As a large, diverse, and vibrant metropolitan area Miami-Dade County, often referred to as the “Gateway to the Americas,” continues to flourish as a world class destination. It is of utmost importance to provide residents and visitors with for-hire transportation services and facilities that meet their needs and expectations.

Miami-Dade County regulates for-hire limousines on a countywide basis under Article VI, Chapter 31of the County Code.  These regulatory provisions were enacted to create a comprehensive and service-oriented system of unrivaled for-hire limousine service.

Limousines are not equipped with meters and are dispatched from one central business location. Service must be pre-arranged a minimum of one hour in advance of the transportation to be provided. Limousine categories are luxury sedan, stretch, super-stretch, antique, ancient and collectible. The drivers must have a  for-hire chauffeur registration, and the vehicles must  be inspected.

All entities providing limousine service are required to have a for-hire license and each vehicle must have an operating permit.
