Aims to Meet Growing Business Travel Demand in Lowcountry
CHARLESTON, S.C., March 24, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Carolina Limousine & Coach ("CLC"), the leading chauffeured transportation provider in Myrtle Beach, S.C. and Wilmington, N.C., has expanded its operations to include the Charleston, S.C. market. On October 1, 2022, the 16-year-old company established a new office, garage, and vehicle yard in North Charleston, conveniently located near Charleston International Airport. Prior to this official expansion, CLC spent many months serving Charleston's steadily growing chauffeured transport needs from its Myrtle Beach office. Ultimately, Joe Reinhardt, CLC Owner and CEO, and a member of the National Limousine Association Board of Directors, saw the need to establish roots in the Lowcountry. He began by surveying the limousine and bus markets. "There were some capable smaller limo companies in Charleston," Reinhardt explains. "One might be proficient in black car service; another might have a decent party bus package. What Carolina Limo has brought to Charleston is exactly what it lacked: a comprehensive, scalable offering that covers every contingency in the business."
Meeting an Expanding Chauffeured Transportation NeedThis scale and flexibility will not only further Carolina Limo's success but also has the potential to boost the growth of the Charleston region. Already, Charleston has earned the designation as a Top City as well as a top North American "Destination Wedding" hotspot from travel and bridal publications. Charleston Destination Weddings, where dozens of friends and family members come together from distant locations, are prime clientele for chauffeured transportation services; vendors who sometimes struggle to satisfy demand. Meanwhile, an increase in business travel to the area, already underway, also presents a significant opportunity. As Corporate America awakes from its COVID-induced hibernation, there is a desire to return to business as usual. This includes corporate travel such as the company sales meeting. Recently, Charleston, S.C. has been inching up various "Best Of" lists among corporate travel and event planning publications. "For Carolina Limo & Coach as well as the region, capitalizing on this opportunity requires a few key elements," says Reinhardt. "First, you need an attractive destination, which Charleston clearly is. You need robust logistics technology that simplifies event planning and expands its capabilities. And you need a large, comprehensive fleet of modern vehicles to efficiently chauffeur groups of any size in comfort and safety."
A "Duty of Care"
"When it comes to the logistics and the fleet, CLC is second to none," Reinhardt continues. "But there's more to it. You also need something we call a 'Duty of Care.' It's a desire on the part of the management, planners, and chauffeurs to get it right, to sweat the details, and be accountable for our actions. It's been a key component in our success and growth, first in Myrtle Beach, then in Wilmington, and now in Charleston.
"Our message to Corporate America, to Destination Wedding planners, and to any potential transportation client is pretty simple," Reinhardt concludes. "Come to Charleston! When you do, you will find Carolina Limo and Coach uniquely positioned to meet all your chauffeured travel needs."
