Royal Carriage Limousine

Royal Carriage Fleet Guide — Choosing the Right Vehicle for Your Trip

One of the most common questions we get: “What vehicle should I book?” The answer depends on group size, occasion, and how much you care about the impression you make. Here’s an honest breakdown of every vehicle in our fleet, who books it, and why.

Black Sedan (Lincoln MKT / Continental)

Best for: Airport runs (1–3 passengers), corporate meetings, solo or couple transportation
Capacity: 3 passengers + luggage
Price range: $55–$125 depending on distance
Who books it: Business travelers, solo airport runs, date nights for two

The sedan is our workhorse. It’s what most airport black car service bookings use. Clean, professional, fits 2 large suitcases in the trunk. No frills — just reliable, on-time transportation. See our airport guide.

Cadillac Escalade ESV

Best for: Executive travel, family airport runs, small group events
Capacity: 6 passengers + luggage
Price range: $85–$165 depending on distance
Who books it: C-suite executives, families with kids, couples wanting more space

The Escalade is our most requested vehicle. Full breakdown in our Escalade spotlight. Corporate clients use it for client pickups because nothing says “we value your time” like a black Escalade at the airport. Also popular for date nights and anniversaries.

Stretch Limousine

Best for: Weddings, proms, birthdays, proposals
Capacity: 8–10 passengers
Price range: $125–$200/hour (3-hour minimum)
Who books it: Brides, prom groups, birthday celebrations, anyone who wants the classic limo experience

The stretch limo is iconic for a reason. It’s the centerpiece of our wedding packages and prom service.

Mercedes Sprinter Van

Best for: Corporate shuttles, group airport transfers, wine tours
Capacity: 12–14 passengers
Price range: $150–$250/hour
Who books it: Corporate event planners, wedding guest shuttles, tour groups

The Sprinter is the smart choice when you need more than an SUV but less than a bus. Full details in our Sprinter guide. Also great for wine tours.

Party Bus

Best for: Bachelor/bachelorette parties, bar crawls, concerts, homecoming, large groups
Capacity: 20–40 passengers
Price range: $175–$400/hour (3-hour minimum)
Who books it: Party organizers, wedding parties, concert groups, prom groups of 15+

The party bus is where the fun starts before you arrive. Bluetooth speakers, LED lighting, and enough room for everyone. Popular for bachelor parties, homecoming, and night out routes.
