The chauffeured Cadillac Escalade ESV
The full-length body, because the extra length sits behind the third row and that is where a week of luggage goes.
Two of them, one Premium Luxury and one Sport. Same body, same cabin, same service level, different finish.

Maximum seating requires one passenger in the front seat. The second row slides, which is what gives the third row its legroom. It is the reason the VIP and VVIP tiers seat five rather than six: the bench is what makes six possible, and the bench is the thing the other two tiers give up on purpose.
Luggage, which is why the ESV
More with soft-sided bags, fewer with hard cases that do not give. Golf travel bags take more room than their dimensions suggest, though golfers tend to know that already. Tell us what you are actually carrying and we will tell you what fits.
With two passengers we fold the third row down, which roughly doubles what fits. Worth mentioning when you book, because it changes the answer.
It is the reason this is the vehicle for a cruise transfer or a golf foursome, and the reason we do not run the shorter Escalade at all.
A first in Wisconsin
Our first Escalade was the first 2023 Cadillac Escalade activated for livery use in Wisconsin. It has since been retired and sold to another business, and newer models have taken its place.
A dated fact rather than a current one, in the same way "since 2017" is. The cars described above are the ones running now.
Questions people ask
Is this the long one or the short one?
The ESV, which is the full-length body. The full-length ESV, for the cargo room. We do not run the shorter Escalade. Two of them, one Premium Luxury and one Sport. The extra length is behind the third row, which is where the luggage goes, and it is the whole reason we run it.
How many passengers?
Up to 6 in the Escalade ESV and up to 7 in the Chevrolet Suburban, in both cases with one passenger in the front seat. Behind the chauffeur it is 5 and 6. The rear figure is what each tier is sold on: the bench seats six and the captain's chairs seat five, which is the trade that buys third-row legroom. The front passenger seat is there on top of that when a group would rather stay in one vehicle than split across two.
How much luggage?
Six large suitcases at standard checked size, or the equivalent. With two passengers we fold the third row down, which roughly doubles what fits. Worth mentioning when you book, because it changes the answer.
What is the difference between the two?
Trim. One is the Premium Luxury and the other is the Sport, which differ in finish rather than in anything you would feel from the back seat. Both are the same body, the same cabin layout and the same service level.
Can I request this specific vehicle?
Book the VVIP SUV service level and that is what comes. The three levels and what separates them are compared on the fleet page.
Do you run anything other than SUVs?
We only operate SUVs. No stretch limousines, no party buses, no motor coaches, no sedans. Partner operators cover those where a booking needs them.

Four golfers with travel bags is a different packing problem to four passengers with suitcases, and the answer changes.
