A limousine is a luxury vehicle driven by a chauffeur with a partition between the driver’s compartment and the passenger compartment. A car with a partition and a lengthened wheelbase is called a “stretch limousine”. In some countries, a “limousine service” is a pre-booked hire car with driver, regardless of the type of vehicle.
Rich owners of expensive carriages and their passengers were accustomed to their own private compartment leaving their coachman or driver outside in all weathers. When automobiles arrived the same people required a similar arrangement for their chauffeurs.
