How to Create an Effective Transportation Plan for Prom Night
For so many people, the idea of prom night sounds like a magical event that will be the talk of the town. It’s the one night when every girl can be a princess and every boy a prince. With all its glitz and glam, the prestige that comes with prom is legendary.
By utilizing the luxury services offered by Bauer’s Intelligent Transportation service, prom night can be less worrisome for parents. It can also be the highlight of the social calendar for teenagers everywhere.
Consider Group Size and Budget
Some prom-goers like to travel and arrive in style on their own, while for others, it is about arriving safely in a group with all of their partners at the same time.
Knowing how many will be expected in the group will help with budgeting. This cost can then be divided amongst the teenagers or parents and guardians. Such costs should be taken care of ahead of time so that there is no panic about paying on the day.
Of course, prom only happens once in a lifetime. Understanding this will help you to decide if a luxury shuttle or a school bus is the best option for transportation.
While a school bus can be decorated for the fun-loving party-goers, a luxury shuttle gives an air of style and class to the more elite homecoming Kings and Queens. Your choice will have an impact on the budget as well, so carefully plan this beforehand.
Coordinate Ahead of Time
Make sure to chat with the group as a whole and plan out things like music playlists, photo-sharing apps, and group messages, including all the parents, for safety.
Be color-coordinated as a group, so no one stands out and everyone can follow the chosen theme. This also makes for fun travelling.
Prom is a special event, and you want to make sure that even the smallest of details are thought of ahead of time. This way, nothing can interfere with the flow of the party.
Having a music playlist ready to go boosts everyone’s mood and gets the party going. Photo apps collect all pictures taken by the group members, so no one needs to worry about trying to send them in group texts later. Even the parents can have access, so that they can share in the fun as well.
You can also set up safety features, like a code word that can be texted if someone is in trouble. Or, you can just share each other’s emergency contacts and medical information should something unthinkable happen.
Set Ground Rules
Make sure that ground rules and curfews are set and everyone is aware of the expectations. These are not meant to prevent you from having fun, but to ensure that everyone is safe and no one is left behind.
When using a chauffeur service, pick-up times are booked ahead of time, so the group needs to be aware of this. The driver will also know how many people to expect; if there are too few or too many, then further actions can be taken.
With local knowledge, the driver can also take a preplanned route to ensure everyone is picked up and dropped off at the right places. The driver will be aware that no changes to this route can be made on the day or without the expressed permission of the parent or guardian.
This route can include the after-party so that everyone can arrive safely and be picked up at a set time in safety as well. By doing so, parents will know that their kids are safe. Also, the teenagers will know that they don’t have to call their parents for a ride home and that they have an exit strategy if needed.
Abiding by the Law
Prom is typically a night where some can rebel. Sometimes, such rebellion can see the inclusion of alcohol and other substances.
A professional driver can ensure that all local and federal laws are adhered to in this case by preventing alcohol consumption in the vehicle, and reporting it if they suspect intoxication.
This measure helps to protect everyone in the vehicle. Of course, safety is always the first concern and steps are taken to preserve it.
Luxury Chauffeur Services
