Licensed & Insured Car Service in Los Angeles
Last Updated: July 2026
My name is Patrick W. Paige. I founded Ride n’ Relax in 2016 to provide a premium licensed and insured car service Los Angeles travelers can trust completely for airport and executive travel. We never take shortcuts with passenger safety. Therefore, Ride n’ Relax maintains comprehensive commercial insurance coverage through an A-rated carrier. This setup allows us to satisfy strict airport permit guidelines. Consequently, we can execute legitimate, hassle-free curbside pickups for our clients.
Why Choose a Licensed and Insured Car Service in Los Angeles?
When booking private transportation, you should always ask the carrier for their active credentials. In the event of an unexpected highway accident, you want peace of mind. You need to know that your family or executive team has full protection.
To legally provide ground transportation and curbside pickups at major hubs like Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Ontario International Airport (ONT), transport companies must maintain a minimum of $750,000 in active liability coverage for vehicles carrying 10 passengers or fewer. Furthermore, travelers must beware of non-permitted airport shuttle services that operate illegally. These unauthorized operations lack the mandatory compliance needed to keep you safe.
As a result, smart clients always ask ground transportation carriers if they hold a valid Transportation Charter Permit (TCP) permit and proof of commercial insurance. The California Public Utilities Commission strictly regulates our entire operation. You can easily verify our active standing directly on the official CPUC Portal under TCP #36979.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a TCP license?
A TCP license is a Transportation Charter Permit issued by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). It legally authorizes charter-party carriers of passengers to operate commercial vehicles within the state of California.
Why is commercial insurance important?
Commercial liability insurance ensures that insurance providers legally protect and financially cover passengers in the event of an unexpected traffic accident. Standard personal auto insurance policies do not cover commercial passenger transport.
Can any company pick up passengers at LAX?
No. Only transportation companies holding a valid TCP license and an official Ground Transportation Permit from Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) can legally perform commercial curbside pickups at LAX.
How do I verify a transportation company?
You can verify a company’s legal status by looking up their TCP number directly on the official California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) public portal to ensure their license and insurance are active.
Is Ride n’ Relax licensed by the CPUC?
Yes. Ride n’ Relax holds a full license and permit from the CPUC under permit number TCP #36979.
