1001 Transportation

What 1001 Transportation does

1001 Transportation is a privately held luxury ground transportation and chauffeur service company founded in 2008 by Marcelo Barroso and headquartered in Orlando, Florida. The company operates a fleet of late-model luxury sedans, Cadillac Escalades and Suburban SUVs, and Sprinter vans to provide airport transfers, hourly chauffeur service, hotel and event transfers, theme park and city tours, and corporate/VIP transportation. It serves five primary customer personas—corporate executives, celebrities and public figures, diplomats and government officials, families and individuals, and event VIP guests—with an explicit emphasis on bilingual (Portuguese/English) service that targets Brazilian and Latin American inbound travelers.

The technology stack is modest and largely off-the-shelf: online reservations run through the MyLimobiz booking platform, customer communication is anchored on WhatsApp, and operational tooling includes a real-time flight monitoring system that automatically adjusts pickups for early or delayed flights. The company maintains a presence across 12 major US airports (MCO, MIA, DFW, BOS, ORD, IAH, LAS, LAX, JFK, SFO, IAD, FLL) with owned operations concentrated in the Florida corridor (Orlando, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Port Canaveral) and partner-coverage elsewhere. Marketing relies on the company website, TripAdvisor reviews (132 reviews at a 5.0 rating), and organic social channels including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook.

The revenue model combines per-trip unit pricing (e.g., $295 sedan Orlando to Port Canaveral, $875 SUV Orlando to Fort Lauderdale, $975 XXL SUV Orlando to Miami), hourly chauffeur rentals, and recurring corporate and VIP accounts with travel agency referrals as a B2B channel. The company is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or subsidiaries, and Marcelo Barroso remains actively involved in operations. Revenue, headcount, and fleet size are not publicly disclosed.
