The Driver Provider, Phoenix

When Jason Kaplan discovered an untapped transportation niche in the hotel and resort industry, he started The Driver Provider. In the beginning, his one-man operation transported just a handful of clients. He let his business grow naturally, relying on word of mouth instead of hiring a sales staff or a team of skywriting dragons. Over time, he built relationships with luxury resorts and Fortune 100 companies, amassing a fleet of 1,200 sedans, vans, limos, buses, and SUVs. Because of his good reputation, the readers of Arizona Foothills voted The Driver Provider the Best Limo and Sweet Rides in 2011. In addition to running his business, Jason Kaplan was president of the Arizona Limousine Association for two years.
