What BBZ Limo Service does

BBZ Limo Service (legal entity: BBZ Limousine & Livery Service, Inc.) is a privately held, family-owned luxury ground transportation company founded in 1869 as Berkemeyer Livery in New Milford, New Jersey, and currently headquartered at 115 Woodbine Street, Bergenfield, NJ. It serves consumers and corporate clients across the New Jersey / New York Tri-State area, including Bergen County and NYC, with routes to five major regional airports (EWR, JFK, LGA, TEB, HPN). The company operates a fleet of 40+ vehicles — executive sedans and SUVs, stretch limousines (6–18 passengers), multiple vintage Rolls-Royce models, Jet Sprinter limousines, party buses (20–45 passengers), shuttle buses, and a 55-passenger motorcoach — maintained in covered indoor facilities.

Services are organized around discrete occasions: weddings (vintage Rolls-Royce for the couple plus stretch limousines for the bridal party), airport transfers with real-time flight tracking, corporate shuttles and executive travel, party bus rentals, prom and school events, bachelor/bachelorette parties, nights out, birthdays, concerts, cruise port transfers, funeral transport, and wine and sightseeing tours. The GTM mix is primarily direct-to-consumer via the website, the Ride BBZ mobile app (iOS/Android), toll-free and local phone reservations, and an in-person showroom — supplemented by enterprise account management for corporate clients and wedding-channel partnerships with The Knot and WeddingWire.

The business model combines usage-based pricing (hourly rentals starting at $200/hr for party buses), transaction-based flat-rate airport transfers, recurring corporate accounts (monthly billing), and event-based wedding packages (3-hour minimum, multi-year contracts for recurring clients). Pricing emphasizes flat-rate airport fees set at booking with no surprises and customized corporate solutions. Revenue stream data is not publicly disclosed. Two acquisitions have been completed: Perfect Limo Service (Aug 10, 2021) and Starlight Limousine (Apr 1, 2022), both retained as acquired brands. Leadership transitioned in 2018 when Jason Messinger assumed ownership from his father-in-law, continuing five generations of family ownership.
