It may interest you to know that among the car catalogs of companies renting out SUVs, vans, cars and limos, they have a special category for a pink limo. And it’s not limited to your stretched limousine. They also have limo buses and vans, as well as SUVs and H3 Hummers in the loudest pink colors. Whatever occasion you plan to celebrate with, it’s often not enough to be seen getting out of those stately but stiff black or white limousines. Not only does it turn heads, a pink limousine can make you the talk of the town, at the very least, the talk of the party you’re attending.

If you are planning to make the most of a special occasion, be it a once-in-a-lifetime event like a wedding , a prom night out, a college graduation, or a mere once-a-year treat like birthdays and anniversaries, mother’s day and valentine’s celebration, never fail to put a limousine service in your list to bring your celebrants to their place of festivity. And if you want something that goes beyond the ordinary, get a pink limo. You could spend a bit more for them, but the rare experience of those heads turning your way as you drive down the road are just priceless.

Even promotional and corporate events like sponsorships and TV commercials can benefit from getting those banners and ads splashed or draped in pink cars and buses. Field trips of grade schooler on pink limousine buses? Why not? Any mobile activity or road presence that aims to attract and turn heads can benefit from them. And unless you really want to shock the living daylights out of your neighbors and the people on the road, just don’t use a pink limo in a funeral.

It has its place in the social consciousness as the most preferred mode of road transport for many rare occasions that deserve to be celebrated in stylish pomp and festive opulence.

But if used to complement those rare occasions, the experience can be priceless. Name those special moments and roughly 80% of them can be punctuated with a touch of a stretch limo to bring the celebrants to their festive destinations.

There are many special occasions that can justify indulging in a limo rental. For sure, you can’t really look your best in a tux or evening gown alighting from a beetle, a station wagon, a pick-up or a subcompact. Sometimes you need to have some self respecting attitude to show your best to the world and also to show respect to the occasion itself. They don’t come every day so do yourself a favor and rent a decent car, preferably a limo.

Now don’t get the notion about a limo as one of those stretched limousines you see in the movies. Limousines are not stretched but stretch limousines are. Your usual Mercedes Benz sedan is a limo and so are most upscale 4-door sedans like the Volvo S40. In other words, there’s no need for a stretch limo rental. But it helps.

A wedding or a debutante’s ball can best be served with a stretch limousine. But a standard limo will do just fine. There are certain occasions when special limousines are better though. If you plan on having a wild night out with your friends around town or on your way to a secluded part of country, consider getting those larger SUV or H3 Hummer limousines.

There are hummer limo rental companies that offer a wide selection ranging from the simple stock H3 Hummers to a stretched 10-window Hummer limousine. They are roomier and can accommodate an intimate gathering of 8 to 16 people with enough room for a swiveling lounge chairs, open bars, laser lights, a 40-inch LCD and multichannel sound system. There are Hummers specially outfitted with a dance floor as well, so you can party all night while on the road to your weekend villa or summer house.

Needless to say, these SUV and Hummer limousines cost more, about triple the hourly rates of conventional limos. But hey, we’re not talking of something you’d be doing everyday, but a special moment in your life. These special events deserve special treatment to make their celebratory values unforgettable to say the least. What better way to spend a special occasion than to indulge on a limo rental.

On that last note, the car that brought you to your prom night, a gala event, or to your wedding, getting it right can be a no brainer. Unless you have a vintage heirloom car stashed in your garage fully restored and reserved for the special moments in your life and those of your loved ones, it’s good to know there are limousine hire companies that can provide the right transporting props for that special event.

Get inside a Phantom Rolls Royce that “Ironman” Tony Stark used in the movie, a Bentley Arnage or any of those stretched limousines you see celebrities and stars ride when attending the Oscar nights. It won’t be everyday that you or your loved one can savor what it feels like riding in a pedigreed limo and that is what makes those rare moments in one especially memorable. Bringing your kid to the school prom in one or just have a night out with your family to celebrate a birthday, a stretch limousine hire can make the event a lot more enduring.

For weddings, airport-hotel transfers or a night around town with friends, limousine services can provide the luxury and privacy you need.

One thing missing is the bridal car. The couple may simply opt to use the best car they have, but unless they have a Rolls, a Bentley or at least the Benz stashed in the garage for special occasions, they might as well complete the perfect picture with the proper bridal car. There are limo cars that commonly suit the occasion. No need to buy one. You can just rent for the day and your wedding planner should have that under control as well.

Now the question is which limousine to use. There are many and your car rental firm offers a wide selection of limo cars for hire starting with standard stretched Cadillacs and Benz limousines or the stock Lexus, Rolls and BMWs that lend an air of regal formality to the event. Or you could also consider renting any of those restored vintage sedans and limousines like a Packard Victoria an older Rolls or a Bugatti Royale. An open top Cadillac Eldorado between 1958 and 1969 can be a great choice as well.

Or you can have a more romantic Cinderella-like horse-drawn carriage. Check with your wedding planner, these unique bridal car options may cost a lot more but nothing is really too costly for the occasion. Moreover, you won’t need to rent the car for the entire day, unless you are planning a day-long wedding festivity. Most nuptial events with their associated banquets don’t last more than 4 hours or half a day at the most. So your rental cost shouldn’t be a money problem for the affair.

Once the choice of bridal car is made, the next choice is the car décor. Some rental companies offering limo cars can do the wedding decorations for the bridal car free of charge or for a minimal fee. It’s not difficult and unless you want a more elaborate festooning, even your family members can do that for you.

But those exotic sports are more for the adventurous and the bachelors taking their partners for a joy ride. Don’t forget they’re just two-seaters. For the aristocrat with a family, a limousine sedan car is a better social statement on city roads. Limousine cars are more restrained, dignified and defines your social status better than most cars. While those exotic sports cars are better off screaming to the world you’re carefree nature, limousine cars can be more poetic in hinting to the world you have arrived.

With the world in recession, one would think that exotic and luxury would be the firs to go. But that never happened even at its heights last year. In fact, marques like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley and BMW, among others, have thrived well and some, like the Ferrari Evoluzione series have a long list of customer orders that won’t get satisfied soon enough, recession or not, no matter how high the oil prices go.

They don’t mean a thing to the markets awashed with 80% of the world’s resources. On the other hand, the automakers targeting the wider low-to-middle class markets with SUVs are the ones that faltered, with auto giants like GM and Chryslers biting the dust, as it were.

It is plain the economic recession has hardly made itself felt among the really rich, the upper 20% crust in the social strata in any society around the planet. This is the market for Rolls Royce, Bentley and Ferrari cars that continue to be patronized regardless of what the economy is about. Exotic sports and limousine cars are ageless.

They are your fine thoroughbreds that are impervious to the seasonal ups and downs of any economy. That is why the likes of Rolex, Bulgari and Cartier have survived centuries to remain standing tall. The same goes with the makers of high end luxury limousine cars that even appreciate over time to become valued vintage cars decades from now.
