Tennessee Limousine

What Tennessee Limousine does

Tennessee Limousine, operating today as TLS Worldwide Chauffeured Transportation, is a Memphis-headquartered chauffeured ground transportation company founded in 1968 with a single limousine and now operating nationwide in the United States and worldwide via an affiliate network spanning over 400 cities and 55 countries. The company runs a six-category fleet ranging from three-passenger luxury sedans to 56-passenger motor coaches (limousines, luxury sedans, luxury SUVs, executive vans, party buses, and buses) and delivers seven service lines: corporate transportation, airport transportation, meetings and events, weddings, special events, casino transportation, and worldwide transportation. Its technology stack centers on a proprietary GPS-based live vehicle tracking and dispatch platform, a Flight View satellite flight tracking system that informs chauffeurs of early or late arrivals, and a 24/7 online worldwide reservation center that stores passenger profiles, preferences, and corporate policies, with consumer-facing booking handled through JotForm-based online forms and 24/7 phone/email/fax channels.

TLS generates revenue through a hybrid model combining flat-rate point-to-point transfers for major city and airport routes, hourly billing where point-to-point rates do not exist (with a 30-minute minimum portal time each way plus passenger time), and direct-billed corporate accounts with multi-year contracts for convention, trade show, and ongoing executive transportation, augmented by itemized add-on charges (two-way tolls, airport and regulatory fees, fuel surcharge, cell phone fees, optional greeters, holiday surcharges, and a recommended 20% tip). Go-to-market is primarily direct-to-consumer and direct-to-enterprise via phone reservations, online self-service booking, email/fax, corporate account managers, and a website that emphasizes testimonials (including healthcare enterprise customer Smith+Nephew and individual clients). The customer base spans corporate and business travelers (primary segment), wedding clients, airport transfer passengers, special-occasion consumers, casino-goers, and group/charter customers across churches, schools, sports teams, and corporate groups, served both directly in Memphis and globally through the affiliate network under a horizontal segmentation approach.
