Types of Vehicles

  • Stretch Limousine: 6–10 passengers, classic luxury
  • Party Bus (20–30 passenger): Most popular for groups, standing room, LED lighting, sound system
  • Mini Coach (40+ passenger): Better for large corporate events or big group tours
  • SUV Limo (Escalade/Navigator): Great for airport transfers and smaller VIP groups
