Did You Know?
What's the fastest-growing segment in group transportation?
Corporate event transportation is the fastest-growing segment, with demand increasing roughly 8% annually. Companies are moving away from reimbursing rideshares and instead booking group vehicles for team outings, retreats, and client entertainment. The "experience economy" trend is driving this shift toward curated group travel.

Did You Know?
Where did the word "limousine" come from?
The term "limousine" originates from the Limousin region of France. Early motor cars had a covered compartment for passengers and an open driver's seat — the driver's hooded cloak resembled those worn by shepherds in Limousin. By the early 1900s, the name stuck for any luxury chauffeured vehicle.
