7. Ride Without a Worry
For busy individuals looking to kick back while getting from point A to B, a private chauffer might be the way to get r-n-r between appointments. Brett Richardson, owner of Scottsdale-based NY 54 Limousines, has a fleet of stretched rides to please the discriminating passenger and helps clients coordinate jet charters and personal protection services.
“We work with a third-party agency that has guys who have special operations pasts and who specialize in a lot of different areas relating to that,” says Richardson, who also has a background in defense program management. “Whether it be investigative services or personal protection, some of these guys have been to Afghanistan or Iraq on a contract basis for the state department.”
Richardson says the most use of the service comes from high-net worth individuals or visiting dignitaries who need an extra eye along their luxurious rides around town. He also provides limo service for proms and other special events. 480.838.5454, www.ny54limo.com.
