Carey International Announces Miami Acquisition
    WASHINGTON, Jan. 20 -- Carey International, Inc.
announced today that it has acquired Club Limousine Service of
Miami, Florida.  Club is the largest full service transportation and limousine
company in the greater Miami area with fiscal 1998 sales of approximately
$4 million.
    Founded in 1970 by Mike Campanile, Club is the preferred chauffeured
transportation service for many of the leading hotels and resorts in South
Florida, serving Dade, Broward, and Monroe Counties.  The company provides
services through a fleet of 60 limousines, sedans, vans, minibuses, and
state-of-the art motor coaches.
    "Mike Campanile is the Dean of the limousine business in South Florida,"
commented Vincent A. Wolfington, Chairman and CEO of Carey International, Inc.
"Club is a valuable acquisition for us.  Miami is a major destination for
meetings and events, and the area is the 'gateway' to Latin America.  By
acquiring Club, we not only make strong additions to our management team, but
we also enhance our position with customers traveling to and from Latin
America."
    "We chose to join Carey because of the Company's commitment to high-
quality customer service and the experience of its management team," stated
Mr. Campanile.  "Carey has assembled a formidable position throughout Florida,
and it is now the largest and strongest chauffeured vehicle service company in
the state.  Partnering with Carey offers us a tremendous opportunity to grow,
and it also enables us to provide greater service to our customers as part of
Carey's international system."
    Carey International, a leading industry consolidator, is the world's
largest chauffeured vehicle service company.  The Company provides limousine,
sedan, van and minibus service through a worldwide network of owned and
operated companies, licensees and affiliates serving 420 cities in
65 countries.
