Sterling Rose Transportation began in April 2005 as Sterling Rose Limousines. Formerly, Cloud 9 Limousines, the named was changed to reflect new ownership and a determination to be the best chauffeured transportation company in the Temecula Valley. While many names were considered, Sterling Rose was chosen as a symbol of class and elegance. The Sterling Rose, a lavender colored rose is also the favorite flower of founder Heidi Levin, who carried them down the aisle at her wedding. Sterling Rose chauffeurs wear lavender shirts and ties as a symbol of the flower color.

Through several acquisitions, the company expanded its territory into San Diego and Los Angeles and also shifted its focus to corporate transportation, including meetings and events. As a result, in April 2009, the name was changed to Sterling Rose Transportation.Although Sterling Rose continues to be a full service chauffeured transportation company, the growth continues to come from the Meeting and Events industry with strong relationships with area hotels and destination management companies. As we continue to grow, we are very proud of the fact that we are "Large Enough to Handle the Job, Small Enough to Care About You."

Sterling Rose was named LCT Magazine National Operator of the Year for 2007 in only our third year of operation. We were also named Limousine Digest Operator of the Year for 2010-2011. Winner this award by both publications is something very few companies have accomplished In addition, the company was awarded the Sterling Business of the Year Award by the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce. We continue to set our standards high and offer the best service possible. Try us once and we think you will agree.
