Top 7 Myths About Limo Transportation

 

Common Misconceptions of the limo industry

The allure of booking limo transportation for special occasions like weddings and proms is a key plot point in many great movies. Who can forget Richard Gere popping out of a limo’s moon roof to woo Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman? Unfortunately, that type of imagery leads many people to have misconceptions about the private transportation industry, similar to mistaken beliefs about Chicago myths.

WSL has provided limo transportation in the Chicago area for more than 50 years. It’s time for us to set the record straight about some common myths.
