Average Limo Pricing in Las Vegas by Duration and Vehicle

Below is a high-level view of typical ranges you’ll see for modern, well-maintained vehicles with a professional chauffeur. Your exact quote can be higher or lower based on demand, itinerary, and inclusions.

Vehicle Capacity Typical Minimum Avg. Hourly Rate Sample 3-Hour Total (Before Fees/Tip)
Stretch Limousine (Lincoln MKT) 8–10 2–3 hours $125–$175 $375–$525
Limo Sprinter 13 3 hours $150–$200 $450–$600
Limo-Style Party Bus 20–40 3–4 hours $175–$275 $525–$825

Note: “Hourly rate” is the base cost and may not include taxes, fuel, premium event surcharges, or chauffeur gratuity.

 

What Makes Up the Price? (Cost Components)

Understanding how quotes are built helps you compare apples to apples:

  • Base hourly rate: The core per-hour price for your chosen vehicle and chauffeur.
  • Minimum hours: Many bookings have a 2–4 hour minimum, especially on Fridays/Saturdays or during major events.
  • Chauffeur tip/gratuity: Customarily 15–20% of the base fare. Some quotes include it (gratuity-included), others line-item it.
  • Fuel surcharge: A small percentage that offsets fuel volatility (often 3–8%).
  • Taxes & regulatory fees: Local taxes, airport fees, or licensing fees may apply.
  • Airport fees & parking: For airport pickups, expect possible terminal/parking or meet-and-greet fees.
  • Overtime: If you run past your reserved time, overtime is usually billed in 15–60 minute increments—sometimes at a higher “overtime” rate.
  • Cleaning/damage fees: Excessive spills, confetti, or glitter can trigger a cleaning charge. Smoking typically incurs a fee.
  • Point-to-point vs. hourly: Some transfers are flat-rate (e.g., airport → hotel). Hourly charters cover cruising, multiple stops, and wait time.
  • Deposit: A reservation deposit is common—often applied to your final bill. Event deposits may be nonrefundable inside a cutoff window.

 

How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Limo for X Hours?

Here are ballpark totals for standard, non-holiday dates. These assume the lower end of the hourly range, no surcharges, and gratuity added at 18%. Use them to budget; your quote will be personalized to your event.

2 Hours

  • Stretch Limo: ~$295–$415 (includes 18% tip)
  • Limo Sprinter: ~$355–$475 (may require 3-hour minimum on weekends)
  • Limo-Style Party Bus: ~$405–$635 (often 3–4 hour minimum)

3 Hours

  • Stretch Limo: ~$435–$615 (incl. tip)
  • Limo Sprinter: ~$530–$705
  • Limo-Style Party Bus: ~$610–$950

4–6 Hours (Popular for Nights Out & Proms)

  • Stretch Limo (4 hrs): ~$575–$820
  • Limo Sprinter (4 hrs): ~$710–$950
  • Party Bus (4 hrs): ~$820–$1,250
  • For 6 hours, multiply accordingly; many clients prefer 5–6 hours for a relaxed schedule.

Full Evening (5–6 Hours)

Perfect for dinner → photos → multiple venues → late-night return. Bundle pricing may reduce the per-hour rate.

 

How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Limo for a Night or Weekend?

  • One night (5–6 hours): Stretch Limo ~$700–$1,200; Limo Sprinter ~$900–$1,400; Party Bus ~$1,100–$1,900.
  • Whole weekend: Some clients book split shifts (Fri night + Sat night). Expect a package with a lower blended hourly rate but higher total due to demand. Deposits and stricter cancellation policies are common on weekends.

 

How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Limo to the Airport?

  • Point-to-point airport transfer in a stretch limousine is commonly a flat rate plus fees/tip; in many cases, it’s comparable to a one-hour charter.
  • Meet-and-greet or curbside pickup options can add small fees but deliver a smoother experience for first-time visitors or groups.
  • Larger groups (13–40) often choose Sprinters or party buses, which can be more economical per person than booking multiple sedans.

 

How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Limo for a Wedding?

Weddings introduce more moving parts—bridal party photos, split pickups, ceremony → reception transfers, and potential idle time. Typical wedding packages:

  • 3–4 hour package for ceremony & photos: Stretch Limo ~$600–$950; Limo Sprinter ~$800–$1,200; Party Bus ~$1,000–$1,600.
  • 5–6 hour package covering first look + ceremony + reception arrival: Scale up from above; many couples prefer this window to avoid overtime risk.
  • Ask about bridal ribbons, interior décor policies, champagne service, and getaway car add-ons.

 

Factors That Affect Limo Pricing (and How to Optimize)

  • Vehicle type & size: A stretch limo costs less than a limo-style party bus. Choose the smallest vehicle that comfortably fits your group.
  • Date & time: Fridays/Saturdays, holidays, fight nights, big concerts, and major conventions command peak pricing. Midweek is value territory.
  • Season & events: CES, EDC, F1, New Year’s Eve, and playoff runs can spike demand—book early.
  • Duration & minimums: If your plan is 2.5 hours but the minimum is 3, consider using the time for photos or an extra stop to maximize value.
  • Route complexity: Multiple pickups across town increase time and distance (and sometimes require a Sprinter instead of a limo).
  • Deadhead distance: If your starting point is far from the garage, a travel time fee may apply. Starting near the Strip or airport can help.
  • Amenities: Specialty lighting, premium sound, stocked coolers, and red-carpet service can add cost but elevate the experience.
  • Lead time: Booking 2–4 weeks ahead locks inventory and pricing, especially for weddings and weekends.

 

Real-World Scenarios (What Most People Book)

  • Bachelorette night: 5 hours in a Limo Sprinter—photos at the welcome sign, dinner on the Strip, lounge hopping, late drop at the hotel.
  • Prom package: 4–5 hours with a stretch limo, clear curfew, and an agreed route. Chaperone policies available.
  • Corporate dinner: 3 hours point-to-point with a short Strip tour afterward; often prefers executive Sprinter seating.
  • Airport arrival: Flat-rate transfer in a stretch limo or Sprinter with curbside coordination; add luggage assistance.
  • Wedding day: Ceremony shuttle + bridal party photos + reception arrival—often 4–6 hours; some couples add a late-night getaway car.

 

Tips to Get the Best Deal (Without Sacrificing Quality)

  • Book midweek if possible. Tuesdays–Thursdays are friendliest on rates.
  • Reserve early for peak weekends. Lock in your vehicle during high-demand months and major events.
  • Choose the right capacity. Don’t pay for empty seats, but avoid overfilling—a comfortable fit makes the night.
  • Bundle smart. A 4–6 hour bundle often costs less per hour than piecemeal transfers.
  • Consolidate pickups. A single meet point saves time (and money) versus criss-crossing the valley.
  • Confirm what’s included. Ask whether gratuity, fuel surcharge, and taxes are included to avoid “gotchas.”
  • Share the itinerary. A precise schedule helps us recommend the ideal vehicle and right number of hours so you avoid overtime.
  • Mind cleaning rules. Glitter, confetti, heavy food, and smoking can trigger cleaning fees—set expectations with your group.
  • Ask about split shifts. For weddings, a ceremony block plus a later “getaway” can be more cost-effective than keeping a vehicle idle.

FAQs

How much should I tip the chauffeur?

Industry-standard gratuity is 15–20% of the base fare. Some quotes include it; if not, plan to add it.

Can we bring alcohol?

Guests 21+ may bring sealed beverages where permitted by vehicle type and local law. Glass policies vary—ask at booking.

Is pricing per person or per hour?

Limo pricing is per vehicle (hourly or flat-rate transfers), not per person. Larger vehicles may be cheaper per person.

What’s the minimum number of hours?

Two to four hours is common, especially on weekends. Airport transfers and weekday point-to-point trips may be flat-rate.

Do you charge wait time?

Hourly charters include reasonable waiting as part of the booked time. Overtime applies if you exceed your reserved window.

What if my flight is delayed?

Provide your flight number and we’ll track it. Airport parking and waiting policies vary—share your preference (curbside vs. meet-and-greet).

Is a deposit required?

Yes. Deposits secure your vehicle and are applied to your balance. Refund windows depend on date and event type.

Can you do multiple pickups?

Absolutely. Share addresses/timing and we’ll plan an efficient route. For many stops, a Sprinter may be more practical.

How far in advance should I book?

For weekends, 2–4 weeks is smart; for major events, earlier. Weekdays often have more flexibility.

Do you price match?

If you find a comparable vehicle and service level, ask us. We’ll do our best to meet or beat it while maintaining quality.
