01Our Story
Why We
Started.
Portland needed a chauffeur service that treated every ride like a private obligation, not a transaction. Rideshare apps brought convenience but stripped away the personal. Taxis offered availability but no consistency. Neither delivered the kind of ground transport that professionals and families could count on trip after trip.
Marquee Chauffeur launched to fill that gap. White-glove ground transport for people who notice the difference between good and precise. The fleet stays small on purpose. Three vehicles mean three vehicles maintained to one standard. Growth happens through reputation, not through adding cars faster than the team can keep them perfect.
02Our Chauffeurs
Vetted Chauffeurs.
Background-Checked Professionals.
Every Marquee chauffeur is a fully vetted professional on our payroll, not an independent contractor. That distinction matters. Direct employment means the company controls training, uniforms, vehicle inspections, and performance standards directly.
Background checks are completed before the first shift. Defensive driving certification is required and renewed on schedule. The uniform is pressed black with no exceptions. Performance reviews happen on a set calendar, not only when a complaint arrives.
Chauffeurs do not discuss clients, destinations, or conversations with anyone outside the dispatch team. The 35-point vehicle inspection before every pickup is their personal responsibility.
Chauffeur hiring standards
Every Marquee chauffeur is hired as a direct employee on payroll, never as a 1099 contractor. The hiring bar includes a seven-year motor vehicle record review, a national criminal background check, a federal drug screening, and verification of an active Oregon CDL or chauffeur permit under Oregon PUC rules. New hires complete a paid ride-along period with a senior chauffeur before taking a solo trip. Dress code is pressed black suit, polished black shoes, white shirt, and dark tie on every shift.
35-point inspection methodology
The 35-point inspection covers exterior (paint, body panels, tire tread depth, wiper condition), interior (upholstery, carpet stains, console cleanliness, amenity restock), mechanical (fluid levels, brake feel, HVAC output, tire pressure), and electronics (climate, audio, charging ports, rear entertainment). A daily pre-trip version runs before every pickup. A deeper weekly version includes an underbody walk and a diagnostic scan. Any failed point in the mechanical category pulls the vehicle from service until a certified tech signs off.
03Credentials
Licensed, Insured,
Accountable.
Marquee Chauffeur holds Oregon PUC certification, the state regulatory requirement for commercial passenger carriers. Commercial liability coverage stands at $1M per occurrence.
Membership affiliations include the National Limousine Association, Portland Metro Chamber of Commerce, Beaverton Chamber, Tigard Chamber, Vancouver Chamber, and Washington County Visitors Association. These memberships connect the company to the local business community and hold it accountable to professional transportation industry standards.
Insurance coverage depth
Every vehicle in the Marquee fleet carries $1M in commercial auto liability per occurrence, which meets the Oregon PUC minimum for chauffeured passenger carriers. Passenger injury, property damage, and uninsured motorist protections are included under the same policy. A separate cargo and personal effects rider covers luggage, laptops, and checked items moved on an airport trip. Certificates of insurance are issued on request for corporate clients who need the company named as an additional insured on a specific account.
PUC bonding and passenger claims
Marquee Chauffeur is a bonded Oregon PUC carrier, which is separate from the liability policy and guarantees claim payment up to the bond limit for regulated violations. A passenger claim process begins with a written report to dispatch at (503) 706-8662 within 48 hours of the incident. The report is forwarded to the insurance carrier the same day, a claim number is issued within one business day, and the adjuster coordinates directly with the passenger from that point forward.
04Philosophy
One Client, One Trip,
One Standard.
That phrase is not a tagline. It describes how dispatch operates every day.
The dispatch team knows repeat clients by name, by vehicle preference, and by pickup habits. The chauffeurs know which routes save time at which hours and which building entrances work best for staging. A client who books weekly does not re-explain preferences each time. That information carries forward.
Personalized service at this level usually breaks when a company scales. Marquee keeps the fleet at three vehicles specifically to prevent that from happening.
05Market Position
Where Marquee Chauffeur Fits in Portland's
Transportation Ecosystem.
Portland has rideshare apps, taxi companies, airport shuttles, and limousine services. Marquee Chauffeur occupies a specific position in that mix. We are not a rideshare app — your driver is a named vetted chauffeur, not an algorithm match. We are not a taxi — your vehicle passes a 35-point inspection before every trip. We are not a shuttle — you do not share the cabin with strangers. We are not a stretch limousine company chasing prom season. We are a private chauffeur service built to operate like a staffed department of your travel schedule, available 24/7 at (503) 706-8662.
06Headquarters and Reach
Marquee Chauffeur Headquarters
and Service Reach.
Marquee Chauffeur runs out of a Beaverton headquarters with full coverage of the Portland metro area, the Columbia River corridor, and the broader Pacific Northwest. The fleet positions itself ahead of every booking so chauffeurs arrive early without dead miles on the meter. Wherever the trip starts, dispatch confirms the route, the driver, and the vehicle the night before. Long-haul and out-of-state pickups are part of standard operations, not a special-request exception. Coverage details for each region are below.
Beaverton headquarters
The Beaverton HQ keeps the fleet, dispatch desk, and detailing bay under one roof. That proximity matters. A 35-point inspection happens in the same garage where the chauffeur picks up the keys, which keeps the vehicle preparation chain short and the accountability direct. Beaverton placement also puts the team minutes from PDX, Nike World Headquarters, and the Sunset Highway business corridor.
Portland metro coverage
Daily coverage spans downtown Portland, the Pearl District, the South Waterfront, Lake Oswego, Tigard, Hillsboro, Clackamas, Gresham, and Vancouver WA. Hotel pickups, residential driveways, and corporate campuses are equally familiar to the chauffeur team. Dispatch maintains pre-cleared staging zones at the Portland Convention Center, the Moda Center, and the Veterans Memorial Coliseum for event-day pickups.
Long-haul Pacific Northwest routes
Marquee runs regular long-haul service to Seattle, Bend, Eugene, Salem, the Oregon coast, and the Willamette Valley wine country. Hourly and point-to-point rates apply depending on the trip. Chauffeurs scout weather and construction the morning of every long-haul run so you know about delays before you do.
Out-of-state pickups
Visiting executives can request out-of-state pickups in southern Washington, northern California, or Idaho through dispatch with at least 24 hours of notice. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter handles cross-border group movements, and the Cadillac Escalade ESV carries luggage-heavy executive parties. Cross-state runs follow the same insurance and inspection standards as a downtown Portland pickup.
07Reputation
Awards, Reviews, and
Industry Recognition.
Recognition shows up in three places for Marquee Chauffeur: client reviews, industry memberships, and chamber affiliations. The 5.0 Google rating did not happen by accident. It reflects every chauffeur showing up early, every vehicle passing inspection, and every dispatch call answered by a person. Industry memberships hold the company to professional transportation standards beyond the Oregon PUC baseline, and chamber affiliations connect it to the local business community where most of its corporate clients live and work.
5.0 Google rating with 151+ reviews
The Marquee Chauffeur Google Business Profile holds a perfect 5.0 average across more than 151 verified reviews. Reviewers cite on-time arrivals, clean vehicles, and chauffeurs who handle luggage without being asked. You can read every review on Google by searching Marquee Chauffeur Portland. Reviews update in real time as new clients post.
National Limousine Association membership
Marquee is a member of the National Limousine Association, the trade body that sets professional standards for chauffeured ground transportation in the United States. NLA membership means access to safety training, insurance benchmarks, and an ethics code that runs above the state PUC requirements. It also signals to corporate travel buyers that the company operates inside a recognized industry framework.
Chamber affiliations
Marquee Chauffeur is an active member of the Portland Metro Chamber of Commerce, the Beaverton Chamber, the Tigard Chamber, the Vancouver Chamber, and the Washington County Visitors Association. Chamber participation keeps the team close to local business news, ribbon-cuttings, and the visiting delegations that often need ground transportation while in town.
Repeat-client referrals
A measurable share of new business arrives by referral from existing clients. Corporate accounts pass the dispatch number to peer companies. Wedding clients pass it to their planners. Hotel concierges pass it to guests who need a vehicle for the day. That referral pattern is the most honest performance review the company gets.
