Making your plans for prom:

Prom dates have been announced, and the exciting preparations begin! Once your teen has answered the BIG questions: who to go with and what to wear, your thoughts will naturally turn to booking a limo service. Most teens dream of going to prom in a limo, but sometimes coordinating everyone who’s going together can get tricky, and too often one family will get left in the position of having to cover the expenses for the kids who backed out because their plans changed. 

Luckily we have some suggestions for you on how to handle the limo reservations for prom night, so that everyone pays their fair share, and no one gets left “holding the bag”.

Have your teenager give you the number of friends who are going to prom together, email all the parents and let them know what is being planned, get their commitment to pay for a share of the limo. Then you can call and get a quote for the limo service. When you know the number of teens who are going, you will know what size limo to reserve. Contact all the parents with the limo rates, and then reconfirm everyone’s commitment to splitting the cost. Just be sure you communicate with the parent, and not only the student.

An adult must make the reservation with a deposit. Then you should start collecting the money from the families involved. Our best advice is not to wait, get those commitments and payments early. Call us with any questions about our prom limo service, or any other questions you have about limo services for Newark Airport.

Good reasons to hire a limo in New York City:

Driving your own car around New York City rarely makes sense. Here are some compelling reasons to book a limo with American City Express for getting around in New York.

NYC has some special rules on their streets that you have to be familiar with before you get behind the wheel. One thing to be aware of is that unlike almost everywhere else in the U.S., you can’t make a right turn on a red light unless (and it’s rare) there is a sign telling you it’s allowed. Also, there are major avenues where you can’t make a left turn during certain hours, so keep your eyes open for those signs too.

In New York there are people everywhere, so you really have to watch out for pedestrians when you’re driving, because they will probably not watch out for you.

Parking is a big headache, and you really have to plan your parking strategy. Prices for parking can vary wildly at garages on the same street. Also, parking garage signs about prices can be tricky. You have to read the fine print to understand how the rates work, and also ask whether they take credit cards or require cash payment.

If you park illegally, you are likely to get a parking ticket anytime of the day or night. Another thing drivers deal with is remembering where they parked their car in this busy city.

Your solution? Reserve a limo New York City, and leave the driving to American City Express. We know you’ll thank us!

Avoid procrastination when you plan holiday travel:

It’s a fact that airfares increase the closer you get to the holidays, so there is no good reason to put off booking your holiday travel arrangements. Also, be sure to pre-arrange your airport transportation with American City Express Limo Newark, instead of just waiting for a cab to come along. Becoming an advance planner can help you avoid long lines, fly through traffic and zip through security checks. You also don’t want to do your packing at the last minute, because it makes you a lot more likely to forget something that you don’t want to be without when you arrive at your destination. 

Another great piece of advice is to plan your connections carefully around the holidays. Sometimes the less expensive flights have very tight connections. During the holiday season there are often delays that can cause you to miss your connection, and then there may not be any seats available on the next flights out. It is far better to have a longer layover and be sure that you can make your connection, than to to cut it too close during the busiest travel time of the year.

One final tip: pack a book (an actual physical book). You may get stuck sitting on a plane for a length of time – it happens around the holidays – and sometimes can’t access a power source or data connection. A book or a magazine may be just what you need to make the time pass quickly.
