Dear Reston Limousine,

Thank you very much for transporting students to the Special Education Day Prom at the Waterford Banquet Hall, May 25, 2010. Your enthusiasm and kindness really made it a “Day to Remember” for the students.

Thank you,
Kathy Khair
Special Education Teacher
Herndon High School

1. Talk to your friends early. The demand for transportation during the spring season can be overwhelming when so many others are chartering transportation for prom, graduation, and even weddings! Talk to your friends early and decide who will be in your limo group, so that you can book your reservations and get the vehicle you want.

2. Show up in style. A unique chauffeured car will definitely set you apart from the rest. There are many styles available such as stretch limos with special interiors, sedans and party buses. Depending on the number of people you will have in the car, you may want a certain make or model. Choose something that suits your mood and shows you off. Visit Reston Limousine to view our virtual showroom of limousines to choose the best for you and your group.

3. Allow time to take lots of pictures. You’re definitely going want some memories, so plan for everyone to meet up for pre-prom at one location (make sure the limo company and the chauffeur have the address and directions). This will eliminate wasting time that can be used for taking pictures and enjoying your friends. You can even ask the driver to position the chauffeured vehicle to be a part of the shot.

4. Ask about the perks. Some companies provide food, beverages, and tunes for the ride over to the party. Ask in advance about the amenities that are available, such as sparkling cider to toast the night away. Also ask about the type of music available – be prepared to take some mix CDs that will have enough music for the whole ride so that you have the coolest music for the special night!

5. Extend the night. Don’t forget that there is always a post-prom party. Remember to book your ride for a few extra hours to ensure you have time to have a great time! Most importantly, sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.

And as parents prepare for their teen’s once-in-a-lifetime event, Reston Limousine encourages parents choosing their transportation company to ask for the Prom Promise. This document asks teens and their parents to sign a contract agreeing that passengers will not drink or take drugs on their Prom Night. The contract also opens the door for parents to discuss the importance of safety on prom night with their children.

Reston Limousine is proud to participate in this national program as part of its membership in the National Limousine Association. Here are some other tips for parents, courtesy of Reston Limousine and the National Limousine Association:

Give the transportation company a curfew. That’s right; the chauffeur will abide by any rules you set forth, and will make sure to pick up and drop off your kids at a designated hour. This is a great way ensure your kids make it home on time, no excuses.

Check with industry associations to make sure the company you choose is reputable. Membership in organizations such as the National Limousine Association is a good indication that your service provider does their due diligence.

Set some ground rules. As the parent, you have the right to tell the transportation company what will and will not be tolerated in the vehicle. For example, you can ask that the chauffeur keep the privacy screen down for the entire ride, so that he/she has a full grasp of what your kids are up to. If any of your rules are broken, the chauffeur can turn the car around and bring your kids home.
