Premiere Transportation Celebrates 35 Years

ALBANY, N.Y. (April 30, 2025) — Premiere Transportation is proud to celebrate 35 years in business, marking more than three decades of trusted service, innovation and steady growth in the transportation industry. Since officially launching on May 1, 1990, the company has grown from a small limousine operator into one of upstate New York's premier providers of executive, group and luxury transportation.

The company's journey began when David Brown acquired Luxury Limousine Service on April 30, 1990, launching operations the following day as Carey Limousine of Albany. From its humble beginnings in a rented garage on Exchange Street in Colonie, Premiere has expanded significantly—both in footprint and services—while staying true to its core values of reliability, professionalism and safety.

In May 2024, Premiere marked a new era of growth with the opening of its Syracuse location, bringing its signature standard of service to Central New York. This expansion reflects the company’s continued drive to meet the needs of business, leisure and institutional clients across the state.

Notable company milestones include:

• 1999–2015: Strategic acquisitions of key local operators, including Express Shuttle (1999), Capital Chauffeur Services (2001), Tri-City Limousine Service (2004), Fairfield Executive Livery (2006), and Diamond Limousine Service (2013)

• 2001: Moved into its current headquarters at 456 N. Pearl St. in Albany, now part of a multi-building campus

• 2012: David Brown became sole owner, guiding the company into a new era and investing in solar energy

• 2015: Launched Safe Care Mobility Services, expanding into the non-emergency medical transportation sector

• 2018: Entered the motor coach market, enhancing capabilities for group and charter services

• May 2024: Opened a full-service Syracuse location, expanding reach throughout Central New York

• April 2025: Acquired NE Shuttle, continuing momentum in regional growth

"We have an insatiable desire to provide our clients with impeccable service," said David Brown, president of Premiere Transportation. "In doing so, Premiere has grown our advancement in technology and customer service, which creates a seamless experience."

Today, Premiere Transportation operates a wide-ranging fleet of luxury sedans, SUVs, limousines, shuttles and motor coaches, offering service for airport travel, corporate needs, special events and more.
