In the United States, the requirements for driving a limousine vary by state. In some states, limousine drivers are required to obtain a commercial driver's license (CDL), while in others they may only need a standard driver's license. However, in most states, limousine drivers are required to be bonded. A surety bond is a type of insurance that protects the limousine company and its customers in the event that the driver causes an accident or damage to property. The bond amount varies by state, but it is typically between $10,000 and $100,000.
In addition to being bonded, limousine drivers are also typically required to have a clean driving record, pass a background check, and complete a training course. The training course covers topics such as safety, customer service, and defensive driving.
