A study by Visa Credit Company found that the average family will spend $978 dollars on Prom this year.

The Michigan Department of Transportation put out a great YouTube video pointing out great safety features when shopping for a prom limo service. Although not in Illinois, it raises good points.

Here are the main four:

One: do not focus on price. Focus on quality.

Two: Get to know the Limo company — Check company reviews online, find out the owner’s policies, make sure all their vehicles and drivers, pass state requirements for official Chauffeur Licnese.

Three: See current vehicle inspection form and see Chauffeur’s license upon arrival.

Four: Check company’s policy, isnurance and liability for ‘no-shows’ and/or break downs, just in case.

The story also incorporates #SmartLimo as a hashtag to continue this conversation on Social Media. What a cool idea.
