Different Types of Limos
Limousines come in all colours, shapes and sizes. Below we have a list of some of the more popular types of limousines and their specs.
The Classic / Standard Limo
Classic limousines are decorated beautifully and are a blast from the past. The classic limo company or car hire is typically used for more formal events, such as weddings or very important occasions, as opposed to a wild birthday party, a night on the town, or an airport rental. Because of their elegance, they make a statement representing class, style, and tradition. Like other limousines, a classic limousine comes in a wide distribution of colours, from white to pink to black and silver, as well as a huge variety of different brands.
Stretch Limos
The stretch limo is the most popular type of limousine. It tends to be popular with an older audience as opposed to the limousines of choice for high school students planning matric functions and the likes. With all the new types of limousines, standard stretch limousines are slowly faltering out of the industry, however at this time they remain the most popular limo and the most rented. Many people don’t know this, but sometimes a stretch limousine can cost the same price as a regular sedan limo. So the next time you hire a car to pick you up from the airport or wherever you may be, check the stretch limo prices: you might just be able to enjoy a bit of luxury without much of a price difference.
Convertible Limos
If it is a beautiful summer day or night, why not get a convertible limo instead of an indoor limousine? Show off your style on a beautiful summer day. The only downfall to a convertible limo is that it is not practical for all seasons or temperatures. A convertible limo with the top down is gold when cruising down Sunset in California, or enjoying a scenic drive along the coast in Florida. There aren’t very many limo companies that offer the convertible style limousine, and the ones that do are typically located in areas with warmer climates. Feel the wind in your hair and the sun on your skin and experience convertible limo euphoria!
Sedan Limos
The Sedan limousine is usually not much more than a luxury chauffeured Sedan. It is usually the lowest priced limo for most company’s limo fleets, and also the easiest. It is commonly rented for occasions such as airport travel or business trips. Sometimes a casual limo is a better choice than an extravagant expensive limo, depending on the occasion. It is definitely usually the cheap limo option and may not make that much of a statement, but that can be good depending on what you are going for. Most Sedan limousines come in black.
As with any industry, the limousine industry is constantly reinventing itself. As time marches ever forward, there is a need for improved services and better products. Funky Rides is the leader in luxury limousine rentals in Johannesburg. They pride themselves on having some of the best limousines in the industry, as well as some of the friendliest and most experienced staff around.
