Bachelorette Parties: By
Limo, Party Bus or Sober Driver
If you are not having a home party and are going out
on the town, bar hopping, or to a special event for
your bachelorette parties, it is important to think
about the bachelorette party transportation. We have
listed some ideas below and helpful tips if you are
renting a bachelorette party limo or bachelorette
party bus for your Last Night Out festivities.
Sober Driver: If you are going to have a sober
driver or multiple drivers, make sure to plan this
in advance since you need to have the bachelorettes
taking the sober party oath be responsible and stick
to it. Ask the bride-to-be who would be the most
willing (or who does not drink). Send out an email
or call these bachelorettes early so they can
prepare for the night's festivities and know the
game plan. It is also important to make sure their
gas is paid for by the other girls so collect this
early. Also make sure to bring
bachelorette disposable bags just in case there
is an unfortunate sick bachelorette on the way home
as you don't want a driver to have to get their car
steam cleaned due to a bachelorette party accident.
If you are planning to take a bachelorette party
limo or party bus, we have a few helpful
transportation tips for you below that we are sure
to help in your planning:
 1)
Get a referral for the bachelorette party limo
Ask around to friends who they use for limousines or
a party bus company as "word of mouth" is important
in finding a reputable limo company for your
bachelorette parties. If you don't have a referral,
ask the bachelorette limo company for a referral and
visit their site for more information.
2) Ask for the FINAL cost
Make sure to ask the bachelorette limo company on
how much the day/evening partying will be. There is
usually a package rate for a certain amount of hours
plus gratuity (tip). Make sure the bachelorette
party divas understand how much the limousine is up
front so someone in charge can collect the money
early and not be a diva debt collector after the
Last Night Out. Many bachelorette limo companies
will have you have to place a credit card down as
well as a security deposit so make sure to have a
responsible point person who will also ask up front
for everyone's money who is chipping in. It is
customary for everyone to cover the bride-to-be's
transportation cost. Also find out about how much
additional hours may run. Many bachelorette parties
run later than expected and are charged additional
rates.
3) Find out the bachelorette party limo or party
bus type and interior
Make sure to find out what types of bachelorette
party limos or bachelorette party busses the company
owns. You can get anything from a Cadillac or Hummer
limousine to a large classic stretch limo. Find out
what the interior looks like as many bachelorette
party limo and bus companies have pictures of their
interiors. You want it looking nice if you are going
to spend a lot of time and some hard earned dollars
to get the limo of choice.
4) Find out what the bachelorette party limousine
or party bus includes
Find out what is included in the bachelorette party
limousine package. Some of the common things are a
DVD (makes ure to bring some DVD's), stereo, great
sound system, lights, munchies, alcohol and other
beverages. New ones come with fiber optic lighting,
a stripper pole, and even a Jacuzzi for the crazy
limos and party busses. Again, find out what is
included in the price as well as "wheel and deal"
some additional goodies since you have the diva
buying power as they need your business?
5) Call the bachelorette party limousine company
early and re-confirm a few days before the party
Make sure to ask the bachelorette party limousine
company to confirm a few days prior to the party or
call them direct. There are bachelorette parties
where their specific ordered limousines mysteriously
do not show up as it is at another party (that the
company got more money). Let the bachelorette party
limo or party bus company know that you want a
confirmation 2 days prior as well as a guarantee on
what you order.
6) Ask about bachelorette party group rates
In today's age of gas being more than food and a
soft economy, ask the bachelorette party limousine
company for group/volume discounts. Everyone is
looking for work so they will be happy to offer you
a deal. If not, find another bachelorette party buss
or limo company.
7) VIP passes
Ask the bachelorette party limousine or buss company
for which bars, clubs and entertainment companies
they have VIP access to, which will make it a better
evening as to not stand in any lines and to get free
"ins" to the hottest places. Just make sure you
research the places the company says they have VIP
access to since they may be getting a kick-back from
the club, restaurant, or bar which may not be a
bachelorette "hot spot".
 8)
Pre-Planning for bachelorette parties
Make sure to plan in advance on your general
bachelorette destination(s) and don't have the
limousine driver waste your money on driving without
knowing where to go. Map out your bachelorette party
course of partying in advance so you can have a
rough estimate on where you are going and the amount
of hours you will need the bachelorette party limo
or party bus.
9) Tip the driver
It is customary and actually necessary to tip the
driver of the limo or party bus. Some companies
include gratuity in the amount you pay up front
(find this out). Make sure that all the
bachelorettes have enough to tip the driver as
he/she is taking you and your crazy friends around
for the evening and has to deal with diva pampering.
Just make sure to be cool with the tip but also tip
accordingly to the driver's attitude, help and
entertainment pampering. Typically, 15 - 20 percent
of the rental price is appropriate.
10) Bring drinks and munchies
The best bachelorette party limo rides have you and
the bride-to-be's favorite munchies and drinks. If
you don't bring the food and drink with you, stop
off at a near-by store and load up! The limousine
company may already have loaded up the bachelorette
party limousine which you can ask about when calling
and setting up the reservation. Check out the
bachelorette party candy you can get which will
add to the fun of the evening.
11) Decorations for bachelorette parties
It is very fun to decorate the bachelorette party
limo or party bus with
bachelorette party supplies. Place up streamers,
bachelorette party balloons, and some bachelorette
party
blow up dolls to make the party come to life!
12) Las Vegas bachelorette party
If you are celebrating your party in Sin City look
for a Las Vegas Bachelorette Party Package that
includes limousine for bachelorette parties.
Just make sure to have a great time and not to trash
the limousine. Party like rock stars without the
damage. Remember to not drink and drive which is why
a bachelorette party limousine company or party bus
agency is our transportation pick for bachelorette
parties! Let us know if you have any other
transportation suggestions for bachelorette parties
