Helpful Tips

The Kentucky Limousine Association wants Kentucky's residents to have a safe experience when hiring a limousine or bus company to provide transportation.

While Kentucky boasts an impressive number of reliable and reputable limousine and bus companies, you will likely find a number of companies that operate without proper safety inspections, licensing and insurance for the vehicles, and some have chauffeurs that do not even posses a driver's license. You should do proper due diligence when selecting a limousine or bus company – after all, the safety of you, your guests, or your children depend on it.

Other Helpful Tips:

• When considering a company, ask them for their physical address – you should exercise caution if they won't provide it or if they won't let you visit their office to look at a vehicle
  

• Word of mouth reputation – do you know someone that has used the company that you are considering? 
  

• If you are searching for prom service – does the company use a written Student/Parent Prom contract?
  

• If you are requesting pick up from an airport, check to be sure that the company has proper credentials, if necessary.  Louisville International (SDF) and Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky (CVG) require special permits.  You should exercise caution if the company you are considering suggests that you meet a chauffeur in an area away from the designated passenger pick up area.
