In New Jersey’s fast-paced transportation sector, few names carry the weight of genuine longevity. Express Coach Limousine stands apart—not through marketing campaigns or corporate acquisitions, but through 36 years of consistent operation in one of America’s most demanding markets.
Family Foundation, Proven Results
This family-owned business began in 1989 when 22-year-old Peter Cabrita purchased a single 1982 Cadillac limousine. No investors. No corporate backing. Just determination and a clear vision for professional transportation service.
The Cabrita family approach proved sound. Brother Eddie, father Joe, and wife Maria joined the operation, creating the stable foundation that has carried Express Coach Limousine through multiple recessions, the September 11th crisis, and the Covid era. When businesses folded and competitors disappeared, this Spotswood-based company adapted and survived.
Comprehensive Service Portfolio
Operating from 533 Main Street in Spotswood, Express Coach Limousine maintains a fleet exceeding eighteen vehicles. Their service range reflects New Jersey’s diverse transportation needs:
Limousine Services include stretch limousine service featuring classic options like their 1956 Rolls Royce alongside modern Lincoln MKT crossover limousines. Lincoln Navigator and Expedition SUV limousines handle larger groups requiring premium transport.
Standard Transportation covers essential car service, SUV service, and passenger van service for business and personal travel throughout the state.
Specialized Fleet includes Mercedes Sprinter service, van-limo service, party bus service, and limo bus service for groups requiring mobile entertainment venues.
Market Reality Check
New Jersey transportation companies face unique pressures. High insurance costs, aggressive competition, and demanding customers separate viable operations from weekend ventures. Express Coach Limousine’s 36-year track record speaks to operational competence that survives market downturns.
Their 24-hour airport service operates continuously—no small feat in an industry where reliability determines survival. Corporate accounts depend on punctual arrivals. Wedding parties require flawless execution. Express Coach Limousine delivers both consistently.
The Durability Factor
What distinguishes Express Coach Limousine from competitors is durability. They’ve survived economic cycles that eliminated weaker operations. The 1991 recession. The dot-com crash. September 11th’s impact on travel. The 2008 financial crisis. Covid’s devastating effect on transportation businesses.
Each challenge tested their family owned business model. Each time, they adapted rather than folded.
Professional Standards
Client feedback consistently emphasizes two factors: punctual arrivals and professional drivers. In transportation, these basics separate legitimate operations from unreliable alternatives. Express Coach Limousine’s chauffeurs understand that their performance directly impacts client outcomes—business meetings, flight connections, special events.
This isn’t coincidental. It reflects operational standards maintained across 36 years of service.
New Jersey Transportation Reality
Express Coach Limousine operates in New Jersey’s competitive transportation environment where reputation determines longevity. Their Spotswood headquarters serves central New Jersey’s varied needs—from Newark Airport runs to corporate events in Princeton, from Atlantic City casino trips to New York City transfers.
They’ve built their business on repeat customers and referrals. In transportation, this approach either works or it doesn’t. For Express Coach Limousine, celebrating 36 years of operation, it clearly works.
The company provides car service, SUV service, passenger van service, stretch limousine service, party bus service, limo bus service, Sprinter service, Mercedes Sprinter, and van-limo service across New Jersey and surrounding areas.
For transportation that functions when it matters, Express Coach Limousine represents proven reliability in New Jersey’s demanding market.
