Finally, an Important Word about Stretch Limousines:

All re-manufactured stretch limousines are made by 3rd party companies that literally cut an existing vehicle in half and weld several feet of addition metal to the vehicle which significantly increases the vehicle's weight.

Before modification, vehicles are required to meet rigorous safety regulations. However after modification, vehicles do not need to prove that they still meet safety criteria standards. The original brake system may still be expected to stop the modified vehicle, despite the substantial additional weight of the modification and the increased number of passengers. There have been numerous fatal accidents with stretch limousines, including the recent horrific accident that killed 20 people in New York in October of 2018.

What's more, the City of Austin requires small limousine services to have a remanufactured stretch limousine in their fleet in order to obtain a license to operate. The vast majority of limousine services in Austin are not large enough to satisfy the exemption for that requirement so they are forced to buy a stretch limousine. Adding to the issue is that demand for stretch limousines has been waning because most of the public now view stretch limousines as gaudy. Instead, clients are now renting Sprinter vans instead.

Because there is little demand for stretch limousines, services that are required to buy stretch limousines usually do not invest much money in them and purchase an old, used rattlebox of a limo just to satisfy the City of Austin's requirement. There isn't much of a market for used limousines and they can easily be purchased on the open market for less than $20k. Overall, these dynamics have created a very dangerous environment for stretch limousine service ... especially in Austin.

If you choose to rent a stretch limousine in Austin, we invite you to be very careful and make sure you know exactly what vehicle the service will be sending you. Ask questions about the model year and number of miles on the vehicle, whether the vehicle's safety features were upgraded at the time of modification, and whether the vehicle's safety features were re-certified. Although you can ask these questions, 99% of the time, the answers with be: "No". So, fair warning. Be careful!

Overall, Austin Private Car Service considers modified stretch vehicles unsafe. Therefore, we do not have those vehicles in our fleet and we do not recommend these vehicles to our clients.
