A limousine ride adds elegance, comfort, and a little excitement to any special event. Whether you’re heading to a wedding, prom, corporate event, or night out on the town, understanding basic limo etiquette helps create a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone on board.
At Avant Garde Limousines, we provide professional, first-class service—and we want your ride to feel just as polished.
Be On Time
Your chauffeur is working on a carefully planned schedule. Showing up late can throw off your itinerary and shorten your ride time—especially when your reservation is part of a packed event day. When riding with a group, be sure everyone knows the pickup time and location in advance. Arriving a few minutes early helps avoid last-minute confusion and keeps the ride running smoothly from the start.
Treat the Vehicle with Respect
Limousines are designed to provide a premium experience. Help keep the space clean and damage-free by avoiding messy foods, heavy glass bottles, or sharp objects that could scratch surfaces. Be mindful of makeup, glitter, or confetti that can be hard to clean. Our team takes pride in maintaining spotless, high-end vehicles. Treating the interior with care ensures everyone—including the next guest—gets the VIP experience they expect.
Be Kind to Your Chauffeur
Your chauffeur is not just your driver—they’re a key part of your experience. Greet them courteously, communicate clearly about your stops or schedule, and trust their expertise on routes, timing, and safety. Avoid distracting the driver while the vehicle is in motion, and never treat the ride as a “party bus” unless that’s what you’ve booked. Respect goes both ways, and we’re proud to offer a team of professional, attentive chauffeurs who are here to make your ride as comfortable as possible.
Know the Rules (and Follow Them)
To keep the ride safe and enjoyable, every limo company has some basic rules. At Avant Garde, we ask that passengers:
- Remain seated while the vehicle is moving
- Refrain from smoking or vaping inside the vehicle
- Keep music and conversation at a reasonable volume
- Avoid hanging out of windows or sunroofs
These guidelines ensure your safety—and protect the vehicle for future passengers. If you’re unsure about anything, just ask your chauffeur. We’re here to help.
Make the Most of the Experience
Riding in a limo is often tied to a celebration or milestone—so enjoy it! Bring your playlist, take a few photos (without making a mess), and enjoy the chance to relax while someone else handles the driving. If you have any special requests—like a scenic route, music setup, or chilled beverages—let us know in advance. We love going the extra mile to make your time in our vehicle feel unforgettable.
At Avant Garde Limousines, our goal is to deliver an experience that’s polished, professional, and personalized. When everyone understands the basics of limo etiquette, your ride becomes effortless—from pickup to drop-off.
