Phantom Defense 360 currently works with licensed limousine transportation partners to provide vehicles and chauffeurs during the soft launch.
Some shared soft-launch vehicle windows require multiple confirmed reservations. Phantom Dispatch will confirm availability or offer alternative times, vehicles, or a dedicated-vehicle option.
Preliminary Starting Estimate
This calculator provides a preliminary starting estimate only. Phantom Dispatch will confirm the final price after reviewing vehicle availability, limousine-partner pricing, trip details, mileage, timing, staffing, service area, and operational requirements.
What Is a Phantom Protective Driver?
A Phantom Protective Driver is a vetted transportation operator trained to provide professional client movement with safe-driving practices, situational awareness, route awareness, Dispatch communication, customer privacy, and documented arrival procedures.
During the soft launch, vehicles and chauffeurs may be provided through licensed limousine partners operating under their applicable commercial auto insurance.
Standard public Phantom Defense 360 rides are unarmed and do not automatically include bodyguard, law-enforcement, emergency-response, or armed-security services.
Armed protection is not included in standard public Phantom Defense 360 transportation packages. Any armed assignment requires:
- A separate assignment and threat assessment
- Properly licensed and qualified personnel
- Written Phantom Command authorization
- Confirmation of applicable insurance coverage
- Client-contract approval
- Compliance with federal, state, and local laws
- Compliance with airport, venue, property, and event restrictions
- A separate written service agreement
All displayed prices are starting prices. Final pricing may change based on:
Phantom Dispatch will provide the final price before the assignment is confirmed.
Requests may be canceled without charge before Phantom Dispatch approves the assignment.
After approval, cancellation charges may apply because Phantom Defense may have committed a limousine vehicle, chauffeur, protection personnel, or other operational resources.
Same-day, dedicated-vehicle, specialty-vehicle, and last-minute reservations may be partially or fully nonrefundable.

Phantom Defense 360 is a private protective transportation and security-focused service platform. Our services do not replace law enforcement, emergency medical services, or 911. In any emergency or immediate threat situation, customers should contact 911 first.
Quick answers.
How is Phantom different from Uber or Lyft?
Phantom is request-based and protection-oriented. Vehicles, routing, and service standards are coordinated through Phantom dispatch — not an open driver marketplace. Every ride goes through a vetted operator with a premium SUV-class vehicle.
When can I actually book a ride?
Soft launch is active now by request for Founding Access members. Public booking opens after the soft-launch window. Joining the waitlist locks in expedited booking access and launch credits.
Do you cover DTW airport pickups at any hour?
Yes — late-night and early-morning DTW arrivals are one of our core use cases. Submit your flight details on the Airport Pickup form and dispatch confirms availability.
Is Phantom a replacement for 911 or armed security?
No. Phantom is protective transportation, not emergency response or armed protection. In any active emergency, call 911 first. Phantom adds a layer of safer, coordinated movement around your day.
This is protective transportation — not emergency medical service.
- Phantom Defense 360 is not an ambulance, paramedic, or emergency medical transport. We do not provide medical care.
- We are not a substitute for 911 or any public-safety, fire, or law-enforcement service.
- Operators provide professional protective transportation. We are not a private security, bodyguard, or law-enforcement agency unless explicitly contracted under a separate licensed agreement.
- Service is request-based during soft launch — availability, coverage, pricing, and response times vary by location and capacity, and are confirmed in writing before dispatch.
In an emergency, call 911 first. Then contact Phantom dispatch for follow-on support.
Join the first 100 protected riders shaping Phantom in Detroit.
Founding members shape the service — expedited booking, launch credits, and a direct line to dispatch. We're staying intentionally small at launch to keep the standard high for every rider, family, traveler, and guest we serve.
Be first in line when Phantom goes live.
Founding Access members receive expedited booking windows, airport pickup availability, and a $25 launch credit toward an eligible first booking.
