RMA

What RMA does

RMA Worldwide Transportation is a privately held chauffeured ground transportation company headquartered at 12270 Wilkins Avenue, Rockville, Maryland, founded in 1988 by Robert Alexander, who continues to serve as Founder/CEO/President. The company operates a fleet of 375+ vehicles spanning premium sedans (Lincoln Nautilus, Volvo S90, Lincoln Continental), luxury sedans (Lucid Air, Mercedes S580), SUVs (Cadillac Escalade ESV, Ford Expedition MAX, Lincoln Navigator L), limousines, executive vans, luxury minibuses, mini coaches, and Mercedes-Benz Tourrider motor coaches with passenger capacities from 1 to 56. It delivers services across five primary categories — Corporate Transportation, Personal Transportation, Meetings & Events, Shuttles & Contracts, and Global Transportation — covering airport transfers, point-to-point rides, corporate events, weddings, conventions, and recurring shuttle programs across 20+ U.S. cities plus London and Paris. The company runs a dedicated Shuttle Chauffeurs division of approximately 150 employees serving the Baltimore-Washington, D.C. corridor with extensions to Wilmington, DE and Richmond, VA, with named institutional customers including Duke University, UNC-Chapel Hill, NC State, Durham Academy, and Ravenscroft School.

The company is built on the GroundTools reservation platform and GroundWidgets-powered iOS and Android mobile applications, providing online booking, rate quoting, account management, invoicing, and real-time vehicle and chauffeur tracking; in 2024 RMA introduced MeetingPad, a mobile app enabling event organizers to retrieve chauffeur information without phone calls. Recent product additions include the all-electric Lucid Air (2025) and Lincoln Nautilus (2026), positioning the fleet within the premium green transportation segment. Operating technology is augmented by flight monitoring for airport transfers and a recently launched franchise and taxi partnership program ([email protected], [email protected]) targeting expansion markets such as Port Washington, NY.

RMA generates revenue through four streams: (1) per-trip and hourly chauffeured transportation billed at unit prices that vary by vehicle tier, distance, and amenities, with monthly-reviewed fuel surcharges (5–15%) and holiday surcharges (25%); (2) long-term corporate accounts with dedicated account managers and customized invoicing; (3) managed shuttle contracts with government agencies, universities, schools, hospitals, and corporations; and (4) franchise and affiliate licensing fees. Distribution combines a direct enterprise sales motion with self-service web and mobile booking for individual consumers, supplemented by an affiliate network and franchise model in adjacent markets. The company markets across LinkedIn, Instagram, X/Twitter, and Facebook, and was recognized by the Washington Business Journal Book of Lists as a top regional transportation provider.

Direct peers

• Carey International: Carey is the largest and most established premium chauffeured transportation company in the U.S., with global reach and a strong corporate account base. Directly comparable to RMA in service mix (executive sedans, SUVs, vans, motor coaches) and customer segments (corporate road shows, airport transfers, events).
• EmpireCLS Worldwide Chauffeured Services: EmpireCLS is a premium chauffeured transportation operator with a long-standing reputation for luxury service and a national footprint. Closely comparable to RMA in fleet composition (luxury sedans, SUVs, limousines, motor coaches) and target customers (executives, entertainment, corporate events).
• BostonCoach: BostonCoach (now part of The Driver Provider/Coach USA group) is a premium limousine and corporate ground transportation company serving major U.S. metro areas. Comparable to RMA in service categories including airport transfer, executive sedan service, and convention transportation.
• Blacklane: Blacklane is a global professional chauffeur service operating in 50+ countries with city-to-city and airport transfer offerings. Directly comparable to RMA in the international point-to-point and global traveler segment, though it operates as a digitally-native platform versus RMA's owned-fleet model.
• Mears Transportation: Mears is a major U.S. operator of taxi, limo, shuttle, and contract transportation services, with a strong presence in Florida and major tourist destinations. Comparable to RMA's mix of chauffeur service, airport shuttles, and contracted shuttle operations (especially Disney, theme parks, university, and government routes).
• Tristar Worldwide Chauffeur Services: Tristar Worldwide is a U.K./UAE-headquartered premium chauffeured transportation company with operations across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Comparable to RMA in the global ground transportation network positioning (relevant to RMA's London and Paris offices) and corporate/event use cases.

Emerging players

• Allied Universal / Stargate / Hermes (private fleet services): Larger facility services and security companies that operate executive transportation for corporate and government clients. Comparable to RMA in the dedicated corporate account / government transport use case, where RMA's shuttle and contract services compete for similar RFPs.
• Wingz: Wingz is an airport-focused, pre-scheduled ride service with vetted drivers and flat-rate airport pricing. Comparable to RMA's scheduled airport transfer service in target use case, while operating with an app-first, fleet-light model versus RMA's owned chauffeur fleet.

Broad incumbents

• Uber (Uber Black / Uber Comfort): Uber offers premium chauffeur tiers (Uber Black, Uber Comfort) globally through an asset-light platform. While not a traditional fleet operator, Uber is the largest competitive disruption to premium chauffeured transportation broadly, especially for airport and on-demand executive rides where RMA competes.
• Lyft (Lyft Lux / Lyft Black): Lyft offers premium tiers such as Lyft Lux and prior Black SUV products, covering airport and executive travel via an asset-light platform. Comparable in targeting ride-hailing premium segments; the closest broad rideshare competitor to RMA's on-demand chauffeur business in U.S. metros.
