Start your business in Florida
Check the city and county where you will operate. Miami-Dade is one example of a local limousine licensing system; its requirements should not be applied to all of Florida.

Register your business
Review business structures and registration through Sunbiz. Confirm any local business tax receipt or municipal business license for your location.
Confirm your operating permits
Miami-Dade requires limousine vehicle licenses and chauffeur registration. Elsewhere, ask your city or county which permits apply.
Prepare your vehicle and insurance
Check local vehicle, inspection and insurance requirements before buying. Miami-Dade publishes sedan/SUV eligibility and requires inspections and operating decals.
Check airport access
Airport permission is a separate check. Review commercial transportation access with each airport you plan to serve, including Miami or Orlando when relevant.
Prepare for your first bookings
Once you have the required permits and insurance, give customers a clear way to find your company and book with you.
- Set your services, coverage area, prices and cancellation policies.
- Share your booking page with your contacts, hotels and local businesses.
- Ask for reviews after trips and follow up with your customers.
