Do you need a special license to drive a limo? Yes! 

Licensing is where the expertise of a professional National Limo Services chauffeur shines. Driving a limo is nothing like driving a personal vehicle. Limousine driving requires specialized skills, vehicle handling, knowledge and in most cases, a special license. 

  1. Commercial driver’s license (CDL). Depending on the size and passenger capacity, a CDL may be required. This license involves rigorous testing and training to ensure the driver can safely operate large vehicles. 
  2. State and local requirements. Many states and municipalities have specific licensing requirements for limo drivers. The regulations may include background checks, specialized training and endorsements. 
  3. Passenger endorsements. In many cases, a passenger endorsement is required to transport multiple passengers in a vehicle-for-hire. This ensures the drivers are trained in passenger safety and emergency procedures.
