Prom Tips For High School Gentlemen

[+King Tux Rentals]

Each gentleman should arrange for his tuxedo rental after his date has selected her prom dress. It works much better for the two of them to bring the dress to the tux shop for the purpose of color-matching. Pictures of the dress do not show an accurate representation of its color.

 

What to be aware of, when renting tuxedos. Ask if there are any extra fees imbedded in renting the tuxedos. Most tuxedo rental companies charge a "damage waiver" cost. It is usually about $7.50 and it is SUPPOSED to cover incidental damage. However, minor spills or stains, etc are covered in the rental cleaning costs and any permanent, irrepairable damages are not covered by the damage waiver and the renter would have to pay for the irrepairable damage, anyway. When you pay for something, there should be a corresponding value for that charge. A "damage waiver" is a fee without giving you any value.

King Tux Rentals does not charge a "damage waiver" for that reason.

 

You have a right to know the cost of the entire rental. Be cautious of a salesperson who will not give you a straight answer about the price - the total price. "It depends" is a typical answer by the chain stores because they do not want you to know how much it will cost. Or, they have been trained to give a price for an outdated tuxedo that they keep in stock to use as a "reference price". Any place that says that their tux rentals START at ______ (a really low price) never actually rent a tux at that price.

 

At King Tux Rentals, we have two rental prices and we have no inferior tuxedos. Our rentals include everything, even shoes. A black tuxedo, Super 150s material, your choice of vest, tie, and pocket square color, tux shirt, cufflinks, and shoes -- All for $119.99. About $50 -$70 less than the chain stores! Other than black tuxes or special order tuxes are just $149.99.

 

Be cautious of fake discounts. The big chains offer a "$40 Discount" coupon to prom students, but don't tell you what the reference price is! In other words - $40 off of what price? They raise the tux rental price and discount from THAT price. The rental ends up costing the student (or the parent) around $160- $180 with the fake discount, .
