transportation recommendations?

does anyone have recommendations on a limo/limo bus company who will do one way transfers instead of having to book a block of like 7 hours?

and...if your venue doesn't have an area to get ready, and the entire bridal party was staying at the same location..how are you arranging transportation? (i'm not sure we want to spend $$$ for two separate limos)

and lastly, did s/o's of the bridal party figure out their own transportation or...?

    We're using Chariots for Hire - mainly because we have a bridal party of like 22 and needed room for all of them, plus the photographer.

    They were very accommodating via phone, and the prices I was quoted over the phone were a bit cheaper than what was online - I'd give them a call just to see.

    Also, we're all getting ready at a hotel and then being taken to the church for the ceremony. We're planning on taking me and the other BMs, moms, etc. over to the church around 3 (for 5 pm ceremony) dropping us off, then going back to get the boys and then dropping them off. Then the limo will wait there until the ceremony is over and take us to the reception (with pictures between the two).
    Oh, I also think Fairfax Limos does not have a time limit. I have that written in my notes from AGES ago, so I'm not sure how true it is anymore, but I guess worth a shot!

    We are using Reston Limo and taking a shuttle (not the limo bus - which was double in cost) We are reserving it for 4 hours (that's the minimum) and it's costing $600.  We are all getting ready at the hotel and the shuttle will pick up the guys and take them to the church, go back to the hotel to pick up the girls/parents, then go back and pick up the guests of the bridal party.  After the ceremony, the shuttle will take all of us to our photo location (bridal party and their guest) then to reception.  I hired a towncar for the parents to take them from the church to the reception and that was a one way transfer of $75.  I have a contact name if you are interested and he'll get back to you same with a quote.

    I'm also looking for transportation recommendations - but for the guests from the church to the hotel, not for the bridal party - it's only 1.8 miles away, but its in January so peeps couldn't walk. I basically have like no money to spend on this - does anyone have any creative ideas that are somewhat classy still to help out with the guests transportation? Would having a bunch of cabs on hand for them but not paying for them be totally tacky? What about getting porters from my dad's work (he manages a few car dealerships) waiting in cars to drive some families - or would that be bad because we wouldn't have enough for anyone? Or what if I put some sort of cute sign or balloons or something at the nearest metro?-tacky or okay? Anything else anyone can think of that is either free or super cheap that will somehow facilitate the guests travel?

    Thanks!
