Big events in life should not be underestimated. Weddings, proms, anniversaries and even birthdays should all be celebrated in style. So why on any of these days would any person drive around in their own car or in the backseat of one of their friends sedans? Taking a stretch limo is the perfect way to say it is a special day, and riding in style is the way to go.
A stretch limo is a longer than normal luxury car.
A standard stretch limo will have a mini-bar, a television, top of the line stereo system, and couch-like bench seats. Another perk, the chauffeur, is always inside the driver's seat until they have to get out to open or close the doors for the people inside of the vehicle. Chauffeurs are also usually separated from the back of the vehicle, where the passengers' sit, by a glass, soundproof window. These luxurious amenities are large draws towards stretch limos.
The most common automobiles considered to be stretch limos are Lincoln Town Car L Editions. This town car is a popular choice to become a stretch limo because it is already made to be a luxury sedan when it comes out of the factory. Little work has to be done to the Lincoln in order to make it into a stretch limo. In fact, this model is the most popular car in America to be used as an automobile driven by a chauffeur, and also the most popular automobile to be used as a stretch limo in movies and television shows.
In recent years, the stretch limo has evolved from being developed mostly from luxury cars to new, more exotic automobiles. It is not uncommon these days to see a stretch limo made from a Hummer, Escalade or Excursion, which are all large vehicles made specially into a stretch limo. These models, such as the Excursion and Escalade, of the stretch limo are becoming popular because of the popularity of SUVs and large vehicles. To get an idea of the price of these large limos, a 25 person Hummer Stretch Limo being used for a wedding of four hours costs $979, including gratuity and taxes.
In order to turn vehicles such as an Escalade or Excursion into a stretch limo is no easy task. Most of these vehicles are bought from the company and then stripped. After they are stripped, there are numerous steel pieces added to the framework of the initial vehicle, so it looks like it has been stretched, thus giving it the name stretch limo. From there, they add all the necessary components such as a leather interior, electronics and whatever other luxuries those come inside of these exotic stretch limos.
A stretch limo is a great way to ride in style for any important occasion. For a drive to always remember, a stretch limo can be the difference between memories and mayhem. They are costly, but the most of the time the prices are worth it to ride in the luxury that the stretch limo has to offer.
