How to verify our permit yourself
Step one
Open the California Public Utilities Commission's transportation carrier search. The CPUC is the state agency that licenses and regulates every charter-party passenger carrier operating in California.
Step two
Search by permit number 46320 or by carrier name Black Chauffeur Limo Service LLC. The record returns the permit class, the carrier's registered name and the current status of the authority.
Step three
Compare what the CPUC shows against the table above. The registered carrier name and the permit number should match exactly. Anything that does not match, tell us and we will correct it.
A Class B charter-party permit authorises pre-arranged passenger transportation on a per-trip or hourly basis. That is why our service is booked in advance rather than hailed: we are a prearranged carrier, not a taxi or a rideshare platform. We ask for 12 to 24 hours of notice on most reservations so the correct vehicle and chauffeur are assigned before your pickup window. The permit PDF, our capabilities deck, the charter agreement and the payment authorization form are all collected on the documents and forms page.

Licensing questions we are asked most
- Is The Premium Chauffeur a licensed transportation company?
- The Premium Chauffeur is the chauffeur brand of Black Chauffeur Limo Service LLC, which holds California Public Utilities Commission charter-party carrier permit TCP #46320-B. The licence is held by the operating company; the brand is how that company presents its executive chauffeur service. When you reserve through thepremiumchauffeur.com, the ride is performed under TCP #46320-B.
- How can I verify TCP #46320-B independently?
- Search the California Public Utilities Commission's transportation carrier database for permit number 46320 or for the carrier name Black Chauffeur Limo Service LLC. The CPUC record shows the permit class, its current status and the registered carrier name. We link directly to the CPUC carrier search on this page so you can check it without taking our word for it.
- Why are there two names and two websites?
- Black Chauffeur Limo Service LLC is the licensed carrier and the name on the permit, the insurance certificate and the invoice. The Premium Chauffeur is the brand used for the executive and corporate side of the business. Both names refer to the same company, the same vehicles, the same chauffeurs and the same Sunnyvale address. Nothing is subcontracted to a third party under a different licence.
- What insurance do you carry?
- As a CPUC-regulated charter-party carrier, the company maintains commercial automobile liability coverage at or above the minimum limits the Commission requires for its permit class, along with workers' compensation coverage for its chauffeurs. Corporate travel and procurement teams can request a certificate of insurance naming their entity as certificate holder by emailing blackchauffeurlimo@gmail.com.
- Are your chauffeurs screened and drug-tested?
- Yes. CPUC charter-party carriers are required to enrol drivers in the DMV Employer Pull Notice programme and in a controlled-substance and alcohol testing programme. Our chauffeurs are employees or contracted professionals operating under the company's permit, not app drivers using personal vehicles.
- Can you provide compliance documents for a corporate vendor review?
- Yes. We routinely complete vendor onboarding for Bay Area employers. Email blackchauffeurlimo@gmail.com or call (408) 461-8899 with the forms your procurement team uses, and we will return the TCP permit, certificate of insurance, W-9 and any supplier questionnaire you need.
