Limousines - 09-12-2007, 01:45 PM

I am curious what and how you charge for Limo's. I do boats by the foot, and was wondering if anyone prices Limo's that way. Many of them around here have a HUGE stretch, so they end up being about twice the size of a regular car. I may end up just using an hourly rate.

Any info would be appreciated.

I would definitely go with an hourly rate as you never know what you will find on the interiors of limos...one maybe an executive car, the next a wedding, and the next a prom car

Price them by the hour .... I would also give it a range so that when you hit the inside and find all kinds of things that you might miss you can cover yourself

I do some limo's for two different funeral homes in my town, the limo's i usually charge 45 to do just an inside and out, if i apply wax it is usually $90. these limos are the shorter ones with four doors with a small stretch in the middle and they stay very clean from being kept indide.

Thanks for the responses. On another note, what do you use on the vinyl tops. I am not sure if the regular dressing I use on interiors and wheels will work on the tops, but am guessing it will.

Thanks in advance.

Any good vinyl dressing will work I prefer Ragg Topp, but if you have PB TR or NL they work...303 Areospace is another....the only thing to remember is to buff the area after to get it even and keep it from running
