From LoveToKnow Weddings

SUV Limousine Rental: History

In a culture where everything screams "super-sized," massive SUV limos fit right in. Their impressive size seems to be just what people want. Thanks to the development of sport utility vehicles in the civilian sector, you can now rent an SUV limo for your bachelor or bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner, or wedding itself. With their sharp look, modern appeal, and spacious passenger areas, SUV limos are a hot trend in limo rental.

The trend towards these super size limo rides began explosively gaining popularity just prior to 2000. The release of the larger, more luxurious SUV's like the Ford Excursions, Lincoln Navigators, and Cadillac Escalades spurred coach builders to sell stretch version of these and other SUV's, such as Hummers , for limo rental. Today SUV limos are requested for many different types of events and are extremely popular with younger crowds.
