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.
Staten Island is the most rural of the five boroughs of New York City. Although still predominantly residential in nature, the borough has changed significantly since the opening of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in 1964.
If you are using a car or limousine service, Staten Island can be reached by bridge from Brooklyn and New Jersey, and by ferry from Manhattan. The ferry is the best option, as it passes by Liberty Island and offers stunning views of the Manhattan skyline and New York Harbor. The ferry is free and operates 24 hours a day out of Battery Park in Manhattan and St. George Terminal in Staten Island. If you are seasick or otherwise uncomfortable on ferries, the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge connects Staten Island with Brooklyn, but you will incur a high toll (US$9.00). A more moderately priced option is to take an express bus from Manhattan to Staten Island. The fare payable with MetroCard is US$5.00. Change is also accepted, but carrying $5.00 in change (fare boxes ONLY accept change) is not a really good idea. The X1 and X10 routes run along Broadway in Manhattan. There is frequent service (about every 6-30 minutes) daily from early morning to past midnight.
The Staten Island Railway (operated by the MTA, which also runs the subways and the majority of buses) is somewhat a hybrid of a railroad and a subway line. While it uses subway-type equipment, it is legally a railroad, as defined by an FRA waiver. Fares are the same as a subway ride (US$2.00), and it runs 24 hours. Unlike the subway, it runs on a set schedule, from every 15 minutes during weekdays, to every hour overnight. Fares are collected only at St. George Ferry Terminal, leading many to exit at the penultimate stop, Tompkinsville, and walk up Bay Street a short distance to the ferry.
