We are a total transportation company providing a full range of vehicles, which includes a fleet of 40 cars, limos, buses and vans that allow us to cater to any event. Whether you’re celebrating something special like a wedding or prom, require the transportation of several people for a sporting or corporate event, or simply need to get to the airport, we have the right vehicle for you. We offer limousines, Hummer limos, 24 and 30 passenger limo buses and 35 passenger shuttle buses to accommodate parties and events. We also have SUVs, vans, Cadillac Escalades and Mercedes Sprinter Vans if you require a large vehicle, but not quite a bus.

Excellent Service

Gold Shield Transportation was fantastic for us. They worked very well with our Wedding Coordinator and made sure that we had no worries about the transportation being on time or in the right place. They were perfect for us!

Wedding Shuttle

The 14-passenger van was a perfect size shuttle to take our wedding guests back to the hotel after our wedding!

Perfect Vintage Car Rental

We rented 2 vans and the Vintage Bentley for our wedding and it was all great. The drivers were super friendly and the Bentley made for some awesome wedding photos!

Punctual & Professional

My husband and I hired Gold Shield for our wedding day and it was the best decision! The 30-person party bus picked us & our large wedding party up from our getting-ready location, took us to the ceremony venue and back, and then we had the ‘58 Bentley as our getaway car! Both drivers were very professional, very nice, arrived with more than enough time to spare, and got us all safely where we needed to go. I HIGHLY recommend Gold Shield!

Excellent experience!

We had a great experience using Gold Shield for my wedding. Top level of professionalism and wonderful service. We visited the office to see the vehicles in person and the staff was very patient with our questions. The day of we received emails so we knew the vehicles were on their way, which we thought was a great attention to detail. We utilized a sprinter van for the bridal party, a larger passenger bus for some out of town guests, and a Lincoln sedan for the bride and groom. All of the drivers were very professional, polite, friendly, and outgoing.

Best in Lexington!

Gold shield was exactly what we were looking for! We used them for transportation for guests from the host hotel to the venue as well as the wedding party! We also used their service for a getaway car. Everything ran smoothly and on time!
