Eastside Transportation

What Eastside Transportation does

Eastside Transportation is a luxury ground transportation provider headquartered in Greer, South Carolina (Greenville-Spartanburg area), operating as Eastside Transportation, LLC. The company runs what it describes as the largest and most diverse fleet in the Upstate region, spanning luxury sedans, SUVs, transit vans, executive buses (24 and 32-passenger), and stretch limousines. It serves a mix of enterprise and consumer demand — corporate event transportation, recurring business shuttle contracts, weddings, college apartment shuttles, special occasions, and airport transfers — with the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) representing a flagship relationship where Eastside holds exclusive on-airport permitting and operates a baggage-claim kiosk.

The company's technology stack centers on operational tools rather than customer-facing platforms: GPS-based fleet tracking, a real-time flight monitoring system that allows dispatchers to adjust pickup times for delays, a real-time shuttle tracking application for college apartment complexes, and the Mylimobiz third-party online reservation system. Revenue is generated primarily through hourly and per-trip chauffeur services, recurring corporate contracts (Net 30 terms), event reservations with 25% non-refundable deposits, and a $5/day GSP airport park-and-ride offering. Pricing is quote-based, with 4-hour minimums on buses and limousines and tiered cancellation policies.

Eastside transitioned to new ownership in 2024, which has initiated a modernization program including fleet expansion, new vehicles, and digital/software upgrades. The company claims 30+ years of industry experience, holds DOT compliance (DOT #4103189), and was named "Greenville's Best Limousine Company" in 2023. Geographic reach spans the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, and several additional southern states. The business is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, no parent company, and no public revenue figures.
