Hour Detroit magazine voters selected World Class Detroit as a 2025 “Best of Detroit” finalist in its Limo Service category. WCD was recognized among a list of long-established limousine services, despite being in business just 2.5 years.
“I’m blown away that World Class Detroit has been voted to a list like this so early in our existence,” said Matt Haran, owner/chauffeur of WCD. “Certainly, our client list is much smaller than these other services’, so I think it speaks to the passion our clients have for the service we provide and the relationships we’ve developed with them.”
Winners and finalists were honored at Hour Detroit‘s Best of Detroit Party at the Westin Book-Cadillac Hotel on June 26.
We’re honored to support Make-A-Wish Michigan with transportation for their wish families. Last month we presented them a donation check for $2,120, which represented $10 per trip we performed in April. Kudos to this high-quality nonprofit doing amazing work for their families. On top of it, they are a joy to work with!
Since 2023, World Class Detroit has been privileged to support Make-A-Wish® Michigan by providing high-quality transportation to help make wishes come true for Michigan kids with critical illnesses.
To extend our support further, and in celebration of World Wish Month, WCD will donate $10 per ride to Make-A-Wish Michigan for all rides performed throughout the month of April!
Our goal is to highlight the outstanding work they are doing and provide them more financial resources to enhance the services they provide these families.

In November 2024, World Class Detroit was recognized for the second year in a row as a People’s Choice Best of Canton award winner!

The call for votes included an email to chamber members and general promotion to members of the Canton community and southeast Michigan via social media.

CANTON, MI (AUG. 9, 2024) – World Class Detroit (WCD) has been named Collette’s exclusive transportation provider in southeast Michigan, delivering high-quality chauffeured car service for Collette clients traveling to and from their vacation destinations via Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW).
As part of Collette’s industry-leading Door-to-Door (D2D) service, WCD’s experienced chauffeurs will be the first and last points of contact for Collette clients traveling for their comprehensive land tours, river cruises, rail journeys, small group tours, family trips, garden holidays and more.
“It’s an honor for World Class Detroit to partner with a revered travel company like Collette,” said Matt Haran, owner/chauffeur, World Class Detroit. “Our friendly customer-service approach will support their longstanding commitment to delivering incredible travel experiences for their clients.”

WCD rates are, on average, 10-25% lower than local competitors. In addition to lower prices, WCD provides complimentary beverages (water, soda, juice) and snacks (chips, cookies, breakfast bars, etc.) with every engagement.
According to Haran, this is just the beginning as WCD expands in the region, serving individuals, families and corporate accounts. WCD plans to add sedans to its fleet, which currently features SUVs.
“We’re doubling down on keeping rates as low as possible while delivering the very highest quality car service,” said Haran. “It’s a pretty simple concept, and it’s working well for us!”

This month’s issue of Plymouth Today magazine features a profile of World Class Detroit and the value WCD offers in Metro Detroit’s limousine market. Other limo services’ rates continue to increase while WCD’s remain well under the competition. In fact, a major Detroit-area service just quietly raised their rates for the second time in less than a year. I cheer on their increases because it only amplifies WCD’s value proposition in the Detroit market.
“(CBS DETROIT) – We’ve all had a day at work where we thought about doing something different. If an opportunity came up, would you be willing to make the leap?
Matt Haran made that decision switching lanes from that race to one filled with soda, smiles, and snacks.
“I had a 23-year career in corporate communications, and I loved that work, but I just started getting tired of it,” says Haran, the owner of World Class Detroit Car Service LLC.

I had the pleasure of driving wish kid Vann and his family for their recent trip to Orlando, courtesy of Make-A-Wish Michigan. This was World Class Detroit’s donated round trip for the month of November, and I was ecstatic it was for such a wonderful family. They were so friendly and appreciative of the opportunity Make-A-Wish Michigan had given them. And I learned their trip was perfectly timed because they had received the best news they could about Vann’s health. So it wasn’t just a fantastic trip, but a true celebration! I feel privileged to assist Make-A-Wish Michigan with their impactful work because they are giving hope and inspiration to kids like Vann and their families. Want to help make wishes come true?
