Owners of limousine service
:et involved in clients' fun
By Judi Nyrcn
Driving country western singer John
ny Lee through Lincoln while he moon
ed local residents might not have been
what Dan Hurlburt expected when he
ventured into the limousine business.
Hurlburt and Fred Webster, co
owners of Limousines of Nebraska,
3325 A St., formed Lincoln's only limou
sine service in 1980.
"Hock stars often demand a limou
sine in their contract" Hurlburt said.
Jf Lincoln did not have a limousine
service, we would not attract the big
names to our area."
Unlike past limousine services in
Lincoln that went bankrupt Limou
sines of Nebraska stays in business
because Hurlburt and Webster use the
corporation to supplement the money
they earn as insurance agents.
"I use the business as a tax write-off
and for fun," Hurlburt said.
"In the insurance business, people
call you because they have problems.
In a limousine, I get involved in peo
ple's fun," said Hurlburt, who chauf
feurs his own limousine. "I can just be a
boy, sit back, relax and open a few
doors."
Besides serving stars that visit Lin
coln, Limousines of Nebraska caters to
local clients. Business leaders, wealthy
Lincoln residents and out-of-state foot
ball fans who fly in for games use the
limousine service. Wedding parties
make up the majority of clientele, Hurl
burt said.
Limousines of Nebraska charges $25
for the first hour of rental and $35 for
every hour that follows. A free bottle of
champagne Is included in wedding
rentals. .
"In some cases, we do something a
little extra for customers," Hurlburt
said. "Mac Davis wanted to golf, so we
lined up a golf pro to go golfing with
him."
When Charley Daniels' truck driver
was killed, the service broke its "no
funerals" policy and agreed to drive in
the funeral procession.
As long as a request is "within rea
son," Hurlburt said, the corporation
tries to cooperate with a client's wishes.
One woman, a regular customer,
rents a limousine to attract men.
"She has three bars she always goes
to," Hurlburt said. "She drives up in the
limousine, goes inside for a while and
then moves on to the next bar. If a man
begins to bother her, she stands next
to her chauffeur. Now that is entertaining."
