    Hi hive,

    I'm in the process of researching and comparing choices for wedding day transportation.  We have 8 people in our bridal party plus the two of us, so 10 total.  I think I should add two to the number for roominess...

    I'm in the Chicago suburbs and all the quotes I've gotten have been the following:

    -$130-$160/hour for stretch limo (10ppl) plus 20% gratuity - 3 hour minimum

    -$145/hour-$175/hour for a stretch SUV (14 ppl) plus 20% gratuity - 4 hour minimum

    Unfortunately, our wedding is in June.  Are these rates on par or pretty high?  Is it fairly common to negotiate the rate? 

    anyone have any advice based on their experience?  Thanks, Hive!

    i think those rates are pretty fair but check out www.limos.com. 

    you can do up to 5 quotes for the same service - a lot of them are instant.  that way you can compare what you have to what the others present.

    hth!

    Our will be $360.00 for four hours 8-10 stretch limo.  I'm in the DC area... just to compare.   They sound a little high but maybe it's your location.  I'd check around!

    Our minibus (seats 20 people) will be $120/hour, 4 hour minimum, in early June. I think a lot of high schools will be having proms around that time, so that could be a reason the rates are high.

    I think that is a good price.  I am getting married in Lexington, KY and am getting quotes in the area of $125 for a town car from point A to B.  Limos are booked for prom season.  I think that is kind of high and your rate sounds better!
