The History of Athens Transportation
In 2011, while working for one of the larger car service companies in the industry, Gilbert Skinner set out to build something different. He noticed that the true meaning of chauffeur service was getting lost in an increasingly impersonal industry, so he founded Athens Transportation to bring it back. What began as a company serving local hotels quickly expanded, earning the trust of major conventions and events—a foundation that would eventually support a client base spanning the globe.
A Brief Timeline
Within the first year, our fleet grew from a single vehicle to a full line up suited for luxury transportation of every kind. We began building relationships with corporations, travel agencies, and destination partners, and that momentum never slowed. Today, Athens Transportation serves celebrities, VIPs, executives, hotel and meeting planners across international markets, having evolved from a local car service into a trusted name in worldwide private transportation.
