For parents of high-school aged children, spring means prom season is here. The glitz and glam of the night makes riding around in a limo both exciting and enjoyable. However, this is only the case if you choose the right service provider. As a parent, it's your duty to ensure your child is safe and paired with a vehicle that will best meet their needs. Here are a handful of tips to help you choose wisely.

Know What You Need

Have a clear idea what your child's needs will be for prom night transportation. Knowing this information beforehand will make it easier to choose both the right type of vehicle and help accurately assess costs. Do they only need transportation to the prom or do they need transportation to and from the prom as well as transportation to dinner and an after prom event?

Will your child be picking up other teens after prom? Both of these questions will help you determine how much the transportation will cost for the evening as well as how large of a vehicle you need.

Research Safety

For many parents, prom is somewhat of a nerve-wracking time. It's often one of the first times children are allowed to go out and enjoy a full evening, parent-free. Keep them protected by keeping safety in mind when choosing a limo service. Only choose companies that have a valid professional DOT license, good reviews and an insurance policy.

It's also helpful to find out whether or not they require background checks for new drivers. Choosing a company with good safety measures will help better ensure the safety of your child on their special night.

Inspect The Vehicle

When making a prom night reservation, ask to see the actual vehicle that will be transporting your child, beforehand. Don't just look at pictures. This is important for a number of reasons. First, it can help avoid disappointment on the night of prom. There are few things worse than thinking you're getting one type of vehicle only to find out the vehicle is either too small or not equipped with features you want. 

Secondly, it helps ensure the vehicle is in good and safe condition. If the company is unwilling to show you the vehicle beforehand, you should consider this a red flag.

Make sure you are taking the time to choose a limo service that will best meet the needs of your child on their special night. To begin your search, check out a limo service like Ambassador Limousine.
