The super cars you often find for rent are the many models under the Ferrari and Lamborghini name, both old and new. Most of their Ferraris are the more common Modenas and F430s models. There may still be the older classics like their Testarossas and F40s. But you won’t find any rare Enzo or FXX for rent. Lamborghinis are similarly constrained with just your Gallardos and the older Diablos and Countachs. But you’d be lucky to see a Lamborghini Reventon or a Murcielago that Bruce Wayne demolished in the new Batman Dark Knight movie.

You could find a few Bugattis as well. But they’re the older EB models as the Veyrons are just too expensively rare to be offered as a rentable item. Porsches are a bit on the lower wrung of the supercar status ladder but, yes, there are Porsche 997 Turbos and 911s as well. There are also Aston Martins from the James Bond movies, Audi R8s used by Tony Stark with his Rolls Royce Phantom in Ironman, and the usual Jaguars and Maseratis now under Ferrari name. Then there are the prestige sedans like your Bentley, Maybachs and the Rolls, high end SUVs from BMW and Land Rover as well as the Japanese Lexus and Infinity lineup.

It is rare that you can find cheap supercar hire companies out there as their rentable merchandises are not cheap. They are often specialized affiliates of the bigger car rental companies like Avis and they tend to deal only with expensive prestige cars. They have highly trained staffs that extend one of the highest levels of courtesy to its patrons. Maybe because they know the people they’d be dealing with often belong in the upper social strata.

You won’t get a chauffeured deal as these cars are not meant to be chauffeured. That’s better done with limousines. But super cars are meant to be relished more for the driving experience, hearing the 12-cylinder engine at the back or right at your back in most balance mid-engine configuration and controlling its nimble and spiteful response on the road. So if you have nothing better to do this weekend, contact your nearest supercar hire dealer.

The color is strongly associated with the ladies and is certainly a popular color for just about anything even remotely linked with feminine power. You have it to color your daughter’s room, though pastel pink is the better option. Pink dresses, pink furniture, you name it. But a pink car?

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.

If you are on an extended business trip, make sure you get your company’s travel bureau or HR to arrange with its travel agent to make the necessary bookings for land transportation in addition to the usual plane tickets and hotel bookings. Depending on your company’s travel policies and your management rank, overseas travel may entitle you to different types of cars, ranging from economy compacts to luxury sedans, SUVs and limos.

Similarly, if you are on an extended leisure trip on vacation, unless you’ve taken a cruise or tour package in a group which benefits from tourist coaches or buses, you need to consider how you will move about in a foreign land.

If you have relatives or friends there, you could borrow their cars on sight-seeing trips or get them to guide you on those trips. But they could be too busy for that and don’t have the luxury of a second car to lend to you. So you are left to consider renting one. You can get a long term car hire from a local car rental dealer, but it may be wiser for you to do it before embarking on your trip. Your travel agent could arrange a cost effective package for you which you can charge on your credit card from the start.

If you’re not sure if your city of destination accepts your credit card, if at all they do. Just make sure the car you hire will be robust enough to bring you the places you want to visit and roomy enough for you and your family members.

If you will be in a foreign land for more than 3 days, it’s a good idea to get a long term car hire. There may be no savings for a few days but you have the car with you at any time and need not bother returning it to the rent dealer after each day. Otherwise, you’d be incurring hourly charges that can cost more.

For the less financially blessed peasants out there, they can either save up or rent one of those dream prestige cars once in a while. Special occasions in one’s life can warrant renting of them to get you in style on the road on your way to a party or event. A Rolls Royce Phantom, a Benz Maybach or a Bentley Arnage figure prominently as dream cars for many.

You can drool on a Phantom ridden by the character Tony Stark in the Iron Man movie. Or fantasize on the any of those favorite Ferrari FXX of Eight-time world champion Michael Schumacher. Or feast your eyes on the world fastest car, the Bugatti Veyron. Even if you can afford it, you’d be standing in line for up to a year waiting to have it delivered. The Ferrari FXX won’t even be delivered to your place as it is reserved only to your name. You can ride one but only when you’re in Italy.

The lesser prestige cars are quite common on the roads though. You have those Porsches and BMWs. Most Ferraris are likewise a common sight. Lamborghinis as well. Once can only drool and dream when any of these pass by your parked SUV. But that doesn’t mean you can enjoy one. There are car hire companies that can have them at your disposal for a song. But only for an hour or two, or the song becomes a symphony.

For special occasions that require your presence in a tuxedo, your everyday SUV or family compact car won’t punctuate the event for you. Better have a chauffeured Bentley or Benz reserved to pick you up on the appointed time. Looking your best on those special rare moments not only means looking good but also means being seen getting out of any of those prestige cars. Renting a limousine is perhaps the closest you can do and the cheapest. Just make sure the car doesn’t carry the sign AVIS to give it away.

But you have to admit that these cars symbolize a special place in the automotive traditions as being innately extraordinary and special. 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.

It’s not for everyday use. While that would be nice, riding often in one loses its appeal and becomes as bland as riding in your sub compact. 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.

• Weddings Festooned stretch limo services are common for bridal cars that start out with the bride getting out to meet the groom in church and ends with the newly weds being whisked off to the reception banquet or their new home. Bridal car rentals are a thriving business on its own, with alternatives like vintage limos or open top convertible limos like the Lincoln Continental.
• Special Occasions Special means a once in rare while occasion that certainly warrants only the best you can afford. Bringing your daughter to a debutante ball or your kid to a graduation ball, or simply celebrating a birthday binge with friends, nothing beats a stretch limousine to get you where you want to be. That’s what stretch limos for rent are for. Expensive but nowhere near the expense of owning one yourself. It’s well worth the rental for a few hours or a weekend as it completes the celebration and the rare experience it affords.
• Concerts and Premiere Nights Celebrities love to get off from stretch limousines. These days you see them alight from stretch H3 Hummer or SUV limousines. If you think stretch sedans are extravagant, those newer SUV limos bring the extravagance to greater heights. Mobile dance floors, anyone?

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.

Parties need not be confined within the walls of your home or apartment. Something special can best be underpinned with something as unique and exciting as a party on the road. There are specially modified and outfitted buses, vans and trailers that provide you with home-like amenities that make a party among 12-16 guests a mobile intimacy and revelry that can’t be had at home or restaurant.

A party limo bus can be rented and you can specify how large to accommodate the number of guests you have in mind. The most you can have are often around 20 passengers in medium sized vans outfitted as a limo bus. This is just excellent for that intimate dinner party with your closest of friends or a large family. They are large enough to have a small dance floor to get you down, with 40-inch LCD TV and multichannel sound systems with karaoke, laser lighting, open bars and opulent couches.

If you need a large luxury limo bus, this maybe problem as the legal limit to transport passengers on a public limo bus is just eight, regardless of the size of the limo. Most of the limo vans and buses are thus constrained for 8 passengers but that won’t limit you on a privately secured limo as many online limos for hire can carry up to 20 passengers in larger mobile party limo buses. Find one in your area as the service is not exactly as common as renting conventional limousines and stretched SUVs and sedans.

They cost more but most online sites entertain quotations by phone or once they receive your online inquiry. Check them out. You and your friends won’t regret it as some of the most memorable and fun-filled partying experience can be had while on the road.

One special area to really think about is the bridal car. Unless the family can borrow from relatives or have a Rolls, Bentley or Benz stored in a garage somewhere precisely for special occasions, a wedding gives ample reason to look for a wedding car hire that matches your needs.

There are the usual stretched Cadillac and Benz limousines that are quite common and lend an air for regal formality to the occasion. But don’t let that confine your choices. You can now indulge in your dreams of riding a stately Bentley or Rolls as there are Rolls Royce wedding car hire companies that would only be too glad to provide the would-be couple with one.

Another interesting option to consider for a bridal car are those fully restored vintage cars like the Bugatti Royale or those Rolls Royce Phantom limos of the 20s and 30s. You can also go open-top with a Cadillac Eldorado of 1958 or 59. Going vintage for your bridal car is a tad less common as an option to the staid stretch limos and can easily lend an air of historic romance to the occasion.

Check out some vintage wedding car hire companies online. It doesn’t have to be prestige marquee but any open convertible vintage car will do. It’s the next best thing to getting a royal carriage that ferried Prince Philip and the late Princess Diana to their failed wedding of the century.

Once you’ve chosen your bridal car, the next step is getting it decorated for the event. Festooning the car is often part of the bridal car hire package but it’s so simple to do, unless you want it to be elaborate, you or your family members and friends can do that for you a day or a few hours before the event. Your wedding consultant should be able to cover this area as well.

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.

It isn’t all that expensive to rent a limo. If you only need it for an hour, a chauffeured stretched limo good for 10 passengers can set you back for a mere ₤175 within central London with ₤100 for every hour. You can shop around online as the internet is full of merchants offering alternative cheap limousine hire services.

For weddings, airport-hotel transfers or a night around town with friends, limousine services can provide the luxury and privacy you need. And don’t forget that limousines are not limited to stretched sedans. The rage these days are those stretched SUVs and Hummer off-roaders that offer a roomier sybaritic opulence that gets constrained in the conventional sedan-based limousines.

You can have a stretched Cadillac Esplanade, Lincoln Navigator or H3 Hummer with open bars, revolving lounge chairs, home theater-like media systems, computers and even gaming systems. They are more expensive, often twice the cost or renting standard stretch limousines.

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.
