Limousine South drives forward

Queenstown-based company Limousine South is taking its business to another level with a smart new look, a new name and expanded operation.

Jeremy and Belinda Crichton have taken thousands of visitors around the South Island over six years of running their luxury limousine company Horizonz
Now the company has re-branded and launched as Limousine South, with an instantly recognisable new logo gracing its versatile modern fleet of limousine sedans, luxury people-movers and small tour coaches.

Limousine South has also risen to the eco-challenge and is putting its green
Mr Crichton said the company was wholeheartedly behind Tourism New Zealand’s push towards environmental sustainability within the tourism industry. Two brand new vehicles will be added to the Limousine South fleet this season which are rated Euro IV, the internationally-recognised emission standard.

“We’re the longest-serving limousine operators in Queenstown and have loved every moment spent turning journeys into experiences for small groups of visitors,” said Mr Crichton.  “Since we took over Horizonz in 2001 the company has grown substantially, so we felt it was time to develop a brand that better describes what we do.”

Mr Crichton said although the name had changed, the company’s commitment to “absolute quality and fantastic service” remained the same, using a long-standing hand-picked team of driver guides.

Mr Crichton has harnessed his multi-linguistic background to develop a niche in foreign language driver-guiding -- although the English service is very much at the forefront, Limousine South has become the largest South Island foreign language company in the sector, offering driver-guides speaking Spanish, French and Portuguese.

Whether the company is providing the road travel component of luxury multi-day tours, or airport and destination transfers, standards remain unvaryingly high.

“We don’t use the word ‘luxury’ lightly,” said Mrs Crichton. “Every aspect of our operation lives up to this promise. Moving people from one place to another in luxury is only part of the Limousine South story -- making sure our clients remember their journey for all the right reasons is something rather different.

“We only employ the very best people and that’s why our driver-guides are so much more than drivers,” she said. “They’re raconteurs, mines of information, problem-solvers, experienced travellers, true Kiwis, entertainers, quiet confidantes, AND respectful chauffeurs.”
