Ambassador Limo & Julie's Limo: A ground transportation powerhouse in Tampa Bay

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Ambassador Limousine & Sedan has recently acquired the venerable Julie's Limousine & Sedan, creating Tampa Bay's largest most comprehensive ground transportation fleet.

Having established Ambassador in 2007, Lucci understands all too well what it takes to operate in an economy where all things luxury are often first on the budget chopping block.

That said, Lucci has seemed to carve a niche -- believing that ground transport is much more than just shuttling people from Point A to Point B -- and has earned a solid reputation among business and tourism clients by incorporating hospitality into his business model. Lucci also has an insatiable business appetite. For example, he volunteered for a month at an upscale New York City hotel to analyze best practices that would make Clearwater-based Ambassador the company it is today.

Moreover, he understands branding: He will maintain "Julie's" venerable name as an Ambassador company, and even honor it prices, to make the transaction as seamless as possible for both sets of clients. Lucci's team has modernized the Julie's Location and integrated the two fleets under the same roof in Clearwater. The fleet will boast about 40 vehicles -- from traditional sedans to bus coaches to a 1965 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud -- that will meet the diverse demands of Tampa Bay's (Hillsborough, Pinellas, Sarasota, Manatee & Pasco) corporate travelers, socialites, weddings and high school prom groups. Guests should contact the main office at 727-442-9050 to reserve a vehicle and can call numbers previously used by Julie's Limo or Ambassador Limo as well.
