Limousine Service

NAICS 485320 · Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation · SBA size standard: $19 million average annual receipts

Limousine services book private ground transportation for airport transfers, events, business travel and special occasions. For an operator running a fleet of sedans, SUVs and stretch vehicles, the specialists turn inbound requests into confirmed reservations with vehicle type and driver, reservations into daily dispatch schedules and routes, and schedules into billing and maintenance triggers. Vehicle licensing, driver credentials, insurance certificates and DOT logs stay with the owner and fleet manager.
