There are many reasons people chose the Excursion Stretch:

wSome of our guest have more than 10 passengers and need the room for the extra bodies.

wMany clients, love the extra headroom the SUV affords.

wSome folks want the latest and nicest limousine on the road .

Whatever your reason, the Excursion offers tremendous luxury at a reasonable price.We could purchase our Excursions from anyone, anywhere. However, when it comes to choosing our late-model limousines we literally go the extra mile. There are several manufacturers in California more than willing to churn another rig off an assembly line but we believe our customers deserve better. Our stretches are built by master craftsmen in America's heartland of Springfield, Mo. where they've been building limousines for more than 60 years. All of our Excursions are manufactured under the strict guidelines of the QVM certification program. This probably doesn't mean much to the layperson but in the limo world it means that Ford has tested the cars and their braking systems and determined the safest possible configuration. The longest QVM stretch Excursion is about 140 inches of extra vehicle. Anything longer exceed what the Ford Motor Corporation says is safe for their passengers. And we believe your safety should never be comprised by cutting a few corners.

The Ford Motor Company also refused to certify Lincoln Navigators prior to the 2004 Model year. If you're considering renting an SUV, be sure to ask about the model year and make. It's also a good idea to ask for proof of insurance.
