Every service, one reservation desk
Chauffeured Transportation Services: Airport, Corporate, Hourly and Group Travel
Tell a coordinator what the day looks like and the right service picks itself.
Most of this work is one of four shapes. A flight at one end, which is an airport transfer, a transfer between two fields, or a private jet shuttle to an FBO. Two addresses and no flight, which is point to point or a long interstate run. A day of stops with the vehicle held between them, which is hourly. Or a date on a calendar, a wedding, a dance, a concert or a conference, where the group decides the vehicle. Each page below says what the service is, what comes with it, and what a coordinator needs to quote it.

The roster
Thirteen ways this fleet gets booked
The service decides how the trip is quoted, not which vehicles turn up: a sedan, an SUV, a Sprinter or a coach can carry any of them. Open a page and it sets out what is included, how the figure is arrived at, which vehicle suits the headcount, and the questions a coordinator will ask before quoting it.
Airport and travel
5 servicesFive services built around a flight, from the airline terminal to a private terminal on the far side of the field.
Chauffeured car
4 servicesThe same uniformed chauffeur sold four ways, because what changes is how long the vehicle is yours.
Occasions
4 servicesDates on a calendar rather than trips on an itinerary, which is why every one of them is written down first.
Booking for a company
When the office books, not the rider
A service page answers the person getting in the car. These four answer the person arranging it for somebody else, which is a different set of questions: who is invoiced, how a standing schedule is held, and what happens when a headcount moves.
Recurring work is set up once with a reservation coordinator and then repeats to the same instructions, so nobody rebuilds the same trip every week.
Where it happens, and in what
The airports, the cities, the runs and the vehicles
A service says what is being booked. These four pages say where it is going and what it arrives in, and every one of them is written from checked figures rather than estimates.
Book the service
Describe the trip and we will name the service.
Give a reservation coordinator the date, the headcount and where the day starts and ends. They name the vehicle and the service it is booked under, and the quote covers the whole vehicle rather than a seat in it.
(217) 523-5466We prefer 72 hours’ notice, but call anytime. Short-notice trips depend on availability.
Questions
What callers ask before they pick a service
Which service do I need?
Work backward from the trip. A flight at one end makes it an airport transfer, two addresses and no flight make it point to point, a day of stops with the car held between them is hourly, and a wedding, a dance or a game is an occasion booking sized to the group rather than to the itinerary. Not sure which one? Describe the trip and a coordinator will name it.
How is the price set?
Executive Transportation quotes every trip by the hour rather than posting a rate card: an hourly rate for the vehicle and chauffeur, with the minimum number of hours stated up front. An airport transfer is quoted the same way, for the hours it takes door to door, and the figure moves with the size of the vehicle, the hour of the pickup and any extra stop you add. A coordinator quotes yours on (217) 523-5466.
How much notice do you need?
We prefer 72 hours’ notice, but call anytime. Short-notice trips depend on availability. A week is better for a wedding, a conference block or anything that needs several vehicles on the same date, because those dates fill first. Dispatch is staffed around the clock, so a late request is answered by a person rather than a form. Send the date and we will tell you what is free.
Do you serve my city?
Almost certainly, because a quote follows the address rather than a zone map. The service area pages are the cities asked for most often, and a pickup at a town with no page of its own is an ordinary booking. Longer interstate work is quoted trip by trip. Check the cities we serve or just call.
Book the ride
Request a quote for any of them
Three things callers say made the difference, whichever service they ended up booking.
One desk books all of it
The same coordinator handles a dawn airport run and a wedding on a Saturday, so nobody is handed between departments.
The vehicle is quoted once
Two riders or thirty-five, the figure follows the vehicle and the hours it is booked for. A group splits one fare instead of buying a seat apiece.
The service can change after you call
Plenty of trips start as one thing and end up another. Four separate runs are often better booked as one continuous block with the vehicle held between them, and a coordinator will say so.
