What Is My Limo or Transportation Business Worth?

Limousine and executive transportation companies that have built corporate account bases remain valuable businesses. The industry has been disrupted by rideshare, but operators focused on corporate, event, and luxury transportation have carved out defensible positions.

Typical Valuation Ranges

Most limo and transportation businesses sell for 2x to 3x SDE.

Factors that push toward the higher end: Corporate accounts with contracted monthly volume, airport transfer contracts, modern fleet (Sprinters, Suburbans, luxury sedans), event and wedding revenue, management team handling dispatch and scheduling.

Factors that push toward the lower end: Owner drives most trips, weekend-only event business, aging fleet, no corporate accounts, rideshare competition pressuring prices, single vehicle operation.

Key Value Drivers

Corporate contracts with law firms, hotels, entertainment companies, and executives provide predictable weekly/monthly revenue. A company with 20+ active corporate accounts has real recurring value.

Fleet condition and diversity — modern vehicles in excellent condition are essential. A mix of sedans, SUVs, Sprinter vans, and party buses serves diverse customer needs.

Airport transfer agreements with hotels, travel agencies, and corporate clients create consistent volume.

How to Increase Your Value

1. Build corporate accounts. Target law firms, entertainment companies, hotels, and corporate travel departments.
2. Maintain your fleet. Clean, modern vehicles in excellent mechanical condition are your brand.
3. Hire professional chauffeurs. Trained, reliable drivers who represent your brand well allow you to step out of the driver's seat.
4. Diversify services. Airport transfers, corporate events, weddings, wine tours, and group transportation capture different customer segments.
5. Invest in booking technology. Online booking, automated dispatch, and CRM systems improve efficiency.
