What is a Corporate Account?

Corporate Accounts simplify billing by allowing businesses to make one payment for all services within a given month. Visit their Corporate Sales page of the company to learn how to open an account.

Is your company insured?

Be sure the company meets or exceeds the insurance requirements established by the State Limousine Law and the requirements for approved vendors of the Airport Authority.

Do Luxury Sedan Companies go to Canada?

Most transfers to or from Canada occur without incident, immigration or customs inspection officers occasionally detain passengers. Should a Sedan or van be held for detention and the officer wants the driver to remain with the passenger, their service will automatically switch over to hourly service. In some cases, the drivers are released leaving the passenger at the inspection facility. In this case, the passenger is still responsible for payment of their service.

Both sedan drivers and motor coach drivers are required to ensure each passenger has their proof of citizenship with them prior to the start of our service.
