Renee's Limousines

What Renee's Limousines does

Renee's Limousines is a privately held, family-owned luxury ground transportation service founded in 1992 and headquartered at 12813 Industrial Park Blvd in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The company operates a chauffeured transportation business serving the Minneapolis–St. Paul Twin Cities metropolitan area, with a fleet that includes luxury sedans and SUVs, classic and custom-built stretch limousines (Chrysler 300, Cadillac Escalade, Hummer H2), 20-passenger motor coaches and buses, vintage-style trolleys accommodating up to 30 passengers, and party buses. Vehicles are custom-built with additional amenities, housed in a showroom, and detailed after every reservation. Service is delivered by professionally trained chauffeurs who are MN DOT-compliant with annual background, driving-record, and health checks.

The company serves a horizontal mix of customer segments through direct-to-consumer booking (website, phone, walk-in showroom), with no third-party distribution or reseller channels. Primary segments are wedding parties, corporate events and airport transfers, tour groups (brewery, wine, distillery, city sightseeing, holiday light, cocktail safari, gangster, pub crawl, progressive dinner, and cider tours), and special occasions (birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties, proms, graduations, concerts, sporting events). The revenue model is per-booking / hourly charter pricing, with published starting prices such as $470 for holiday light tours (groups up to 8) and $507 for 3-hour all-inclusive city tours.

The business is bootstrapped, with no institutional funding, no parent company, and no acquisitions. It is operated by co-owners Chad and Angelique Peterson (formerly doing business as Renee's Royal Valet), with a workforce of 11–50 employees. The company has accumulated a sustained regional brand presence, winning multiple 'Best Transportation' awards from Minnesota Bride Magazine (2019, 2020, 2022, 2023), MN Meetings + Events Magazine, WeddingWire Couples' Choice, The Knot Best of Weddings, MSP Magazine, and Angie's List, and operates the only showroom-housed fleet in the Twin Cities market.
