limousine

Chauffeur-driven luxury vehicle

A limousine is a large, luxurious automobile, typically with a lengthened body and a partition separating the driver from passengers.

Originally chauffeur-driven cars for the wealthy, limousines now appear at proms, weddings, and airport pickups.

Stretch limos, extended versions seating many passengers, are associated with celebrity excess.

Often shortened to limo: We rented a limo for prom night.
