Prom Limo Chicago: Packages, Venues & Booking Guide

Prom night is one of the most memorable events of high school, and arriving in a limousine makes the experience truly unforgettable. Royal Carriage Limousine provides premium prom limo service throughout Chicago and all surrounding suburbs, offering stretch limousines, party buses, SUVs, and luxury sedans for students celebrating this milestone. With safe, professional chauffeurs and a fleet of stunning vehicles, we help make prom night special for students and give parents peace of mind knowing their teens are in reliable hands.

Chicago area prom season typically runs from late April through mid-June, with most proms held on Friday and Saturday evenings. With hundreds of high schools across the Chicagoland area holding their proms during this narrow window, booking your prom limo early is essential. Royal Carriage recommends reserving your prom night transportation 6 to 8 weeks in advance to guarantee vehicle availability and your preferred pickup time.

Prom Night Timeline and Planning Tips

A typical prom night timeline with Royal Carriage limo service looks like the following. We pick up the first group member at their home between 4 PM and 5 PM. From there we make additional stops to pick up the rest of the group. The group then heads to the pre-prom photo location, which is often a park, forest preserve, or scenic area. Popular photo spots include Cantigny Park in Wheaton, the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve in Darien, the Chicago Riverwalk downtown, Millennium Park at the Bean, and the Naperville Riverwalk.

After photos, the limo heads to the prom venue for the main event, typically arriving between 6 PM and 7 PM. After prom ends, usually between 10 PM and 11 PM, Royal Carriage provides transportation to the after-prom party or event and then safely returns every student to their home.

We recommend a 5 to 6 hour package for most prom nights to comfortably accommodate pickup, photos, the prom itself, and post-prom transportation. Groups planning an extended evening with multiple after-prom stops should consider a 7 to 8 hour package.

Safety First on Prom Night

Parent confidence is our top priority for prom transportation. Every Royal Carriage prom chauffeur is a mature, experienced professional who is commercially licensed, background checked, drug tested, and trained specifically for teen transportation events.

Our strict no-alcohol policy is enforced on every prom vehicle. Chauffeurs are trained to identify and refuse service to anyone under the influence. If alcohol is found on any vehicle, the rental is terminated immediately and parents are contacted.

All prom vehicles are equipped with GPS tracking so our dispatch team knows the exact location of every vehicle at all times. Parents can request real-time updates on their teen's location throughout the evening by calling our dispatch line.

Insurance coverage on all Royal Carriage vehicles includes $5 million in commercial liability, ensuring comprehensive protection for every passenger.

We also offer a parent communication package where parents receive a text notification when their student is picked up, when they arrive at the prom venue, and when they are safely dropped off at the end of the night.

Our Lincoln and Chrysler stretch limos seat 8 to 10 passengers and feature elegant interiors with leather seating, color-changing LED and fiber optic ceiling lights, premium sound systems with Bluetooth and aux connectivity, a cooler stocked with ice, bottled water, and soft drinks, and tinted privacy windows.
