Sedan Limousine
The sedan limousine is the most common chauffeured car in the nation.

With lots of legroom, sedan limos are used mostly by business people who transport clients and executives. A sedan limo is a classier alternative to a regular taxi for transportation to and from the airport. These limos are also perfect for indiscreet transportation. They do not draw as much attention as conventional stretch limos and tend to blend into traffic. However, sedan limos are very comfortable and have the feel of a very luxurious car. These limos also provide a large trunk for optimum storing capacity. Newer models are the same, classic vehicle except with modern amenities such as dual rear-seat power points, adjustable rear head restraints, heated rear seats and remote controlled air conditioning and stereo.

The most common stretch limo is the Lincoln and new models can be as elegant as the more expensive versions. Stretch limos seat up to six people comfortably. The three types that exist in the industry today are the six pack, the eight pack and the ten pack.
