Limousine
Happy Birthday 80th Patrica
Photographing the 80th of Patrica and family. The colours in the limousine are luminous in the dark interior of the vehicle. Not easy to photograph but definitely heaps of fun. The reflection is captured in the window. I used a Speedlite with the diffuser, this helped soften the light in such a small area.
F6.3 1/125 ISO400 EF24-70mm@33mm
F6.3 1/100 ISO400 EF24-70mm@57mm
F2.8 1/250 ISO1000 EF24-70mm@53mm

The best option is to use external off-camera flash, but I assume from you question that you don't have the equipment.
So first try to push the ISO up as high as you are comfortable with and if this isn't enough (it probably won't be) just use your camera's flash - the light will be horrible but it's better than not having pictures at all.
Just remember the light will be bad, so try to capture exciting, funny or touching moments, don't try to take portraits with your camera's built in flash.
Update: normally I would not recommend the camera's built in flash but we have: 1. low light 2. slow lens 3. no external flash 4. bad high ISO performance 5. no long exposure (because we are in a moving, shaking, car) so there really isn't another viable alternative (except to seriously underexpose and hope you can recover something in post, but I think this is even worse than the popup flash)

Set the "aperture as wide as it'll go"
SET ISO between 400-600
Set shutter speed around or above 1/60
Best of luck :)

Lighting inside a limo?
Andrew Yonda , Jul 02, 2008; 06:06 p.m.
This Saturday I'm going to be riding with the bride and bridesmaids to the church, and then with the happy couple from the church to a park. I'm using a Nikon D300 and I'm assuming I'll want my Tokina 12-24mm f/4. I have an SB-800 flash which I can put on my CB-Digital bracket or maybe just handhold. My main question is, what, in your opinion, is a good way to use flash in this scenario? I'm thinking about angle (bounce off ceiling, floor, front windshield, etc.), flash exposure compensation, f-stop, and ISO. I thought it might look good to try to balance the light inside with the light outside so you don't lose the scenery in the windows. I know I could get something good right now, but maybe, just maybe, with your help, I can get something spectacular!
Thanks! Andrew
I like the stoffen omnibounce tilted at 45 degrees for bounce on my bracket.
Inside the Limo
Unless it is night time and or just plain very dark outside, I would go for high ISO and natural light (perhaps weak fill), blowing out the windows. Shots looking down the length of a limo (with people sitting all along the benches) are difficult to light evenly with a flash, even bouncing--just the couple in the back, OK, but otherwise. As for bouncing, you'd have to bounce against the opaque parts of the limo--bouncing out a window just lets the light out the window--it would be better with darkened windows. I'd aim for the part between the ceiling and side walls. Bouncing off the floor might give that horror movie effect. Some limos have mirror ceilings, which can be used to bounce, but can also throw very specular and harsh light. Also, be sure to drag the shutter if bouncing, if there are neon lights or other colored lights inside. Most brackets are just too tall for inside the limo.
As for f stop, etc.--that all depends on the situation--how much DOF you need, how your flash works, whether it is fill or main, etc.
