Who It Is ForWho books protocol and delegation transportation?
The service is booked by the people who carry the programme, usually well before the delegation lands:
- Protocol offices and ministries planning an official visit or a summit attendance.
- Embassies and consulates receiving ministers, officials and guests.
- Summit and congress organisers moving delegations between airport, hotel and venue.
- Companies hosting a board, a chairman or a visiting government party.
What does delegation transport cover?
| Part of the visit | What Limousine Plus provides |
|---|---|
| Airport arrival and departure | Chauffeur-driven vehicles at Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW), timed to the flight and to the protocol team's instructions |
| Hotel, venue and meeting transfers | Vehicles assigned to the delegation, moving to the programme rather than to a meter |
| City programme | Vehicles and chauffeurs kept with the delegation for the day, for meetings, dinners and visits |
| Intercity journeys | Chauffeur-driven travel between cities when the programme leaves Istanbul |
| Other cities in Türkiye | Arranged on request for each programme, as in Antalya for the COP31 Türkiye Leaders' Summit |
Security, escort and route decisions, and access to the airport apron, belong to the host authorities, the airport and the delegation's own teams. Limousine Plus provides the vehicles and the chauffeurs and works to the plan they set.
FleetWhich vehicles are used for a delegation?
A delegation is rarely one car. The vehicle plan is built from the delegation list: the principal's car, cars for the senior members, and vans or a minibus for staff and luggage. Capacities are per vehicle, chauffeur not counted.
| Vehicle | Passengers | Typical use in a delegation | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mercedes S-Class | Up to 3 | Head of delegation and principals | On request |
| Mercedes E-Class | Up to 3 | Senior delegation members | On request |
| Mercedes V-Class Vito | 6 | Delegation staff travelling together | On request |
| Two Mercedes V-Class Vitos | 7–9 | A party too large for one van | On request |
| Mercedes Sprinter VIP | 10–15 | Larger staff groups in one vehicle | On request |

FAQFrequently Asked Questions
What is protocol transportation?
Protocol transportation is the ground transport of a head of state, a minister or an official delegation, run to a programme set by the host and by the visiting delegation's protocol office. It covers chauffeur-driven vehicles assigned to the delegation for the visit, airport arrivals and departures, and transfers between the airport, the hotel and the venue.
Which vehicles do you use for a delegation?
Limousine Plus uses the Mercedes S-Class and E-Class for up to 3 passengers each, the Mercedes V-Class Vito for up to 6 passengers, two V-Class Vitos for 7 to 9 passengers, the Mercedes Sprinter VIP for 10 to 15 passengers and a Mercedes bus for more than 15. The mix is planned from the delegation list and the programme.
Do you provide protocol transportation outside Istanbul?
Limousine Plus is based in Istanbul and serves Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW), city programmes and intercity journeys. Work in other cities is arranged on request for each programme: in November 2026 we delivered protocol transportation in Antalya for the Uzbekistan delegation at the COP31 Türkiye Leaders' Summit.
Can vehicles meet a delegation at the aircraft, on the apron?
Access to the apron is decided and authorised by the airport and the host authorities, and is arranged through the delegation's protocol office, not by the transport company. When that authorisation is in place, vehicles are positioned as the protocol team instructs. Otherwise chauffeurs meet the delegation at the terminal exit agreed with the protocol team.
How much does protocol transportation cost?
Protocol and delegation transportation is quoted on request. The price depends on the vehicles, the number of days, the cities and the programme, so we do not publish a rate for it. Send the dates and the outline programme and you receive a written quote, per vehicle.
How early should we contact you?
Contact us as soon as the dates and cities are known, even if the programme is not final. Vehicles are planned from the outline first; flight details, names and timings can follow and can be changed with the protocol team as the programme changes.
Do you provide security or a police escort?
No. Security, escort and route decisions belong to the host authorities and to the delegation's own security team. Limousine Plus provides the vehicles and the chauffeurs and works to the plan those teams set.
Do you publish details of the visits you work on?
No. We do not publish the routes, timings, hotels or vehicle counts of a visit. Our news item on the COP31 Türkiye Leaders' Summit contains only the statement Limousine Plus made about that work.
