Effectively Operating A Limo Rental Business In Broward County


Effectively Operating A Limo Rental Business In Broward County

February 17, 2008

Broward County is one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in Florida, and is truly a diverse and multi-ethnic urban county, which is the second largest in the state.

The county covers such large cities like Ft Lauderdale, Hollywood, Deerfield Beach, Plantation, Coral Springs, Miramar and many other communities. This area is also close to West Palm Beach, Miami, South Beach and the Florida Keys.

The county also offers a modern and convenient transit system, parks and recreational areas, as well as having the largest, fully-accredited school district system in the US. This large county is also home to several major airports and cruise ship ports, and is home to many private limousine rental service firms.

Operating a Limo Rental Service In Broward County

Just like in neighboring Miami-Dade, limo rental firms in Broward County offer the finest limousine models available, ranging from Hummer SUV's, Stretch Limos, Sedans, Super Stretch, Stretched SUV, Luxury Van & Mini-Bus, Escalade's, 40 passenger Limobuses and more.

The rental firms here offer transport services for occasions like weddings, bachelor or bachelorette parties, proms, sporting events, bar tours, excursions and anything else. Limo rental service firms here cover every specialized luxury transportation needed in the county, and may even extend their services up to the greater Miami area.

Find Official Sources of Info in Operating Limo Rentals

As there are many Web sites that teach people the basics on starting a limousine rental service, one good site to go for further information and advice, is the National Limousine Association's Web site. This industry association should be your first stop in fully understanding the complexities of this booming industry.

You could also check out the "Resources for Operating a Limousine Company" section, where you will gain additional knowledge from topics ranging from Starting a Limo Rental Business to Vehicle Maintenance, Tax Strategies and Comprehensive Vehicle Insurance coverage.

Widening Your Advertising Reach & Getting More Clients

A good way of increasing your client base in this large and diverse county, is to advertise in newspapers, Yellow Pages directories and school newspapers when approaching the prom and graduation seasons. This will surely help in getting your rental firm’s phones ringing.

It would also be good to contact hotels and resorts, nightclubs, wedding and event planners, celebrity event handlers and coordinators, as well as large corporations, to drop off business cards and fliers. You could also do some casual talk with a firms' marketing and public relations supervisors or staffers, and let them know about the limo services you provide so they too can have their guests and clients ferried around town in elegance.

Elegant luxury vehicles like limousines are no longer limited to being simply stretched Cadillacs or Lincoln sedans. The limos of today include jazzed-up, mile-long Hummer , pick-up truck SUV’s, and theme vehicles with opulent built-in saunas, hot tubs, grand pianos and mini discos laser lights, mirror balls, and mini dance floors.

In most areas of the United States and Canada, or in most counties in Florida to be specific, a special business and driver's license known as a chauffeur's license is needed to legally operate a limo service and drive the vehicle, or hire drivers to man the vehicles.

Therefore, rental service owners should always check out their area's regulations first, before making any investments, or before deciding to expand their own rental services.
