When someone hears about riding in a limo, the first thing they think is a luxurious party, a VIP event, or a businessman arriving at an important meeting. Despite what many people may think, limousine services are much more than that. There are many stigmas and misconceptions revolving renting a black car service, and we aim to debunk them here so you can get a clear picture of what it looks like to rent a limo.

Myth #1: Limousine is a car brand name.

First things first; let’s get this misconception out of the way. A limo, short for limousine is not a brand like Ford, Toyota or Honda – it’s a type of car. A limousine represents a large (elongated), often luxurious car, driven by a chauffeur who is separated from the passengers by a partition. The chauffeur is a professional driver, and the time you spend in your limo is completely private. Companies such as AJ Prestige offer different brands of limos in their fleet, so you can choose your preferred brand when booking a ride.

Myth #2: Limousines are only for the rich and famous.

This is false. Although that’s what the classic picture of Hollywood represents, that doesn’t mean that these black car services are available only to VIP. The movies and media do not represent the realistic image of limousine services, more like an idealized version of it. The truth is – anyone can enjoy a ride in a limo, and AJ Prestige has lots of returning “ordinary” customers that like to treat themselves.

Myth #3: Limousines are for special occasions only.

You don’t see limousines often on the streets, so that’s why you automatically assume that people only use them for special occasions. And that’s usually the case – but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to rent a black car service for other purposes. No matter the occasion, you can rent a limo with AJ Prestige, and we’ll be happy to be of service to you, whether you want a ride to McDonalds or the airport.

Myth #4: Renting a limousine is expensive

This is very untrue, as limo/black car services have different rates. Taxis for example, charge by the mileage, while you can rent a limo by the hour and get more mileage out of that time. Limousines are expensive if you want to buy them, not rent them by the hour. Competitively based prices will allow you to get your money’s worth, depending on destination and requested time.

Myth #5: Limousines are only for adults.

While it’s usual that people rent black cars for special occasions such as weddings, they are also available to people under the age of 18 – and prom is one of the most popular events. Minors of course, must be accompanied by an adult, but this won’t take away from the experience of riding in a limo for the very first time.

Myth #6: Limousines are only for riding around town.

If you were worried if limos are safe or legal on highways, don’t worry. The truth is that they are, and there aren’t any laws against limos on highways. Limo/Black car drivers are careful professionals, chauffeurs accredited to operate certified vehicles in any typical road condition. So, a longer trip that might include a ride on the highway is a completely safe thing with AJ Prestige.

Myth #7: Affordable Limo Services only rent out old limousine models.

If you were wondering if there is an affordable limo service near you, look no further. With AJ Prestige as your closest example, you won’t have to worry whether the limo you’re renting is old and outdated. AJ Prestige always has their fleet updated and ready for new customers. In order to lead a successful limo service, there needs to be a constant effort to create a fleet of cars and limos that suit every customer need.

Conclusion

Let’s make limo renting a new thing that is normalized! There is no need for that feeling of separation between limo users and “ordinary” people. Companies such as AJ Prestige are always excited to get new customers with all kinds of backgrounds and professions. And, if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to have a private driver and a limo for a day, why not experience it for the first time with us?
