What to Look for When Renting Trolleys for your Event?

    Company in Business

    A little research will always save you from trouble. You can start narrowing it down by selecting a few companies of your choice to see how long they have been in business.

    Proper License

    In today's digital age, relevant information is accessible in an instant. You can easily verify whether a company is properly registered and licensed by visiting the Illinois Secretary of State's website and using the Corporation/LLC Search or checking the Certificate of Good Standing.

    Company Reputation and Reviews

    It is crucial to see what the corporate sentiment is and how people feel about the company. This could easily be done by checking the reviews on Facebook, Yelp, Google, and Better Business Bureau or WeddingWire.

    Vehicle Condition/Viewing

    Once you are satisfied with the reputation of the company, you can request an in-person viewing of the vehicle. A red flag is when you are discouraged from visiting the vehicle in person.

    Things to keep in mind for a smooth Transportation

    Seating Capacity

    The seating capacity is important for a comfortable ride. For example, we recommend a 25-person trolley for a group of 20, or a 30-person trolley especially for weddings including the bridal party. There may be extra passengers unforeseeable at the time of reservation.

    Time Management for Itinerary

    Wedding planners or the person in charge often predict the route by consulting Google Maps, omitting actual traffic conditions, loading/unloading time, etc. It is highly recommended to allow extra time for safe transportation. The driver will perform better with a stress-free, time-sensitive itinerary.
