One of the biggest concerns that many individuals have when choosing a limousine rental is how many individuals will fit into the limousine. This is one of the most important elements of a limousine rental because the number of individuals that will be traveling in the limousine will affect the overall comfort of the individuals and the pleasantness of the trip. Hiring a limousine is usually done because the individuals want to travel in comfort and style. Not having enough room for everyone in the limousine can put a damper on the entire trip. The number of people that can fit into a stretched limo depends on the style and size of limousine chosen.
The smallest stretched limousines can typically carry up to 6 passengers and a driver. An additional person may be placed in the driver’s compartment in the front of the car but this is usually not desirable. Limousines that are able to carry no more than 6 individuals in the passenger compartment typically follow a basic seating pattern; two seats at the back of the limo, two seats on the side of the limo, and two seats that are directly behind the driver’s compartment facing the back of the car. The seats directly behind the driver’s compartment fold up to allow passengers to get into and out of the vehicle easier and the side of the vehicle that is not used for seating typically has the audio/visual system and a bar area.
Mid-sized stretched limousines have the ability to carry up to 10 individuals in the passenger area of the vehicle. These vehicles are very similar to the limousines with a maximum capacity of 6 passengers, with the only major differences being a longer length and more features included in the passenger area of the vehicle. The extra features available in many of these mid-sized stretched limos include fiber optic lighting that make the interior of the limousine look more like a nightclub, fully stocked bar area, and state of the art audio/visual systems.
Larger stretched limousines can carry between 16 and 20 passengers depending on the type of limousine chosen. These limousines are commonly super stretched models of popular SUV’s such as Cadillac Escalades or Hummers. These limousines are commonly rented by larger groups of individuals for travel to a specific location, such as a sports arena, casino, or reception hall. These limos can either be rented by the hour or for the entire day, allowing the individuals to use the vehicle as much as they need. The type of limousine rented should depend on an accurate count of the number of individuals that will be traveling in the vehicle.
