The Prom Limo Checklist for DFW Parents

Prom transportation is a safety decision disguised as a fun one. Here are the nine questions we would ask any company, including us, before handing over a group of teenagers for the night.

1. Is the company licensed and insured?

Ask for the USDOT number and confirmation of commercial insurance. A vehicle with the wrong plates and a personal policy is a real risk in DFW prom season.

2. Who is the chauffeur, and is he or she background checked?

You should be able to get the chauffeur’s name before the night and know that the company runs background checks. Ours are held to the same standard as our security officers.

3. What is the alcohol policy?

The only acceptable answer for a trip with anyone under 21 is none, no exceptions, with the chauffeur empowered to end the trip if it is violated.

4. Who controls the itinerary?

The parents set the stops. The chauffeur should not deviate because a passenger asks. Get the itinerary in writing.

5. Can a parent reach dispatch during the trip?

Yes should be the answer, 24 hours a day, with a real person.

6. How many passengers is the vehicle rated for?

Ten in a stretch, fourteen in our party bus. A company that says fifteen will fit in a ten passenger limo is a company that cuts other corners too.

7. What happens if the vehicle breaks down?

Ask about the backup plan. A fleet with more than one vehicle can send a replacement.

8. Is there a security option?

This is the question most parents do not know they can ask. Because we are a licensed security company, we offer Personal Protection Transportation: the chauffeur is a licensed, armed, plain clothes Level 4 Personal Protection Officer. For a teen who is high profile, going through a difficult situation, or just precious to you, it is worth a conversation.

9. When does it sell out?

In DFW, the good vehicles for late April and May prom weekends are gone by early March. Book when the date is announced.
