The Truth Behind Leicester Limos

Leicester limos are an excellent way to take any celebration in this glorious East Midlands city to the next level. Whether you need a sleek Rolls-Royce Phantom Limo to transport you and your new husband to your wedding reception at the Manor House in Quorn in nearby Loughborough, or require a H2 Hummer Limo to drive you and your 16-person friend group to your prom celebration at The Clubhouse, Phantom Hire’s Leicester limo hire service will provide you with everything that you need to have an enjoyable, stress-free celebration. 

However, there is often a lot of unwarranted stigma surrounding the luxury car industry, and limos in particular, due to a range of common misconceptions, from them being visually interchangeable or being reserved only for the super rich. In this article, we will highlight some of the most frequent myths surrounding our Leicester limos and explain why these misconceptions are wrong and/or are wildly exaggerated. 

#1 – “Limos Are Only For The Rich”

Given the inherent prestige attached to the majority of models, limousines have unsurprisingly earned a reputation for being exclusively reserved for the highest elites of society. However, this could not be further from the truth; whilst limousines are certainly not dirt cheap, the vast majority of models are relatively affordable and widely accessible, regardless of the client’s economic background. 

When you book with Phantom Hire, your price will depend on the model of your chosen vehicle and how long you need to hire out the limo for. For shorter luxury events, such as a prom or a birthday party, it is unlikely that you will need the limo for more than a couple of hours.

Additionally, Phantom Hire offers a range of luxurious models that are still reasonably priced regardless of how long you need them for – check out our FAQ page for Leicester limo hire for a model-by-model price breakdown. 

#2 – “Limos Are Only For Weddings”

Many people often assume that limos are exclusively used for wedding celebrations, and would feel out of place at any other luxury event. While they are prominently used for weddings, limousines are an incredibly versatile vehicle, and can be effectively used for a wide range of different events.

The important trick with hiring a limousine is to pick the one that will play to the strengths of the event. For example, a Rolls-Royce Phantom Limo is well-suited to weddings because of its sleek design and white colour, which excellently complement the colour scheme of a marital celebration. Conversely, a Range Rover Sports Limo, which is based on a Range Rover SUV and therefore considerably more robust, is better suited for corporate travel or conferences. 

A full breakdown of each limousine available from Phantom Hire and the events they would be best suited for can be seen below:

#3 – “All Limos Look The Same”

This could not be further from the truth. As stated previously, Phantom Hire offers a wide range of different limousines for clients to choose from, all of which have extremely varied designs and bespoke features that give each limo a distinct feel. The Audi Q7 Limo is extremely tech-focused, boasting 4 separate video screens and neon changing ambient lighting, making it the perfect choice for clients wanting the very best in terms of technical innovation. Conversely, the Baby Bentley Limo is considerably more stripped back, with its soft ambient lighting helping to create a soothing, comforting atmosphere.
