Twilite was started in 2008 by the original owners (Mick and Sanya) in McMinnville OR. They did a great job in creating awareness and
developing the website plus providing excellent customer service. In August of 2010, We purchased the website, name and our first limo a white 94 stretch limo from Sanya and Mick. Since those first days we have learned, learned and learned again and can only thank you our clients, guests and now many have become friends….Thank you so much for a great 1st year.

Since beginning with that first limo, which has now gone on to a private family in southern Oregon to enjoy, Twilite now currently operates a fleet of 9 vehicles. What a freshman year and the success is only because of you our friends, clients and guests. Adding the trolleys and now a H2 Hummer rounds out the fleet with the ability to truly provide a robust offering of transportation solutions
for just about any size group and event.
In our sophmore year you can expect even better service, the best rates, improved website with check out abilities, and some great new tours. An urban wine and artisan cheese tour, trolley holiday lights tour and a brew pub crawl to name just a few in the works…
