How to check the Legal Status of a Georgia Ground Transportation Company

The Georgia Department of Public Safety (GDPS) is responsible for the regulation of limousine, shuttle and charter-bus operators.

Before you book transportation, view the GDPS website list of licensed limousine carriers and or the list of licensed charter-bus carriers to make sure the operator is legally licensed to operate within the state of Georgia.

The Georgia Department of Public Safety also provides a DPS Reliability Report which provides an objective rating of companies. This rating is based on frequency, time to resolve customer complaints, responsiveness to DPS inquiries, and on the number of records on file regarding non-compliance to the DPS commissioner rules. Contact the Georgia Department of Public Safety directly at 404-463-3880 or 404-463-7741 for additional information or to file an official ground transportation complaint.
