How to Make Money as a Limo Driver
Contact your local Department of Motor Vehicles to inquire about what sort of license you'll need to start working as a limo driver in your area. In some states, you'll be able to start driving a limo with just a clean Class C license if you plan to carry less than a certain number of people. In others you'll need a special chauffeur's license. You may need a certain amount of driving experience and training to qualify for a chauffeur's license or complete a test in some states.
Invest in a chauffeur's uniform. You can buy a chauffeur's uniform from a number of sources online or may be able find a specialist retailer near you that could sell you one. Although some limo companies supply uniforms, you'll be a more attractive prospect to potential employers if you have your own. It's also useful to have your own clothes if you plan to branch out on your own once you've gained some experience.
Learn local roads like the back of your hand. Limos are rarely hired out for long journeys, so it's important that you know your way around the town or city you're going to be driving in. Your clients won't want to be directing you to their destination. Also, it looks a little unprofessional to rely on a GPS system.
Brush up on your customer service skills. Although most people expect to be treated in a polite and civil fashion when they're paying to be driven, your customers will be looking for a little more from you than they might from a standard cab driver. Pay attention to opening doors for your clients and addressing them in a respectful manner.
Approach local limo films to inquire about work. Highlight your fully-licensed status in your resume and cover letter and draw attention to other skills and qualities you have that businesses might be looking for in a driver. Include basic arithmetic, knowledge of local roads and a personable nature.
Complete any training offered once you've secured a job. Most limo firms will provide one or two weeks of on-the-job training before you're let loose on paying customers alone, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Start driving and making money.
