Mike's Limousine, based out of Tallahassee, FL, adds 2019 MCI J4500 coach to its impressive 25-vehicle fleet.

Tallahassee, Florida's Mike's Limousine recently added a  2019 MCI J4500.

The MCI J4500, maxing out at a robust 45 feet in length, greets passengers with a spiral staircase while offering leather seats and other upgraded amenities. It outperforms the competition with its added safety features like the automatic braking feature and accompanying ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) option.

Mike Vaughn, founder of Mike's Limousine, believes he'll be able to rely on the luxury coach to get large parties to any destination, especially rigorous terrain such as the Rockies and other mountainous ranges.

Mike's Limousine won Tallahassee Magazine's Best of Tallahassee People's Choice award 12 years in a row as well the Tally Award.

Mike's Limousine was formed in 2000, is the first of its kind in Tallahassee. Initially, the company offered a top-of-the-line stretch limousine and has since expanded to provide everything from sedans, classic, and exotic cars to party and charter buses.

"We started out with a lot of wedding contracts, which is high-end work, and that's the way we've kept it, growing by going with the flow," he said. "Before I knew it, we met all the qualifications for a charter bus company, and it made sense to add larger, 45-foot motorcoaches."

The coach fleet supports a wide array of group and premier clients in Tallahassee and the surrounding Florida counties, traveling throughout the state and to points beyond from Louisiana to South and North Carolina and New York. Vaughn, who often drives for his company, which staffs 48 employees managing everything from wedding parties to cross country transportation, said he wanted this model to provide "the Taj Mahal" to customers.
