First Class Limousine

What First Class Limousine does

First Class Limousine Services SA is a Swiss premium chauffeur-driven ground transportation company headquartered in Le Mont-sur-Lausanne, canton of Vaud, founded in 2004 by Sia Abouzari. The company operates an exclusively Mercedes-Benz fleet — the S-Class Long 4×4, V-Class Extra Long 4×4, and the EQE 4×4 electric — equipped with Wi-Fi, massage business seats, and premium amenities, and provides airport transfers from six Swiss gateways (Geneva, Zurich, Basel, Bern, Payerne, Sion), event transportation, and stand-by driver services on a 24/7 basis.

Its core customer base comprises large corporations, international institutions, diplomatic missions and embassies, and high-net-worth private and tourist clients concentrated in the Lake Geneva / Arc lémanique region, with recurring demand from flagship events including the World Economic Forum in Davos, EBACE, the Geneva Motor Show, Watches & Wonders, and the Caprices and Polaris festivals. Distribution is direct: a custom online booking platform, a 24/7 phone line, and field sales to corporate and institutional accounts. The company also deploys proprietary IT solutions for coordinating large-scale event logistics and on-site managers at multi-vehicle deployments.

Revenue is generated primarily on a per-transaction basis for chauffeur-driven rides, supplemented by professional-services fees for large-scale event transportation coordination. Pricing is quote-based, with vehicle- and duration-tiered rates and special event pricing; the company accepts credit cards, cash, and corporate invoicing for registered accounts. As of the input period the firm operates with a five-person management team plus approximately twelve professional multilingual drivers, holds EcoVadis sustainability certification, and is privately held by its founder with no institutional investors or parent company.
