Best Cadillac Cars & SUVs
For Limo Service & Uber Black

Let our Paul Conte Cadillac team guide you to the best Cadillac livery cars for your transportation or business needs.

The Best Cadillac Livery Cars

All Cadillac models are known for their distinctive features and comfortable, yet upscale interiors. However, the following options should top your list as you prepare to drive other passengers around and near New York.

Cadillac Escalade

For drivers wanting extra space to handle groups – such as with the Uber Black SUV program – a Cadillac Escalade is an excellent choice. Enjoy three-row seating, available leather upholstery, a 55-inch diagonal display, and a premium 21-speaker sound system.

Cadillac Escalade ESV

The Cadillac Escalade ESV shares many qualities with the baseline model. But, at a length of 227 inches, you'll have more cargo space to work with, as well as additional third-row legroom. If you need to guarantee enough space for six passengers, this could be the best SUV for limo service.

Cadillac VISTIQ

The vegan leather of the Cadillac VISTIQ makes this all-electric SUV truly comfortable. A perfect fit for the eco-conscious driver wanting to bring modern design to their livery service, the VISTIQ comes with standard massaging front seats for long days, heated second-row seats for cold weather, and a 23-speaker premium sound system.

Cadillac XT5

For a midsize SUV, consider the Cadillac XT5. Rather than focusing on three-row comfort, the well-balanced XT5 prioritizes responsive performance, hands-free features, easy access to a Head-Up Display, and elegant features like illuminating door handles.

Cadillac CT5

Of our Cadillac livery sedans, the CT5 is one of the most versatile. It has 37.9 inches of rear legroom, available semi-aniline leather seating, a premium sound system, and heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats for your long shift.

Cadillac Livery Vehicles for Uber Black

While our Cadillac livery SUVs and sedans are suitable for high-end limo companies, Uber Black is a unique program with its own requirements. You have to follow these guidelines.

• Style: The model must have a black exterior and black leather (or vegan leather) upholstery.
• Age: Your Cadillac must be five years old or younger to qualify.
• Ratings: You must receive a rating of 4.85 or above based on the last 500 trips you've driven.
• Coverage: You must be a professional driver with commercial (not personal) auto insurance.
• Certification: To drive in New York, you need the Luxury Limo Base License from the City Taxi and Limousine Commission. For additional required documentation, please get in touch with Uber Support.

Which models work best for this service? Let's explore some standouts.

Cadillac OPTIQ

When it comes to the best Cadillac livery cars, the Cadillac OPTIQ combines exceptional style with the modernity of an all-electric powertrain. Nearly silent as it glides through the city streets, the easy-to-charge OPTIQ offers Super Cruise™ hands-free technology,¹ a 33-inch front display for intuitive navigation of your software, and an unmistakable exterior style that looks incredible in the Black Raven shade. For more information on charging, please contact our team at Paul Conte Cadillac.

Cadillac Escalade IQ

For the Uber Black SUV program, consider the Escalade IQ. This massive SUV can be configured with an Executive Second Row that provides more legroom, a concert-like-quality sound system, and extra charging features. Backen Black seats with Santorini accents come standard and are carefully quilted with Fjord (chevron) patterns, so all six passengers across three rows receive the same lovingly sculpted design.

Cadillac XT6

The XT6 is an all-gas three-row SUV that comes with two powertrain options: a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder or a 3.6-liter V-6 that complements the busy streets near New York. This midsize model, with a Stellar Black Metallic exterior and Jet Black leather interior, feels homey and welcoming to any of your seven passengers. It's a straightforward choice for the hardworking professional and the perfect middle ground between a two-row XT5 and the larger Escalade.
