Below, there are three fun facts about limousines to help you understand the limousine industry better.

The origin of the name limousine

The legend has it that the design of the first ‘stretch limousine’ was inspired by a kind of protecting hood worn by shepherds in the Limousin region of France. Also, it is assumed that the designer or one of the designers of the car was French and named the car Limousine. Even though there is no concrete evidence to support this claim, the story has stuck and most automobile historians now believe this version to be authentic.

The car brand named limousine

Limousine is not the name of a brand of cars but it refers to a group of vehicles that have certain characteristics. A limousine is usually larger than an average car and there is a partition between the driver’s and the passenger’s compartment to give the passenger(s) maximum privacy. These partitions are often soundproof and the passengers may have the option to communicate with the driver via intercom.

Types of limousines

The modern cars that are called limousines can be a stretch SUV, limo bus, motor van or motor coach. However, limousines can be divided into two other broad categories, such as the traditional and exotic. A traditional limo is usually a stretched sedan or saloon car, which has extra legroom for the passengers. Exotic limos are often custom-made, one-of-a-kind limousines with lots of fancy accessories to decorate the interior of the car.
