Types of Limousines

There are many types of limousines; in the beginning and even today some of the luxury line cars are known as limousines because they are spacious, elegant and very expensive.

You can find all types of airport limousines as well; but mostly the traditional four to eight doors will be available without booking in advance at most international busy airports.

Getting a Bargain on an Airport Limousine Ride

The best way to get a bargain on an airport limousine is if you are traveling in a group. Limousines don't charge by the number of persons, but by the hour and sometimes by distance. Therefore you can split the amount amongst the number of people traveling and thus, you can travel in an airport limousine at a price less than a taxi sometimes.

Other times if you are lucky they may have airport limousine specials especially near holiday such as Christmas, New Years and so on. However taking a limousine on holidays can at times turn against you as most drivers expect a hefty tip for providing services during such festivities and most probably those who travel on such holidays will tip as well.

Helpful Tip

Whenever you do get to travel in a limousine, sit back and enjoy it even if it is a short ride from the airport home or the other way around. Limousines are classy and elegant and people cannot help but wonder who is riding in them when they see one on the road. So, sit back and enjoy the curious looks and take in the world going by from the comfortable interior of your limo.
