Rental Tips
Don't be afraid to ask about Insurance and Permits.
All limousines are required to carry commercial insurance and the proper permits. Unfortunately, the Yellow Pages and advertising services do not require insurance coverage or permits in order to advertise in their publications. Don't be afraid to protect yourself from "gypsy companies", and ask for proof of these items from your selected limousine company.
Delta Limousine purchases the best insurance possible to be sure your rental experience is worry free for you and your loved ones.
What about - "The Limo Broke Down!" or "We Don't Have your Reservation."
Don't be the unfortunate customer who gets the "The Limo Broke Down" or "We Don't Have Your Reservation" story. Cover yourself ahead of time by dealing with a reputable limousine company. Shopping on price alone can be dangerous. Some unethical operators - will not hesitate to drop a reservation - to pickup a better paying fare.
Charter Limousine Rental Costs - How price is determined. To determine the cost of a limousine charter, several factors are used in determining price.
Delta Limousine operates with absolute integrity when it comes to this issue. Many "mom and pop" or "gypsy" companies couldn't care less if a black limo shows up to your wedding when you ordered a white one, and in fact advertise and book cars they don't even own because their contract states in fine print that they can send whichever vehicle is available. When you book a car with Delta Limousine - You can be sure that you will get the vehicle you booked, or even an upgrade .We have ongoing contracts with some of the areas finest reception centers because of our commitment to making your big day exactly they way you want it. All our pictures are those of vehicles that we own, unlike most other companies who use "stock" photos. All vehicles are available for inspection. Call ahead to be sure it’s available.
Vehicle Rented: Luxury sedans are the least costly, however, they can only transport up to 4 passengers. Your charges will increase proportionate to passenger count and vehicle size.
Hourly Rental Time: Limousine services charge on a per hour basis. Charges may vary from $50/hr upward to $150/hr depending on the amount of time you plan to use and type of vehicle.
Travel Distance: If your transportation involves an abnormal amount of travel time, some services will charge an additional amount.
Delta limousine charges from the time we pick you up to the time we drop you off. If pick-up / drop off is outside of salt lake county, we begin / end billing time at the county line. There are no " fuel " or " mileage " surcharges.
How Much Does It Cost To Rent A Limo?
Limousine rentals run in the neighborhood of $65 - $160 per hour with a MINIMUM of three or four hours of booked time. Many companies require a minimum to 3 or 4 hours to provide service, with exception to standard airport service.
Delta limousine has a three hour minimum in most cases. Transfer rates are sometimes available when using less time.
Do We Have to Pay for the Limo While we Attend the Concert?
In cases where you aren't using the limousine during your rental (such as bar-hopping, dinner reservations, concerts, sporting events, etc.) you still have to pay for the rental time, even if you aren't physically using the vehicle. While you are at a concert, the vehicle cannot be used elsewhere; even when there are 2 or 3 hours in between the and pickup. Some companies sometimes offer a discounted hourly rate when the vehicle is idly waiting outside a concert or sports venue. In addition, if there are more than 4 hours between and pick-up with minimum travel time, some companies may offer a "split" - just a rental to-and-from your destination with no charge for waiting time in between. This is not recommended!
Can We Drink Alcohol or smoke in the Limo?
The policy varies with each limousine service. Also, some states and countries have laws which outlaw such use. UNDERAGE drinking is not allowed under any circumstances.
Delta Limousine allows alcohol in our limousines provided ALL occupants have proof of age. In the event this policy is broken, the ride is over and we call the legal guardians of all involved. Your chauffeur will provide bottled water, ice, and soda. Please let us know of any preferences when placing your reservation. Smoking is not allowed in any of our vehicles.
Do We Have to Tip The Driver?
Yes. The standard tip is 20% of the total fare. If you feel your driver has performed in an exceeding manner, you can tip more. Some companies will AUTOMATICALLY include the gratuity (tip) in their total price quote. When making reservations, always ask if GRATUITY is included in the total price. If not, you should budget an extra twenty percent towards your total bill for driver gratuity.
