I wouldn't entertain a "one car" operation, what if he gets behind on transports, who picks us up? I'll stick with the major private car services that have commercial insurance, licensing, multiple vehicles. So far, I found personally for us, we use Dave's Airport Transportation as they are made up of former LEO and there are others too. Blue Line Services also former LEO, VIP Transportation, CEO Transportation, Southern Oaks. Hope Premier works out for you.
Where is it required that a taxi service have commercial insurance or even a Florida business license? I can't find any of these requirements. Dave's Airport Transportation doesn't appear to have a Florida business license. If so, what is their business license number, so I can look it up on the official Florida license lookup website, " www.myfloridalicense.com". Whenever a company tells me they have a business license, I use this website to verify it. Note that you can have a registered corporation, but not a business license.

As I understand it, you can purchase a rideshare "rider" to your regular auto insurance policy that will extend your liability coverage to paying passengers.
