If your school puts on a formal homecoming dance each year, try and see if you can get a group of friends together to pay for a limo to transport you to and from the big dance. If you are able to get a group of friends together to rent a limo, here are a few things that you can do to ensure that your group gets the most fun possible out of your limo rental experience. 

#1 Make An Itinerary

When you rent a limo, you generally pay by the hour or pay for an entire evening. To decide the best payment method for you and your friends, you are going to want to sit down and make an itinerary together of where you want to be picked up and where you want the limo to take you. For example, if you want to drive down the main strip just to show off and have some fun, put that in your plans. Or if you want to go get dinner at your favorite joint, head to the dance, and then go out for shakes after the dance ends, put them in your plans.

Mapping out what you want to do will help you determine the best limo package for your group, and it will help keep things on track during the big night. 

#2 Plan For Pictures Ahead Of Time

One of the time honored traditions of going to homecoming is taking pictures with your date and with your group. Arrange to have everyone meet up in a central locations for photographs about an hour before the limo is set to arrive. This will allow time for everyone to show up, even those who tend to run late and will give you enough time to get most of your photos in before the limo arrives. When the limo gets to your location, you can all get in a few last limo-themed shots and set off on your night. This can help reduce the time that you are paying for the limo and ensure that everyone will be together and ready to go when the limo arrives. 

#3 Make A Playlist

Don't expect your limo driver to be up on the latest hits. If you want to rock out to your favorite music along the way with your friends to get in the mood for homecoming, you'll want to make your own playlist. Figure out how much time your group will actually be in the limo by going over your itinerary, and make a playlist that is at least that long with an extra half-hour added on, just in case you end up spending more time in the limo than you planned on. Check with your limo company and see if you can hook-up your phone or MP3 player to the sound system in the limo, or if you need to go the old fashion way and burn a CD to play in the limo. 

Making a playlist will allow you to really set the mood for yourself and your friends as you head off to homecoming 

#4 Bring Along Snacks

Finally, most limo companies have a small fridge in them and/or allow you to bring snacks and drinks along for the ride. Coordinate with your friends and figure out what type of snacks and drinks you would like to enjoy while riding in the limo. Keep in mind that you still have to follow the law when riding in a limo, so no sneaking in booze. However, you can feel like adults riding in a limo by mixing up some mocktails ahead of time to enjoy while you cruise around together in the limo and head off to your homecoming dance.
