When raising teenagers, many parents have to deal with a common dilemma. Usually, teenagers will split the expense with a group of friends when renting luxury vehicles from limo services. Since there is an adult chauffeur, they believe they are responsible enough to handle the responsibilities of a night out on their own. In order to get this opportunity, they must convince their parents that they are responsible enough and that the money is worth spending.
Having trouble convincing yourself that your teen needs a limousine service to get to the school dance or to a special event across town is nothing new for parents of teens. There is a great deal of anxiety among many parents about the problems that their kids may get into while roaming around in a limo service without parental supervision.
You don’t have to say no to your child in order to solve the problem:
1. Find out if the kids are willing to ride in the limo with one adult. It is not necessary for these adults to attend the dance or whatever social event they are attending, but they will be inside the limo to ensure all goes smoothly. It depends on your teen’s age whether you need to watch them in a limo. It would be best to check your policy.
2. Get in touch with the limo service and the driver who will pick up your teens. The driver should be instructed to only go to the destinations you have provided on a list, and no other places. Make sure they are aware of the ages of the passengers. Your limo service is not responsible for babysitting your children, and they do not want to be held liable for anything that may happen. However, ensure that they know where your children are allowed to ride in the limo.
3. Discuss with your child the importance of responsible behavior inside a limo. Teenagers who are old enough to take limos to a school dance or other social event should have an understanding of what responsibility means and how they should behave inside one. You should question whether they are mature enough to go along for the ride if they don’t seem to be taking it seriously.
For senior proms and other special events, teenagers often hire limousine services, but they don’t often go along with their dates. Young couples traveling alone in a limousine dressed for a big night have too many opportunities and temptations. Traveling in groups is preferred by most parents, so their teens don’t have the opportunity to exhibit behaviors that might be regretted later in life.
