HOW A STRETCH NIGHT GETS PLANNED
A sedan can stop almost anywhere. A stretch limousine cannot. Before a stretch booking is confirmed, dispatch looks at the pickup address, the venue’s drop-off rules for that date, and where the car can legally sit between stops. That is the difference between a car waiting at your curb and a car circling six blocks away.
The Chrysler 300C stretch is rated for up to 10 passengers, and that number is real. It is also the maximum, not the comfortable number. Eight adults ride well; ten works when the group is slim, lightly dressed and carrying nothing bigger than a clutch.
Arena and stadium blocks change their drop-off rules by event, and a long car cannot use the compact rideshare queues. Dispatch sets your drop point and your post-show pickup point before the day, and the chauffeur texts you the corner and cross street.
A stretch night usually ends late, and travel between midnight and 5:00 AM carries a $66 surcharge. Certain public holidays carry it too. It appears on the written quote rather than on the card afterwards. Gratuity is not included; 20% is recommended and at your discretion.
ABOUT KAMO LIMO
Most of the calls we take are about getting somewhere. A stretch limousine call is different. The people who ask for one have already decided that the car is part of the evening — the group arrives together, the photos happen at the curb, and nobody is checking a map or looking for parking on Denny.
Kamo Limo has run in Seattle for ten years, with dispatch staffed around the clock and 500+ five-star Google reviews behind it. There is one stretch limousine in the fleet, a Chrysler 300C rated for up to ten passengers, and this page is written about that specific car rather than about limousines in general.
What follows is the part most limo pages skip: what ten passengers feels like once coats and bags are in the equation, where a car this long can and cannot stop in a city built on hills and short blocks, and how the evening is priced. If a stretch is the wrong shape for your group, we will say so and point you at a Suburban, an Escalade or a Sprinter instead.

Kamo Limo’s Seattle stretch limo service uses one vehicle: a Chrysler 300C stretch limousine rated for up to 10 passengers, booked by the hour for prom, concerts, graduations, anniversaries and group dinners. Dispatch is staffed 24 hours, every quote is confirmed in writing, and travel between midnight and 5:00 AM carries a $66 surcharge.
Every figure we give you is an estimate – final price confirmed in writing before you book.
These are the details that decide whether the car suits your night. Where a figure varies between coachbuilt stretches, we say so instead of guessing, and dispatch confirms it for the car assigned to your date.
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Vehicle | Chrysler 300C stretch limousine |
| Rated capacity | Up to 10 passengers |
| Comfortable capacity | 8 adults. Ten works with light clothing and nothing to carry. |
| Seating layout | Perimeter seating: a bench across the back and benches running along the sides. Apart from the chauffeur’s compartment, nothing in the car faces forward. |
| Boarding | Everyone loads and unloads from the curb side. The step-in is low and deep, so it is a drop down into the seat rather than a step up. |
| Length | Long enough that it changes how the night is planned. We do not publish a figure for our car, because stretch builds differ. If a venue, garage or private drive posts a vehicle-length limit, give dispatch the number and we will check it against the car before you book. |
| Height | Lower than the SUVs in our fleet. Height is rarely what keeps a stretch out of a downtown garage — ramp geometry and turning circles are. |
| Luggage | Minimal. The stretched section sits where useful trunk volume would be. Plan for clutches, small bags and phones. There is no rear cargo bay and no overhead storage. |
| Interior | Leather perimeter seating with a partition between the chauffeur and the rear compartment. Other fittings differ between stretch builds — ask dispatch to confirm what is in the car assigned to your date before you book. |
| Best for | Prom, concert and arena nights, graduations, anniversaries, group dinners |
| How it is sold | Hourly, with a minimum. See Seattle hourly limo rates. |
A stretch limousine does not have ten separate seats. It has one continuous cushion running around the inside of the car, and capacity is measured in hip width along that cushion. That is why the honest answer changes with the group.
Ten fits when the passengers are teenagers or slim adults, everybody stays seated, and nobody brings anything. Ten stops fitting the moment you add winter coats — which in Seattle covers most evening events from October through April — or floor-length dresses, or two people over six feet who need to angle their legs into the middle of the car. Nobody in the back faces forward, so long legs go sideways into someone else’s space.
The stretch is what its name says: a standard sedan cut in half with a section added. That section sits where trunk volume would otherwise be useful, and what is left is shallow. Handbags, clutches, a camera, a garment bag laid flat — fine. Ten people’s overnight bags, sports gear or airline luggage — no. Groups moving with real luggage belong in an SUV or the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
People assume a limousine is too tall for parking structures. It is the opposite — the car sits lower than an Escalade. What stops it is geometry: long overhangs ground out on the steep ramp transitions in downtown garages, and the helix turns above the entry level are cut for ordinary cars. So the stretch does not park in the garage under your building. It loads at the curb.
Around Climate Pledge Arena the points that work for a long car have been the Mercer Street zone by McCaw Hall, the Republican Street and Warren Avenue N corner, and the Broad Street side near the Space Needle for post-show. 1st Ave N is not one of them. The arena publishes a transportation plan that moves by event, so dispatch reads the plan for your date rather than working from last season’s. We do not put a car this long into a queue built for compact rideshare vehicles — it blocks the lane and it never moves.
What we do instead: agree the drop point and the post-show pickup point before your date, and have the chauffeur text you the corner and cross street before the show ends. Same principle at Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park on game nights, where the car stages a few blocks out and comes in when you are on the sidewalk rather than sitting in the exit crush.
A stretch cannot sit outside a restaurant on Pike, in Belltown or on Ballard Avenue for two hours. It drops at the door, stages somewhere legal nearby, and returns when you text the chauffeur. You do not need to guess your finish time to the minute — you need to tell us the shape of the evening so the car is close by rather than across town.
A sedan transfer is priced point to point, because the car drops you and leaves. A stretch is priced by the hour, because it is held for your group all evening — including the two and a half hours you are inside the arena. The clock does not stop when you get out.
Three things move the number: how many continuous hours you need, the date itself, and whether the night runs past midnight. A minimum number of hours applies, and the minimum that applies to your date comes back with your written quote. The rates live on the hourly rates page rather than here, and any figure quoted is an estimate – final price confirmed in writing before you book.
The usual shape: a parent books, the students ride, and there is a photo stop before dinner. Kerry Park and Gas Works Park are the two most requested, and both work for a long car if the group is ready when it arrives. Book in March or early April for a May date — Friday and Saturday evenings in prom season are the first to go, and there is one stretch in the fleet.
The detail nobody warns you about is the end of the night. Ten students rarely live in one neighborhood, and dropping at ten separate addresses across Ballard, Magnolia and West Seattle can add well over an hour with the clock running. Pick two or three cluster addresses — one parent’s house per area — and give them to dispatch when you book.
Climate Pledge Arena, WaMu Theater, the Paramount, Benaroya Hall, Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park. The car takes the whole group in, waits through the show, and collects at a corner agreed in advance rather than in the post-event scrum. If you are eating first, dinner in Belltown or Lower Queen Anne works best, because the car is not crossing downtown twice.
Ceremony transport for families — UW, Seattle U, Seattle Pacific, Seattle Center venues. One car, one arrival, no relatives circling for parking. One honest caution: the step-in on a stretch is low and deep, which is awkward for grandparents or anyone with a knee or hip issue. If that is your group, an SUV is easier to get in and out of, and we will tell you so.
Two people and a long car is not a waste — it is the point. A typical booking is a slow run along the waterfront, a stop at Kerry Park for the skyline, dinner downtown, and home whenever you are ready. Because it is booked hourly, the evening does not have to be timed to the minute.
Eight or ten people who want to arrive together and none of whom want to be the designated driver. Capitol Hill, Pike/Pine, Ballard Avenue, the waterfront. One car, one bill, and nobody negotiating parking on a wet Friday.
Birthdays and weddings use the same car and are planned differently — see birthday limo hire and wedding limousine service.
Three real-world shapes for a booking. Times are a planning template, not a fixed schedule — you give us the anchor points and we build around them. The hours drive the number, and that number is an estimate – final price confirmed in writing before you book.
| Time | Leg | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 5:00 PM | Pickup at the host house | Loading ten people takes longer than anyone expects, so the first leg carries the slack |
| 5:30 PM | Photo stop, Kerry Park | The group is on the ground; the car stages a block away |
| 6:15 PM | Dinner downtown | Drop at the door, car stages nearby |
| 8:00 PM | Drop at the venue | Curbside on the street side, not the loading bay |
| 10:30 PM | Pickup at the venue | Corner and cross street texted to the group contact in advance |
| 11:00 PM | Two cluster drop-offs | Addresses given at booking, not decided in the car |
| Time | Leg | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 5:30 PM | Pickup on the Eastside | Allow for the 520 or I-90 crossing at that hour |
| 6:15 PM | Dinner in Belltown | Chosen to sit close to the arena, so the next leg is short |
| 7:15 PM | Drop at the arena zone | Mercer Street or Republican and Warren, confirmed against the transportation plan for your event |
| 10:45 PM | Pickup near the Space Needle | Broad Street side; the car is staged, not queued |
| 11:45 PM | Home | If the night slips past midnight the $66 surcharge applies, and it is on the quote already |
| Time | Leg | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 6:00 PM | Pickup at home | Steep driveway? We load at the nearest flat point |
| 6:20 PM | Waterfront and Kerry Park | A slow loop rather than a direct run |
| 7:00 PM | Dinner downtown | Car stages and returns on your text |
| 9:45 PM | Home | No fixed end time; the hourly booking absorbs a long dessert |
The rear compartment and its perimeter seating, curbside loading downtown, and the Seattle Center approach on an event night — so you can see the shape of the car before you commit to it. Interior fittings differ between stretch builds, so ask dispatch to confirm what is in the car assigned to your date.
THE POWER OF KAMO LIMO
Climate Pledge Arena, Lumen Field, T-Mobile Park, WaMu Theater, the Paramount, Benaroya Hall, downtown and waterfront restaurants, Capitol Hill, Belltown, Queen Anne, Ballard, Fremont, Magnolia, West Seattle, and out to the Eastside.
Quoted before you book and confirmed in writing. What we quote is what you pay, barring changes you ask for on the day.
Every booking is matched to your flight number and monitored from three hours out, so a delay moves the car, not your fare.
Red-eye landings and 5am departures are normal here. Someone always answers.
The Chrysler 300C stretch is rated for up to 10 passengers, and eight is the number we would call comfortable. Seating runs around the perimeter of the car as one continuous cushion, so capacity depends on the group rather than on a seat count. Ten adults in winter coats, or a group with several tall passengers, will feel tight. Ten teenagers in prom clothes carrying nothing is fine. Tell us the real make-up of the group when you book and we will give you a straight answer.
A Chrysler 300C stretch limousine, rated for up to 10 passengers. It is the only stretch in our fleet, so when you book a stretch with us you know exactly which car is coming, and a busy Saturday either has it free or it does not. The rest of the fleet is sedans — Mercedes-Benz S560, Cadillac XTS, Lexus LS, Lincoln Continental — SUVs including the Chevrolet Suburban, Cadillac Escalade and GMC Yukon, and a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter high-roof van for up to 14 passengers.
We do not publish a flat figure for the stretch, because it is priced by the hour with a minimum rather than per trip — the car is held for your group all evening instead of dropping you and leaving. The rate structure is on our hourly rates page, and any number we give you before booking is an estimate – final price confirmed in writing before you book. Two published items to factor in: travel between midnight and 5:00 AM and certain public holidays carry a $66 surcharge, and gratuity is not included, with 20% recommended and at your discretion.
Yes. Hourly bookings carry a minimum number of hours, and the minimum that applies to your date and vehicle comes back with your written quote. The reason is simple: the stretch is held for one group for a whole evening, including the hours you spend inside a restaurant or an arena, so it cannot be turned over between jobs the way a sedan transfer can. Call dispatch on (206) 333-9605 at any hour if you want to sanity-check the shape of your night before you request a quote.
Yes, but not on 1st Ave N. The points that work for a car this long have been the Mercer Street zone near McCaw Hall, the Republican Street and Warren Avenue N corner, and the Broad Street side by the Space Needle after a show. The arena publishes a transportation plan that changes by event, so dispatch checks it for your date, agrees your exact corner in advance, and the chauffeur texts it to you before the show ends.
Usually, with planning. Height is rarely the issue; length is. Narrow residential streets in Capitol Hill, Ballard and Fremont are drivable but often leave no room to turn around, so we route through the block rather than reversing out. Steep driveways in Queen Anne, Magnolia and West Seattle will scrape a long car, so we load at the bottom of the drive or the nearest flat cross street and the chauffeur walks up. Tell us if your address is steep, narrow or has a blind corner and we will plan it before the day.
For a May prom, book in March or early April. Friday and Saturday evenings in prom season are the first dates to fill, and there is one stretch in the fleet, so a given date either exists or it does not. Concert and graduation weekends behave the same way. If your date is fixed, request a quote now and hold it — you can refine the itinerary later. Dispatch is staffed 24 hours if you would rather sort it out by phone.
Yes. The parent who books is the account contact, receives the written confirmation and the chauffeur’s details, and can be called during the evening; the students are the passengers. What we ask from the booking parent is the pickup address, the venue, the expected finish time, and — most importantly — the drop-off plan for the end of the night. Two or three cluster addresses work far better than ten individual ones, which can add well over an hour of billed time.
It can, but it is the single biggest cost driver on a prom or group night. Ten drop-offs spread across Ballard, Magnolia and West Seattle is an extra hour or more on a car that bills by the hour, and it puts the last passengers home long after the first. The efficient version is two or three cluster stops, one house per neighborhood, with parents collecting from there.
Almost none. The stretched section sits where useful trunk volume would be, leaving a shallow trunk. Plan for clutches, small bags, a camera, or a garment bag laid flat. There is no rear cargo bay and no overhead storage, and bags on the cabin floor eat into legroom you already do not have with ten aboard. If your group is moving with real luggage, a Chevrolet Suburban, Cadillac Escalade or the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is the right vehicle instead.
It is a published surcharge that applies to travel between midnight and 5:00 AM, and to certain public holidays. Most stretch bookings hit it, because a concert that ends at 10:30 followed by a late dinner rarely finishes before midnight. We would rather it appeared on your written quote than as a surprise afterwards, so give us a realistic end time rather than an optimistic one when you request pricing.
No. Gratuity is not included in the quoted fare. Twenty percent is the customary recommendation and it is entirely at your discretion — it is not added automatically and there is no obligation. If you would rather it was built into a single payment so nobody is settling up on the sidewalk at midnight, say so when you confirm and we will handle it that way.
Yes. Military personnel receive 5% off base fares of $75 or more. It applies to the base fare rather than to surcharges or gratuity. Mention it when you request your quote so it is applied before the written confirmation goes out, rather than being adjusted afterwards.
Then a stretch is the wrong vehicle, and squeezing an eleventh person in is not something we will offer. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter high-roof van is rated for up to 14 passengers, has standing headroom and takes real luggage, which is where larger groups usually end up. Some groups book the stretch for the core party and a Suburban or Escalade alongside it. Tell dispatch the true headcount and we will price both shapes so you can compare.
Send the date, the headcount, where you are starting, where you are going and roughly when you expect to finish. You get a written quote back with the hours, the surcharge position, and anything about your addresses or your venue that we think you should know before you commit. If the stretch is the wrong car for your group, we will say so and quote the right one. Dispatch is staffed 24 hours on (206) 333-9605.
