How we ranked

We compared each company only on what it publishes on its own website, checked November 8, 2026. Where a company does not publish something, we say so rather than guess. The criteria, in order of weight:

  1. Weddings listed — the company states it does weddings or events.
  2. Vehicle choice — a car for the couple and room for guests.
  3. Price transparency — hourly rates and what is included.
  4. Event terms — cancellation and minimums.
  5. Coverage — venues outside the city.

The bottom line

  • For the couple and wedding party, all-in: True North VIP.
  • For moving 20+ guests: Artisan Limo.
  • For a stretch limo: Carmel or Dial 7.
