What’s the Average Price for a Limousine?

The average price for a limousine is typically $100–$300 per hour for a classic stretch limo, with many markets seeing overall limo rentals commonly falling somewhere around $85–$145/hr on the low-to-mid end (before factors like day/time, vehicle type, and minimum hours). 

Because “limousine” can mean different things (stretch limo vs. chauffeured luxury sedan/SUV), here’s the clearest way to think about “average” pricing:

Average limo prices by type 

1) Classic stretch limousine (6–10 passengers)

  • Common range: $100–$300/hour 

  • Weekend minimums are common; some companies require 4–5 hours

2) Chauffeured luxury sedan (often called “limo service” online)

  • Common range: ~$65–$120/hour (varies by city and provider)

  • Airport transfers are often flat-rate instead of hourly (examples in NYC show set fares for sedans/SUVs). 

3) SUV limousine / high-end specialty vehicles

  • Common range: $150–$300+/hour, and in some markets higher for premium models and peak demand 

4) Party bus / large group vehicles (often cross-shopped with limos)

  • Common range: $150–$400/hour (and can go higher depending on size/market) 

What changes the price the most 

  • Vehicle type & passenger count (sedan vs stretch vs SUV limo vs bus) 

  • Minimum hours (often 3–5 hours for events/weekends) 

  • Day/time & season (Friday/Saturday, prom/wedding season = higher) 

  • Trip style: hourly charter vs point-to-point/airport flat rate 

  • Add-ons & fees: gratuity, tolls, waiting time, extra stops (often excluded from base rate) 

Real-world “average total” examples (what people mean by “average”)

  • Evening stretch limo booking: roughly $424–$950 depending on hours/vehicle 

  • Prom packages: often priced in multi-hour blocks; typical hourly ranges like $75–$150/hr for stretch and $125–$300/hr for SUV limo are commonly cited 

At Luxy Ride, we recommend pricing limo service based on your trip type:

  • Airport transfer (flat rate) for predictable pricing

  • Hourly (for events) when you need multiple stops, waiting, or a dedicated chauffeur

FAQ

Is a limo priced per person or per hour?
Most limo rentals are priced per hour (often with minimum hours), while airport rides are often flat-rate

What’s the cheapest limo option?
A chauffeured luxury sedan (often marketed as “limo service”) is usually the most affordable option compared to stretch/SUV limos. 

Do limo prices include tip and tolls?
Sometimes, but often tolls/gratuity are separate, so it’s smart to confirm what’s included in the quote.
