Anyone who has been to New York City can attest to the traffic congestion. Hiring a driver, either through a taxi or a limo service, is one of the best ways to get around the area. Limo services aren't just for large parties or wedding celebrations, though. A common misconception among consumers is that limo services only offer large stretch vehicles.

Many limo services also offer vehicles of normal size, like a sedan, an SUV, or even a convertible. These options make limo services available for smaller groups, or even for individual service. While always popular for nights on the town, limo rentals also make a great alternative to a taxi when getting to Broadway theaters, largely because chauffeurs will be safer drivers than cabbies.

These kinds of limo rentals are especially popular in New York City, where public transportation can be quite confusing for the uninitiated. Most limo services in New York advertise their fleet as a stylish and reliable transport to and from Broadway theaters. Car services are well-suited for this, as they will ensure timely arrival for the show. SUVs and sedans won't have the amenities of a stretch vehicle, but they will offer far more comfort than a conventional taxi. Some limo services even offer Rolls Royces and Excaliburs, for the ultimate stylish entry. In addition, these limo services are well suited as a transport to New York City restaurants, especially the black tie steakhouses.

Rates for these limo services are determined mostly by the amenities involved. A smaller vehicle, such as an SUV, goes for approximately $50-$60 an hour. The gigantic Hummer limos, on the other hand, will cost at least $170 an hour. A two-hour minimum is standard, and more expensive vehicles often will have a three or four-hour minimum. Airport services often have flat rates instead of hourly charges, and prices range from $30 to $100. Twenty percent gratuity for the driver is always standard on any kind of vehicle, and tolls are not included in the rental price. Rates can also fluctuate based on the time of service; late night limo rentals often carry a surcharge, though the hourly cost probably won't be affected.

While limo services aren't within everyone's budget, they are more accessible than commonly thought. With a little shopping around, the right deal shouldn't be hard to find.
