PROM NIGHT:
How to Book A Limousine Service for Prom New York
It's that time of the year again when young girls begin to frantically search for the perfect prom dress, the pair-fect prom shoes, the perfect prom hair style, and most dreamily perfect prom date. The boys had it easy with only a tux or a suit to think about. But there is at least one area where both would have to face: how to get there. Well, why not do in style? It's the best night of all nights of your young lives. You can make it more memorable by arriving in a limo with your best friends along with your dates. Unless your last name is Trump, it's not every day that you arrive at an event in a limousine. Here's a rundown of all of the things you need to think about if you want to pimp your ride to prom.
JUMP START. Don't miss the boat ...er, make that car. Since limos are in high demand during prom season, plan to book yours early. Two to three months before prom should give you enough time to make the arrangements.
HOP IN. Limousines come in all shapes and sizes. Figure out exactly how many people will be in your group since that will determine the kind of limousine you end up with. A basic rule of thumb is that a super-stretch limo will hold 10-12 passengers; for a standard stretch limo, 6 passengers is plenty.
GAS 'N' GO. If you're gonna ride like a star, prepare to shell out some cash. Booking a limousine for the evening will start at around $400. You can keep the cost down by going with a group and splitting the expense. You'll also need to tip the driver, usually 15-20% of the total fare. Some companies will include the tip in the total charge, so make sure to ask in advance. And don't forget to comparison shop -- prices vary widely, so you should check around to find the best deal.
SPEEDBUMP. You might be asked to make a deposit in advance. This is to cover any mishaps that may happen during the night -- like big messes in the car, blah blah blah. Just keep everything under control and you'll see that money again post-prom.
BUCKLE UP. It's crucial to find out before
booking a limousine service in New York if the company is licensed. If not, you may get stuck with poor service, a shoddy limo, and a rude driver. Check references and your contract carefully. And get an after-hours phone number for someone at the company -- just in case you hit a few unexpected curves.

Every ride in a New York NY Limo is a unique experience all by itself.
Long Island is, literally, a long island stretching eastward from New York City. The largely suburban area is approximately 115 miles long from Brooklyn and Queens at the western end, to Montauk at the easternmost point. At its widest the island is approximately 20 miles from north to south. While Long Island geographically includes Brooklyn and Queens, politically Long Island in general includes Nassau County and Suffolk County of New York State only.
The primary tourist attractions are the large number of excellent beaches along Long Island Sound to the north and especially along the Atlantic Ocean to the south. The North Fork is also home to many wineries. Other attractions include harbor towns such as Port Jefferson, where a variety of eateries and small businesses thrive in a bohemian atmosphere.
Long Island is essentially a suburban area throughout (except for the Twin Forks region, which is rural) and has few major cities.
There are many ways to get into Long Island: by plane, by train, by boat and by car. National and international airlines land and take-off at four major airports in Long Island. They are MacArthur Airport in Islip (which is a convenient regional airport centrally located on Long Island), John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), LaGuardia Airport (LGA), and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), which is located to the west of the Island (and New York City) in the state of New Jersey.
Long Island Railroad (LIRR) provides service to and from the New York City area to most major towns on the Island. Be aware, however, that the farther from New York City one travels, the more sporadic service becomes.
If you prefer going in by boat, there are ferries available at the north shore of Long Island Sound.
When considering using a car or limousine service, one can take into account the many controlled-access highways that run through New York City from Connecticut and New Jersey. It is advisable, however, to travel on routes that do not cross Manhattan Island (where traffic is perpetually horrendous). From New Jersey, I-278 runs across Staten Island to Brooklyn where major roads (including Route 27 and the LIE) can be reached. From Connecticut, take I-95 South to I-678 and the Throgs Neck Bridge. Once into Queens, nearly every major thoroughfare is encountered while still heading south on 278.
A convenient way to bypass most traffic is to take a car ferry from either Bridgeport, CT to Port Jefferson (on the North Shore in the center of Suffolk County) or New London, CT to Orient Point (on the North Fork).
