You do not have to be a star to ride a limousine. But when you've experienced it, you'll know you're a star in your right.
History
The first limousine wasn't like what we can see from Calgary limos today. In 1902, the first engine-powered limo carried its passenger with the driver outside a covered compartment. Since it looked cloaked, the term "limousine" from the French word limousine has been dubbed to this type of automobiles.

In the late twenties, the first stretched limo was manufactured to transport big bands and their instruments. The airport, hotel, and movie industries made it boom in the ‘30s and started to give the feel of stardom, luxury and extravagance to the actors, actresses and other personalities at the time.

A few decades after, limousines of larger seating capacities were built, like the 6-seater limo using the Cadillac chassis. The Lincoln Limo has also been around for decades, among other brands. They’re no longer exclusive to celebrities, politicians, and businessmen, although these personalities are still in love with the best limos.
In Alberta, Canada

Anyone ...
... who has the funds to hire a limo and a driver may do so. In Calgary, limo service has been as widely spread as cabs and car rentals Cochrane Alberta, although not all residents have already given it a try. Most Canadians who have tried touring the city on a stretched coach use this service to arrive fashionably at a wedding, prom or graduation.

#1 Makes Special Events Even More Special
I mean, who wouldn’t? If you would want to add more exciting memories to an unforgettable event or surprises to the last minute, a limo might be the perfect way to do it. Imagine your special someone invites you on a date and picks you up showing himself at your doorway in a limousine. Your eyes (or your jaw) may fall harder than your heart, so better be careful.

#2 …and Ordinary Days Extraordinary
It doesn’t have to have an occasion to ride cab limo. In fact, riding a limo can be an occasion on its own. While there are longer stretch coaches, renting a six-seater limousine might prove to be the best value - that is if you would like to make any day of the week magnificent for you and 5 of your friends.

#3 Comes With A Price
Calgary limos can be very expensive, especially when you compare it to a cab and other car rental rates but it’s worth the price when you weigh the benefits and the overall experience. Most companies charge by the hour or the mileage, and gratuity for the chauffeur, particularly on special occasions.

We highly recommend online limo booking for anyone who would like to try the services out, so you can get a grasp of the look of the limousine before you can make any choice. Also, if the rental company is near your residence, we suggest making an arrangement so you can drop by and see the limo in person.
