Limo Advice for Toronto

View quoted message We have decided to go with Uber Black. I had looked into Uber Events, apparently, for them to setup the code it will cost $1000. Unfortunately that is out of my budget =( however, i’m sure it would be a good idea for big wedding parties or if you would also like to provide transportation to your guests.

View quoted message My budget is less than the amount quoted from the limo company. I have done some research, I think we will go with an Uber Black. Thanks for the advice!

Hey Cindy!! The price you were quoted may seem high to you as most transportation services have a minimal rental time of 3/4 hours. It might be a good idea to contact other limousine services in your area to see if you can get a more competitive price. Here is a list of Wedding Transportation Services in Toronto for you to begin your search.

Uber or Lyft would certainly be a cheaper option but if you decide to go down this route, you should be sure to order them in advance. It may be a good idea to look into Uber Events and see if this would work for you.

That is a decent deal! Like Becky has said you are paying for the waiting time.

We got a deal on our limo, $850 plus tax and tip for 4 hours to pick us all up, and then take us to pictures, and then to the ceremony. We then have to pay another $150 for pickup for us at the end of the night.

So the price you got seems pretty reasonable for what you are getting! You could do Uber or Lyft but make sure you book it in advance so you aren't scrambling if they are busy

This quote is the same price as where I am- I live near Owen Sound which is 3 hours from toronto. Maybe less. They are charging you per hour of waiting in between and this is why. Even if you decided to only have them drive you ten minutes to the venue the first time- they would still charge you a minimum rate. Most limo places charge for min of 4 hours at 100 per hour.

You could find Uber at 1-2am for sure in that area.

our limo place gave us a price for X hours and then pick up at night. So we have the limo for 5 hours (picking up from my house, going to the church, going to the venue with parents and bridal party for photos) and pick up in the evening.

the limo price is high for you because you need a minimum set of hours. So I assume they quoted you their minimum price.

Its up to you, if it’s in budget and you think it’s worth it for the use (I.e. you’ll have multiple evening pick ups and drops off if people are leaving at different times) then it might be worth it.

Budget cost can define if the limo fits for the transportation needed or have a designated driver for the whole time.

Uber and Lyft may cost lot less and for the time to get back to the hotel. Call a company ahead of time and find out if they would cater to your timing and how many will fit in 1 car requiring that many for the wedding party. Inquire the price and that way you can see if that will fit your budget better than the limo.
