 First of all, a limo isn’t really necessary. Consider renting a nice car, or borrowing your dad’s Lincoln. But, if you have your heart set on riding away in a stretch limousine, here are some money saving ideas.

1. Never utter the word wedding. Many services automatically increase their rates for weddings. When calling to hire the limo, simply call the wedding an event, or if they press, a party. It’s not a lie, your reception is certainly a party.

2. Try a funeral home. This may seem a bit morbid, but many funeral homes rent out their limousines to make a little extra cash. Or if you are morbid, ask for a hearse.

3. Always ask about the minimum time requirement. You may call a limo service and get a great hourly rate quote only to find out you have to hire it for at least four hours!

4. Look for a company that caters to corporate services. Limo companies that target weddings cost much more and corporate limos are generally not as busy on the weekends.

5. Don’t bother getting a limo to take you to the ceremony. No one will see you arrive at the church. They aren’t supposed to! Hire a limo just to take you from the church to the reception.

6. Don’t get married on Saturday. Everyone gets married on Saturday, so naturally, prices for everything go up. Have your wedding on Friday or Sunday and watch the rates drop.
