The story of Elite BHLS begins with COO George Saakyan — and it begins humbly. Before there was a fleet, before there was a name, there was a man who took a part-time position as a chauffeur at a local limousine company and decided, quietly, that he could do this better.

What George brought to that first job wasn't just a professional driving record. It was a standard — a personal conviction that every passenger deserved to feel like the only passenger. That the vehicle should be immaculate before the door opened. That punctuality wasn't a courtesy, it was a promise. That service, truly exceptional service, wasn't a product you sold — it was a culture you built.

He carried that conviction out of that first company and into his own. Established in the early 2000s, the business began its journey from a home-based office in Valley Village, California — one vehicle, one driver, and a vision that was larger than either of them.

What grew from that first vehicle is one of the largest chauffeured fleets in California. And the standard George set in those earliest days remains, without exception, the standard we hold ourselves to today.

What makes Elite BHLS different from every competitor of comparable size is not the fleet — though the fleet is exceptional. It's not the awards, though those mean something too. It is the fact that this company is, and has always been, a family business in the truest sense of the word.

The evolution from one man's vision to a full-scale operation was built on the foundation of a dedicated father-son partnership — two generations of shared values, complementary strengths, and a unified commitment to the mission that George established from the very beginning.

Family businesses operate differently. The accountability is personal. The pride is real. There is no corporate layer between a client's experience and the people responsible for it. When you call Elite BHLS, you are reaching a team that cares — not because it is a policy, but because this company is their life's work.

That is the energy that has carried Elite BHLS from a Valley Village home office to one of the most recognized transportation companies in California. And it is the energy that will carry it forward for decades to come.

Over the last two decades, Elite BHLS has become more than a transportation company to the clients we serve. We have been present for their daily commutes and their landmark celebrations. We have moved their teams and their families. We have been part of their weddings, their milestones, their business events, and the moments that only happen once.

That kind of trust is not purchased with a marketing budget. It is earned — one trip at a time, over years, through a consistency of service that clients come to rely on as completely as any relationship in their lives.

We have clients who have been with us since our earliest years. Clients who call us for everything. Clients who refer us without hesitation because they know that when they do, we will not let their name down.

That is the legacy we are most proud of. Not the awards. Not the fleet size. The fact that after twenty years, the people who knew us first are still calling us today.

In an industry where reputation is everything, external recognition carries weight. Elite BHLS has been honored with the esteemed title of Affiliate of the Year for multiple successive years — an achievement that first came in 2013 and has continued through 2014, 2015, and beyond.

The Affiliate of the Year designation is not a participation award. It reflects the assessment of industry peers and affiliate partners — the transportation professionals who work alongside us, depend on us to represent their standards, and evaluate our performance without sentiment. To hold that title consecutively, across years, speaks to a consistency that cannot be faked.

We are proud of these recognitions — not as trophies, but as confirmation that the standard we hold ourselves to is visible, measurable, and sustained.

By mid-2023, after more than two decades of building one of California's most respected transportation operations, Elite BHLS was ready for the next chapter.

The expansion into Miami was not an impulsive move. It was the natural outcome of twenty years of discipline — the confidence that comes from having built something that works, with a standard that travels. Miami Choice Limo was announced with the same intention that launched the original company: to bring a level of service to a new market that clients had never experienced before, and to achieve the same trust and recognition that Elite BHLS earned in California.

The Miami market demanded nothing less. And we arrived prepared to deliver exactly that.

The expansion stands as a testament to what a family business built on the right values can become — not just a local company that grew, but a standard of excellence now proving itself in new markets, with the same team, the same culture, and the same uncompromising commitment to every client it serves.
