The Hippie LimoSeasonal Availability

Because of the need to preserve our classic Samba from the damages of winter weather, the Hippie Limo is only available from April 1st through October 31st. We provide services primarily in the following counties: Denver, Boulder, Broomfield, Adams, Arapahoe, and Jefferson. Other areas are also open to consideration.

Booking

You’ve checked out our Limo Packages & Rates page for weddings, proms, concerts and the like as well as our Beer, Wine & Spirits Tours in Boulder and now you’re ready to book a ride in our vintage Wayback Machine. Advance booking of at least two weeks prior to an engagement is preferred, though it may be possible to accommodate shorter time frames of even just a few days notice. Contact us to find out our availability. Remember, we have a six passenger maximum.

All packages require a $100.00 non-refundable deposit to guarantee availability. Final check payments must be received no less than 10 full business days prior to service (allowing the check time to clear our bank). Cash payments should be made upon arrival at your pick up location prior to service and placed in an envelope bearing the client’s name.

Gratuities are always appreciated but never required or expected.

If you are interested we have an article to help clients get an idea of general limo pricing and services in the Denver and Boulder area so you can see some of the choices you have and how the Hippie Limo stacks up. The article is titled Denver & Boulder Limousine Options, Rates, and Advice for Weddings and Special Occasions – Making the Decision.

An Important Note on Alcohol

Please understand that we cannot serve or allow alcoholic beverages in the Hippie Limo. Having a few drinks before you board or while you are out is more than fine by us, and we certainly like helping those who have indulged themselves to refrain from driving and enjoy their jovial mood. That being said, the Hippie Limo is not a choice for any outings where the primary goal is to be raucously intoxicated. If you and your group are looking for a “party bus” experience, there are several limo services in Denver that can meet your needs.

An Important Note on Safety and Avoiding Damage

The following rules will apply while you are in the Hippie Limo for both the safety of the passengers and the prevention of damage to our Samba. Passengers will be held responsible for any damages:

  • Seatbelts must be worn at all times while the vehicle is in motion or the engine is running
  • Seatbelts for this vehicle are the same as airline seatbelts (which were all that was available in 1965 in Germany) and I will instruct you accordingly in their use
  • No hands, feet, heads, or other parts of a body may be held outside of the sunroof while the vehicle is in motion or the engine is running
  • Passengers should not open the doors from the inside or outside as they are old and prone to breakage unless operated with great care and experience
    • This being said I will show you how to operate the doors in an emergency so you may exit under your own power
  • Passengers should never lean up against the vehicle because of the chance that sharp or protruding metals or plastics may scratch the paint

I will be going over these rules with you and your guests in person before we depart to be sure you are aware of them for your own safety, the requirements of my insurance, and the protection of the vehicle.

**Important Note about PUC Licensing During Our Off Season**

When not in season, the Hippie Limo’s permit with the PUC is “Revoked” because we do not retain the expensive commercial insurance required by the PUC. The PUC has no provision for seasonal operation, so the only status the PUC can assign to us is during our off months is ”Revoked”.
x
The Hippie Limo is out of service from November 2 – March 31, so you will not be able to confirm our legitimate licensing during this time. Please check back during our operational season, which is from April 1 to October 31. Sometimes the PUC takes a bit longer to list our updated status on its site, so you may need to check back every few days after April 1. During our season we carry our operational license with us at all times, so feel free to ask us to see it before you take a ride.
