Yes, you're so right! Ones profit margins will be higher with executive shuttle buses like the one you're on. That's what the corporate groups want to keep everyone together and ride in luxury for conventions, dinners, etc. It's less expensive to start with a SUV or Sedan but one must start somewhere. Everyone has a different vision for where they wanna go with their black car business, but the goal should be to maximize profit and that's corporate/contract work with those type of vehicles. Good video 💯
Appreciate it! Partially being obsessed with business and always looking for opportunities, and partially luck. Picking a thing has always been hard, so having someone else see the opportunity in something, and me applying things I learned helped a lot
Hey Allen, great info thanks, Im just trying ti set up in NJ and thinking of starting off with SUV, Even though id love a passenger van as I see how much they charge for van jobs, i currently drive the vans for a limo company so i see the money, Would you recommend going and starting from a van or shall i start suv then expand to van? Thanks
Great Video Allen , How does someone gets the jobs/reservations ? It seems like getting good clients is the hard part . How can someone easily advertise/promote their company/service ?
*I just became a bus owner myself am still in the fase of how do you get work or farm out work am trying to get steady work at the Cruise ports but am stuck on the how to get work stage would you be able to give me some tips on how i can get on work as a private Vender for client*
Definitely can. I'm finally getting back on making videos. I'll make a topic on this.. also feel free to reach out to me directly too instagram.com/_allenyyang/
Insurance is going be near impossible to get for a vehicle over 15pax right off the bat. I recommend reaching out to a insurance broker (who specialize in limo and transportation first) i'm sorry i'm late on this response. There's a lot involved with DOT
There’s a ton of things you can do, but most importantly I would say join your local association, and Facebook groups and learn as much as you can. Do what they do
As an owner-operator in New York. Let me just tell you the approval odds of getting insurance are slim to none unless your willing to pay the ridiculous number they throw at you. In terms of motor coach insurance, it has become a monopoly. Those who are in the industry know exactly who I’m referring too.
Absolutely! Learn as much as you can. Join your local limousine association if you can and get linked up with other operators in your area. And take care of all your basics! Website, socials, marketing, emails. Then go after sales
To add think about the different customers you’re going after and go after them: Affiliates - in general other companies have overflow work and are always looking for reliable operators that can help out Brokers - if you’re just starting out there are a lot of broker platforms. They have poor rates on them, but if you’re just starting out, it can help add filler work while you’re growing your base Retail clients - make sure you have a good website, google maps profile is updated and all your ducks are in a row when it comes to answering your phones and being professional and having your rates. The SEO will take some time but you may be able to start testing with some google ads, I wouldn’t spend a whole lot of money at first because the spend can quickly outpace how much you make, but if you keep in mind some customers you get will buy again will help shift your perspective. Hope that helps👌🏼
I get you are trying to sell your product, but being wrong about sedans and suv's is what you are. You lack truth and facts about sedans and Suv's. You are just doing the 1st thing in selling... Lying about perceived value...

Nailed it 👌🏼 I’ve seen very successful black car businesses with no buses too. There is no wrong answer “for the most part”
I love how young you are , I just graduated high school and it is really inspiring. I would like to know how you began your business
Appreciate it! Partially being obsessed with business and always looking for opportunities, and partially luck. Picking a thing has always been hard, so having someone else see the opportunity in something, and me applying things I learned helped a lot
Your vids are so good, upload more pls!!
Thank you so much for all this information.
Please make a video how you approach business to contract our shuttle so we can make that money baby. lol

Thank you! ❤
Would you recommend starting with a smaller 15-passenger bus? I know insurance and regulations will be cheaper and less of a headache.

Thank you, well done...you're professional.
Appreciate it brother!
How about your auto insurance, how much you pay? I had new travel business I want to learn about it
I have an e250 extended cab. Is that good for party bus? 😊
Get a van.
Great video. I am planning to purchase benz passenger van. Is there any advice for me? and Is there any apps for book a job? :))
I'm sorry for getting back so late! I'll be making a video on this topic. I think a lot of people have this question
Is it profitable to start a tourist bus business in Florida? Do you advise me to start?
I’m not sure about tour companies, they’re a bit different and are based on experiences
I have a xt6. How should I get my chauffeur business going

Cool
Thanks!
You’re talking a lot of good stuff, but you’re not saying about the money that you can make with this talk about the money you can make my boy😏
How do you get your clientele? Is there an app?? Or just words of mouth?
Sorry for the delay. I'll make a video on this. I think a lot of people have this question
@@_allenyangplease make a video on that specific area

Agreed
How do you get work as a owner bus operating how do you get farm out work
Where is a good place to purchase a party bus?
There’s a lot of Facebook groups you can join if you search it. They are hard to find right now though
@@_allenyang your replies are vague and very UNHELPFUL why did you mae this video then if you are so discouraging?
do you run as s corp or llc if you are affiliating?
I think LLC is easier overall, but mainly after having a corporation you need insurance
@@_allenyang thanks for the info
I run LLC , what is the best auto insurance for travel business
i give up suv is good for me
SUV’s are great
I run LLC
Nice content bro 👍 would you also give some insight to how to get clients at the very beginning of your business startup? TIA

I think both are great. They serve different purposes. This is just what I’ve seen from my experience but could be different in other markets
I'm not ignoring you. I'm just a very busy person. I will get back to you soon. I usually get time in the middle of the nights or mornings.
