About A Step Above Limousine

At A Step Above Limousine, we don’t just provide transportation; we craft experiences that redefine luxury transportation. Since our inception in 2007, we’ve set the standard for excellence in ground transportation services. With a steadfast commitment to exceeding expectations, we’ve earned a reputation for delivering unparalleled service to our esteemed clientele. Our foundation rests on the pillars of quality, reliability, and professionalism.

What We Are Here to Do

Our mission is to deliver safe, reliable, and discreet chauffeur services that exceed expectations through professionalism, punctuality, and personalized care. We are committed to providing every client with a comfortable and refined experience.

Why Clients Choose Us Again

After nearly twenty years serving Charlotte, the pattern is clear: transportation needs vary dramatically depending on context. Corporate clients need punctuality and discretion for their meeting and event transportation. A bride and groom need absolute timeline reliability for their wedding transportation to avoid a late start to the ceremony. Families need flexibility when grandpa’s flight gets delayed or the birthday celebration runs longer than anyone expected.

The ability to deliver across those different situations comes from structure, not improvisation. Clients work directly with coordinators who know Charlotte’s geography, understand how traffic patterns shift throughout the day, and communicate proactively when adjustments are needed. Our chauffeurs aren’t gig workers rotating through—they’re professionally trained team members (PVH certified, National Safety Council 4-week program, supervised field training) who understand their job extends beyond navigation to representing how someone’s important day begins or ends.

That consistency has resulted in 5-star reviews and long-term relationships with corporate clients, wedding planners, and families who call us first because they know what they’re getting.

How We Actually Operate

The work ranges from straightforward airport transportation at CLT to complex multi-day events involving multiple vehicles and coordination that allows zero room for error. Some clients book once. Others have worked with us for years because they know exactly who to call when circumstances change last minute.

The common thread: people trust us for moments that genuinely matter to them. Our team firmly believes that when the outcome matters, logistics can’t be the part that fails.

That responsibility determines how we operate—from how quickly calls get answered to how chauffeurs are trained to how vehicles get maintained. Not because it photographs well for marketing, but because trust, once broken, doesn’t come back.

We operate 24/7 throughout Charlotte and a 50-mile radius. You can book as soon as possible based on availability—we don’t force arbitrary advance notice requirements. For airport service, we track flights automatically. International arrivals get 1 hour of complimentary wait time; domestic gets 30 minutes. Your chauffeur meets you at baggage claim or curbside, whichever you prefer. You receive their contact information via cell phone ahead of time.

When you email us or call, you talk to someone who can actually answer your questions and make decisions. Not a script-reading call center. Not an automated system. People who know the business and care about getting it right.

Our Fleet Philosophy

Vehicle selection comes down to matching capacity and presentation to what the situation actually requires. Our Mercedes S-Class for executives who need genuine quiet and space to work. Cadillac Escalade ESVs for families where everyone needs their own space and luggage actually fits. Motor Coaches, when keeping groups coordinated, matter more than splitting them across multiple vehicles.

Every vehicle receives thorough preparation ahead of each assignment—not just for aesthetics, though that matters, but because mechanical issues don’t just cause delays. They break the trust clients place in us when they book transportation for something important. A breakdown on the way to a wedding or critical meeting isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a failure that affects how someone’s entire day progresses.

Our fleet includes modern vehicles with regular maintenance and inspection. Each vehicle has amenities like Wi-Fi, but more importantly, each vehicle is something we’d feel confident putting a family member in—because that’s essentially what clients are trusting us with.

Ayman Abusamak

Meet Ayman

Allow us to introduce Ayman, the visionary behind A Step Above Limousine. Ayman’s journey as an entrepreneur began at a remarkably young age, kindling his passion for luxury transportation. His initial foray into the industry began as a greeter at the airport, where he quickly recognized the potential to deliver unparalleled service in transportation. Even before he could legally drive, Ayman’s entrepreneurial spirit was evident as he seized the opportunity to provide exceptional service and earn a livelihood.

Upon turning 16, Ayman began his driving career in Atlanta, starting with exotic limousines like Navigators, Excursions, and Hummers. His tenure as one of the youngest limo drivers in Georgia to obtain a license launched him into the forefront of the upscale transportation industry. As Ayman became more and more involved in the field over the years, he became an expert at it, mastering all of its nuances.

Ayman’s dedication to excellence and unwavering commitment to quality soon led him to establish his first professional transportation business. Fueled by his passion for delivering the best service, Ayman continuously expanded his operations, eventually founding A Step Above Limousine in Charlotte. Five years later, he expanded his reach to Atlanta with Ambassador Global Chauffeur, solidifying his presence in two major cities separated by over 250 miles.

In both Charlotte and Atlanta, Ayman’s leadership has been instrumental in fostering a culture of excellence and professionalism. He has assembled a team of professionals who uphold the impeccable standards on which the company was built. Ayman’s hands-on approach ensures that clients in both cities receive personalized attention, with a focus on making meaningful relationships and providing a truly bespoke experience.

Ayman successfully manages operations in two cities by blending high energy with traditional values. His commitment to maintaining industry integrity—despite rising competition and tech changes—is what makes our company unique.
