Stretch Limousine Rental with a Chauffeur: 8 to 10 Passengers
The vehicle people book when the arrival is part of the occasion.
A classic stretched limousine with leather seating for eight to ten and a uniformed chauffeur holding the door. Wedding parties, couples marking an anniversary, a table on the way to an award dinner and an executive who should be seen arriving all reserve this one.

What it is for
What the stretch limousine is actually for
Four bookings account for most of this vehicle’s calendar. Every one of them is an occasion where the drive is meant to be remembered rather than merely survived.
A wedding party between two venues
Hotel to ceremony, ceremony to reception, on the hours the couple agreed with the photographer, and a dress gets in without being folded.
A night that deserves the vehicle
An anniversary, a milestone birthday or a night out for a group of friends. The limousine waits at the restaurant and nobody has to stay sober to drive home.
An award dinner or a gala arrival
A table of guests collected from one address and delivered to the door together, with one written figure and the return already on the reservation.
An executive arrival that looks like one
A visitor met at the aircraft steps or inside at baggage claim and driven to the meeting in a stretched limousine, because sometimes the arrival is the message.
We prefer 72 hours’ notice, but call anytime. Short-notice trips depend on availability.
Who books it
Who reserves the stretch limousine
Three bookers fill most of these dates, and none of them are solving a transport problem. They are giving an evening, a morning or an arrival its shape.

What a limousine booking actually looks like
The door held, the leather seating, and the part of the reservation no exterior photograph shows: the person driving it, and what they do before anybody sits down.
These frames are the limousine and Executive Transportation chauffeurs at work rather than four views of one vehicle. Trim differs between vehicles in a class, so ask a coordinator what is held for your date.

Where eight to ten riders sit in the fleet
This is the one rung on the ladder chosen for the occasion rather than for the headcount. Everything on either side of it is a working vehicle; this one is booked for the night.
Groups that book it once tend to ask for it by name afterwards. Say the occasion when you call (217) 523-5466 and a coordinator will tell you whether it earns its place.
An eleventh guest is the moment this stops being the right answer: the booking moves to the Sprinter Van for seats and luggage room, or up to the limousine coach if the party would rather stay together in one leather cabin.
Say what the evening is for and the vehicle picks itself before the seat count does.
How it is priced
What a stretch limousine costs, and what sets the hours
Nothing on this site prints a limousine rate, because the limousine and the chauffeur are quoted by the hour and the hours depend on the evening. Three things set them, and the written reply names every one.
The hours the limousine is held for
The vehicle and the chauffeur are quoted at an hourly rate for the whole limousine, with a minimum number of hours stated up front in the written quote. The block starts when the party is collected and covers the waiting at a church, a venue or a restaurant.
The date, and how contested it is
Saturdays in wedding season, dance season and the night of a big dinner are supply questions long before they are pricing ones. A region holds a finite number of these vehicles.
The addresses, and what happens at each one
A run to one venue is a short block of hours. A hotel, a ceremony, a set of photographs and a reception is a longer one. A coordinator builds the hours from the schedule you send, not from the miles inside it.
How an hourly figure is built from the vehicle class and the hours is set out on the car service cost guide, and the group version is on the charter bus cost guide.
Popular runs
The longer runs this vehicle is booked for
Away from the evening work, the limousine goes out on interstate runs where a small group would rather make the drive together. Every card below opens that route’s own page.
Read each drive time as a clear road. The quote is built from the hours the run takes, so a coordinator plans for the traffic the route is known for.
Any address to any field on the airport roster is an ordinary booking, quoted on the hours the run takes door to door, and a venue is quoted the same way a terminal is.
The run home is written on the same reservation as the run out, not arranged afterwards.
Reserve the limousine
Book it for the evening.
Send the date, the headcount and the addresses in order. What comes back names the limousine, the hours it is held with the minimum stated, and one written figure for the whole party.

What riders say
Groups who arrived together
Executive Transportation saved the day after another bus company fell through last minute. Executive Transportation was incredibly responsive and was able to secure us a bus quickly. Our driver Andrew arrived on time and got us safely to and from our event.
Our group of 7 needed a ride from Chicago O’Hare to Springfield. The vehicle was clean and comfortable.
The scheduling process was seamless, and the timely pickup from Bloomington airport made my journey stress-free.
A party that has grown past ten has two ways out: the Sprinter Van if seats and luggage room are the point, or the limousine coach if traveling as one party was.
An evening with guests arriving from several directions is usually an event transportation conversation rather than a single vehicle, because the schedule matters more than the limousine does.
Stretch limousine questions
What parties ask before reserving a stretch limousine
Written for whoever is planning the evening. Collection points live on the city pages.
How many passengers fit in a stretch limousine?
A stretch limousine from Executive Transportation seats 8 to 10 passengers in leather seating, with a uniformed chauffeur on every trip. Above ten the booking moves to a van or a coach, and below eight the limousine simply feels generous.
Compare every class on the fleet page.
What is the difference between a stretch limousine and a Sprinter van?
The occasion, not the headcount. The van carries 14 in forward facing seats with an aisle and room for the luggage, and it suits a group that is traveling. The stretch limousine carries 8 to 10 in leather seating and it is booked for the night itself: a wedding, a dance, a dinner, an arrival.
See the Sprinter Van.
Is there a minimum booking for a stretch limousine?
Yes. The limousine and the chauffeur are quoted by the hour, and a minimum number of hours applies because the vehicle is held for your party and cannot be anywhere else while it waits at a venue. The minimum is stated up front, in the written quote, before anything is committed.
Can I rent a stretch limousine without a driver?
No. Every vehicle Executive Transportation reserves comes with a uniformed chauffeur, and no version of the booking hands over a key. On an evening reservation that matters more than usual, because the chauffeur stays with the limousine between the venues rather than leaving and returning.
Ask a coordinator at (217) 523-5466 what an evening booking looks like.
How much does a stretch limousine cost?
Executive Transportation quotes the limousine rather than publishing a rate. The vehicle and the chauffeur are quoted by the hour, with the minimum stated up front, and the hours follow the date, the boarding time and the addresses in between. One figure covers the whole limousine.
Can we book the limousine for prom or homecoming?
Yes, and that booking has a page of its own because a parent arranges it rather than a rider. The itinerary, the pickup and the return time are agreed with the adult making the reservation, and the chauffeur works to that written schedule for the whole night.
Does it work for a wedding party?
It is the vehicle most often reserved for one. Leather seating for eight to ten means the party rides together between the hotel, the ceremony and the reception, the chauffeur holds the door for the photographs, and the schedule is written before the day instead of agreed in a lobby.

Reserve the stretch limousine
Three things parties mention after the first limousine booking.
The arrival was part of the evening
A stretched limousine pulling up with a chauffeur at the door is the moment the night starts, rather than the hour everybody spent finding somewhere to leave the cars.
Nobody had to stay sober to drive
Including whoever organized it, which is the detail that turns a good idea into a repeat booking.
One figure, agreed in advance
The limousine is quoted by the hour before the date, with the minimum written down, so the party splits a known number instead of arguing over a bill at the end of the night.
