In operation for more than 35 years, Classique Worldwide Transportation has been regarded as Southern California’s premier luxury car and limousine service—an elevated standard in ground transportation defined by discretion and timeless style.
Serving Orange County and beyond, the company delivers seamless, first-class journeys designed to feel as refined as the destinations themselves, echoing a spirit of generational guidance and enduring excellence that makes it especially resonant this Father’s Day season.
President and Founder Kevin Illingworth credits the success of his longtime business to superior customer service.
Although technological advancements may change what the future of transportation looks like, the Air Force vet’s client-centered focus remains at the forefront of how he does business.
“In my book, customer service hasn’t changed. From day one, it’s been important to me, and it’s what I stress to my employees. Client demands are different, but not in terms of delivering on customer service. The memorable moment is always making the experience right, and if you can create that for the customer, I think you have them for a lifetime,” he says.
“As a world-class Ground Transportation Company, Classique Worldwide Transportation will get you to your destination safely with a professionally trained chauffeur. As your safety is our highest priority, we employ only professional, courteous chauffeurs who undergo thorough background checks. They are also trained to provide you with the highest level of first-class hospitality and customer service.”
Their curated collection, including sedans, SUVs, limousines, Sprinter vans, mini coaches, and buses, is designed to meet the expectations of an increasingly discerning clientele.
“Our large fleet of luxury vehicles is also regularly upgraded to ensure that our clients always travel in modern luxury, with the latest amenities, for the utmost in comfort.”
Their vehicles, ranging from 2-passenger sedans to 56-passenger motor coaches, are inspected daily to maintain the highest safety standards.
They evoke understated opulence, with leather seating, advanced entertainment systems, and amenities designed to transform transit into an unmatched experience.
Classique provides top-notch transportation for an array of special events, including corporate functions, groups and conventions, weddings, proms, concerts, birthday celebrations, and airport transfers.
Their airport transportation service offers safe, stress-free transfers across all major local airports and Fixed Base Operators in the Los Angeles, Orange County, Inland Empire, and Northern San Diego areas.
As a fully licensed airport transportation provider, they have the necessary permits to whisk you past security checkpoints.
FAA tracking of all flights ensures on-time pick-ups, whether flights arrive early or late.
Classique also offers curated tours for locals and visitors, including Temecula Wine Tours and an LA Sightseeing Tour.
That attention to experience traces back to Kevin Illingworth’s entry into the luxury transportation industry, which began after a moment of personal frustration with a limo company.
At the time, Kevin was a young man already flexing his business acumen, running his thriving commercial window tinting and stereo installation business.
“I started Classique Worldwide Transportation in the late 1980’s with one limousine. I became interested in the limousine business when I booked a limousine for an evening out, and it never showed up,” he recalls.
“I was surprised by the company’s lack of customer service and can attribute my success in the industry to always putting the customer first.”
Soon after, Classique Worldwide Transportation was born. Over time, it has developed into a company shaped by both family and long-standing relationships.
Alongside his team, Kevin’s business continues to expand. His wife, Cindy, oversees HR, while his son Devan serves as Business Development Manager.
Operations Manager Glenn Gonzales and General Manager Carolyn Kent—who has been with the company for decades—complete a leadership structure defined by loyalty and experience.
Kevin and his team are also anticipating major upcoming events in the area, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Summer Olympics, with plans for Classique to support both global spectacles.
The business also gives back, partnering with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Orange County and the Inland Empire.
“They’re really battling their own battle, but they’re also so appreciative,” Kevin says of Wish recipients and the gratitude they commonly express over riding in one of their elegant limousines.
“Hearing that is one of those things that keep me going, because those kids are just amazing,” he says.
That sense of purpose extends beyond the charity work and into how he reflects on the business as a whole.
“It’s not an easy business, but everything we own, everything we’ve done has been because of Classique. This business put two kids through college. I know people who have ‘escaped,’ but they usually come back. It’s like a bug,” he jokes.
“You know, I consider the people that I’ve met in this industry—customers and partners—to be just as important to me as my own family. What I’ve learned is to surround myself and work with only the best operators in the world. No matter where I go, I know that there’s an affiliate there.”
That philosophy carries through into how he defines the company’s promise to clients.
“With a focus on building lasting relationships with our clients, we take extreme care in the service we provide to you, your family, guests, and colleagues. This is my word.”
