Access To The Newest Limousines
 

When most people think of limousines, the classic stretch limo comes to mind.  Over the past decade, new limousines have come into service that are becoming mainstream depending on the event where the vehicle will be utilized.

Limousines are becoming more of one of life's necessities than ever before.  Weddings, funerals, proms, and other events may call for a suitable limousine.

Keep in mind, when operating your business, it is up to you whether you're looking to own or lease limousines on-demand.

Whether or not you have the capital, or been approved for the grants included in our guide, it is necessary to offer the latest choices of vehicles.

You also have the choice of just offering the stretch limousine, but that will limit your immediate & long term growth.  Although, you will still earn a considerable amount of money on each outing.

As in any business, you revenue must exceed the expenses to turn a profit.

We recommend new limousine business owners to be able to access or offer the following types of limousines at all times:

Lincoln Navigator Limousine, Hummer Limousine, Cadillac Escalade Limousine, Chrysler 300 Limousine, and of course the standard Stretch limousine.

We show you exactly where you can lease, rent or purchase the newest vehicles at deep industry discounted prices through special limo industry programs.  Most limousine businesses have traditionally purchase their fleets outright, but the problem is, we've found that owning is not always better due to models coming out.  People want the newest vehicles, not 5 year old stock.

And when you own, you will not only incur the cost of acquire the vehicle, but also maintenance costs and interior upgrades to stay up to date with consumer expectations.

Leasing or renting allows you to gain access to the latest vehicles when you receive the call from the client.  After you take the call, simply call your limousine lot, and pick up the vehicle.  That's it.

We will show you exactly what you need to do to secure the lowest rental rates, and maximizing your hourly or daily service fees.  It really is black and white, and we take you by the hand.

 

Event Marketing
 

Event marketing is a term we like to use when advertising opportunities take place at events.  Within our guide, we show you how to network, and advertise your limo services at events that are taking or plan to take place.

Whether it be at a prom, wedding, funeral or other event, our guide shows you the steps you need to capture new clientele by offering coupons, and special packages.

Remember, word of mouth has proven to be one of the most powerful marketing tools for businesses the industrial age began.

Whether you are providing service, or not, you can position yourself at special events so that you find new business without any cost of your own.

You will find a point-by-point breakdown of how our event marketing tactic works to immediately pick up both short & long term clientele which will increase your bottom line profits.

You don't want to miss it!!!

Exclusive Establishments

High End Restaurants, Hotels, 5-star Luxury Condos, Gathering Points
 

The goal of our guide was to make it as simple as possible to start & operate a limousine company.  Exposure, particularly in this business, is the key to success.

Marketing yourself, establishing relationships, and making yourself available on-site at popular, high end restaurants, hotels & gathering points will boost your revenue tremendously.  If you or your driver has spare time, stop by a few hotels and restaurants and ask for the manager.

In many cases, you will be able to offering on-site limousine services at their establishment.  If you can secure on contract, then many more will likely follow as you grow your reputation and word spreads.

This solo marketing method has worked very well for us for the past 20 years, and we have actually created some of the first business forms and agreements in the industry.

You will find everything about this powerful, turnkey marketing method within our guide.
 

Licensure, Town Regulations & Startup Costs

Upon opening and viewing our eBook on how to start a profitable limousine business, you will find all of the pertinent information & resources you need to get licensed, and find out about town regulations so that you will comply, along paying the associated start-up costs "if any".

Remember, all you need is a couple of things to get going and begin operating your own on-call limo service.

Most would-be limousine business drivers have this belief that there is an excessive amount of paperwork, liability, training & documents required.  The fact is, all you have to do is show up at a couple of town offices, fill out the paperwork, and pay a couple of fees.

Startup is easy, and we are one of the only web sites on the Internet that actually take you by the hand, from start to finish, so that you will begin a profitable full, part-time or on call independent or commercial limousine business service.

All resources, tools, links, forms & information is provided within our comprehensive, simple 5-point startup guide.

 

Independent or Commercial Limo Companies

Whether it is your intention to start a one-man independent limousine business service, or a multi-driver Commercial service, you will find everything you need to get started in our turnkey guide. 

If you have never driven a limo before, we suggest starting out slow.  After you are comfortable in the business, and know how to operate a limousine, whichever type of vehicle you choose from, & have the administration "inbound caller" part taken care of, you then can grow.

Our guide is designed to provide you with the key knowledge, tools and resources for you to quickly, in a simple step-by-step formula, manage a one-driver or mass scale limo company.

And, who says you even need to be the actual chauffer?  If you want, you may hire or pay a driver(s) on a commission basis to drive your limousine for you.  Your job will be simply to handle and dispatch the closest driver to the customer that has requested a limousine, manage finances and kick back.  Your net take home will be approximately be up to 70% of whatever the driver earns in a single shift.

Our guide is the only publication that describes how to operate a micro or multi-staffed limo service without requiring you to get behind a wheel.  You will just collect the cash at the end of the night.

We are a group of limousine business drivers & business owners who have a combined experience of over 70 years in the business, and we can honestly say that you will be able to maximize your income potential, working only at a bare minimum, simply by managing your operation in the most efficient manner.

Income Potential

The income potential driving a limousine is astronomical, especially if you know when & what times of the day to make yourself available.

Whether you choose to start a one-person limousine business company, or mass-scale commercial limo service with multiple employees, there are dozens of government grant programs at your disposal that are there for the taking.  All you have to do is download the forms, and wait to receive the start-up public service grant to come in that you NEVER HAVE TO PAY BACK, because it is considered a public investment for the good of the town. Then, just follow our guide.

A SELF OPERATED INDEPENDENT LIMO SERVICE:  If you're looking to own and operate your own on-call one-person limousine business company, you can expect to make up to $100k/year within a two year time frame.  The first year you may only make $30-50k, but the next year you could make up to $100k depending on how you operate your business, and it will only go up from there over time.  Your base "loyal" clientele will provide the foundation for long term revenue growth.

But best of all,  since you are a business owner, you will be able to write nearly all of your expenses off, such as gas, auto maintenance, and fees paid to the city or state.  Government grants have been made available by politicians at every level to ensure your business thrives, regardless of economic condition.

COMMERCIAL LIMOUSINE SERVICE: Now, if you're looking to go for the gold, this is the way to go, but just keep in mind you will need to dedicate yourself to this business.  A multi-staffed commercial limousine business service with 5-10 drivers can generate up to a combined $500k a year based on the most recent statistics and our experience, but will be demanding. 

Your net take-home will be at least $250k/year.  You will simply be in charge of administration, advertising & maintenance of cars.  You, and or someone you hire will take inbound calls from people who need to be picked up, and you will dispatch them over an in-car radio network you will set up.  Your dispatch center can be from your home,  or a small garage.  And, the wonderful thing about starting your own staffed commercial limo service, is that there are a treasure trove of city, state & federal benefits.  The tax-write off's and exemptions are UNBELIEVABLE!!!

 

A No Fluff Limousine Business Startup Guide

 

You won't find any useless or filler content in our guidebook.  If you have done any research at all on the web on the topic of starting a limousine business company, you will know by now that a majority of the sites out there just provide a basic overview on how to get started.  Publications on the topic don't cover the essential real-world knowledge to succeed in the business by minimizing time, and maximizing profits. 

Also, contrary to common belief, a limo driver does not have to work crazy odd hours to make a decent living.    We've always taken the "WORK SMART, NOT HARD" approach to the business.  Let the other limo drivers work long, tedious shifts.  Our formula puts you where you need to be to make the most money in the biz so you don't end up being the driver that doesn't produce!!!

Distinguishing Yourself From The Competition

This section describes the importance of distinguishing yourself from the competition so that your limousine company is called on before the others are.  We developed a crucial list of things you must know to keep your customers coming back to you.

You see, like in any other business, it is vital that you make your customers feel good & comfortable with you.  Nobody likes a cold, negative limo driver.  We show you ways to break the ice, and use tight-lipped conversational techniques to network through your customer as you chauffer them around.

By demonstrating that you actually care about your customer, you will win their trust, confidence and most importantly, LOYALTY!

This section also provides a never before published list of over 100 ways you can advertise for free or at virtually no cost to you in your city that we compiled, which, also by the way can be used to promote any other service-oriented company.  This list of marketing methods & techniques is a must have for new start up businesses that just don't have the money to advertise.

 

 

A Recession Proof Job Opportunity

The limo driver, whether working for a big name limousine company or driving for themselves, rarely ever has to worry about losing his/her job, that's because there will always be a demand for luxury transport.  People are always going to need a ride here and there in style.  Hundreds of dollars can potentially made in a single shift using our limo business startup formula. 

Forget worrying about if the company you work for will lay you off due to slowing economic times.  In this business, you call your own shots, work as often as you want, while making more than the average American worker.
