A LITTLE HISTORY
The first automobile limousine, built in 1902, was designed so the driver sat outside under a covered compartment. The word limousineis derived from the name of the French region Limousin, because this covered compartment physically resembled the raised hood of the cloak worn by the shepherds there. An alternate etymology has the chauffeur wearing a Limousin-style cloak in the open driver’s compartment, for protection from the weather.
The first “stretch limousine” was created in Fort Smith, Arkansas, around 1928 by a coach company named Armbruster. These cars were primarily used to transport famous “big band” leaders, such as Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman, and their bands and equipment. These early stretch limousines were often called “big band buses”.
In 1916, the Society of Automobile Engineers defined a limousine as: “a closed car seating three to five inside, with driver’s seat outside.” A berline was defined as “a limousine having the driver’s seat entirely inclosed”, while a brougham was defined as “a limousine with no roof over the driver’s seat.”
In German-speaking countries, a Limousine is simply a sedan, while a lengthened-wheelbase car is called Stretch-Limousine.

Great company to work with. It was very easy to book the party bus with Dave. Straight forward, very clear communication. The driver came on time, spotless clean bus, very well maintained, comfortable and good looking interior with great sound system. Professional driver, smooth driving all around San Francisco which is not easy to do.
I will definitely come back and would recommend Urban Limos to all my friends.
Thank you!
I am a senior corporate travel consultant for a large travel agency that has just started working with UrbanBCN Worldwide this year. We are always extremely leery of trying different car service companies, but I am so glad that we tried Urban this year, as they have exceeded my expectations. The service that has been provided is far superior to our previous car service provider at all of our local and international destinations. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you Dave for making my job easier!
Booked them for a trip to Napa for my birthday. Edwin was my driver and he was amazing. Great price and great service!
