As the pandemic wound down and people resumed normal activity like travel, an innovative new business has been gearing up and quietly growing in Southwest Michigan. Headquartered in South Haven, “Moveportz Transportation Services LP” (dba Moveportz Private Car and Shuttle Service) has been growing and leading the local private car and shuttle business industry in Southwest Michigan.
Moveportz specializes in transporting you, your friends and family to major airports in the region, as well as providing shuttle service for wine tastings, weddings, sports, and other fun activities. One of Moveportz largest business segments involves transportation to Chicago O’Hare, Chicago Midway, Detroit Metro, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and South Bend Airports.
Moveportz has essentially created a new business category in Southwest Michigan with the creation of their “private car service.” It is important to note that “private car service” is different than Uber, Lyft or a taxi. Unlike calling a taxi or a “ride share” service, Moveportz operates by prior appointment or reservation only.
The other big difference between Moveportz and several busy and successful “one car operators” in the region is precisely that: Moveportz has more than ONE car. In fact, Moveportz presently has five vehicles, with plans to purchase additional vehicles in the foreseeable future.
Each Moveportz 7-Passenger vehicle can accommodate between one to four passengers comfortably. For larger groups, Moveportz utilizes their roomy 12-14 passenger Vans.
For trips within the state of Michigan, Moveportz also has two 14-passenger shuttle buses, that are perfect for weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, concerts, sporting events and similar group trips.
Moveportz is jointly owned and operated by Lamantha R. Wyatt and Prince Covington, Sr. Wyatt is the Co-Owner, CEO and Administrator along with Covington who is the Co-Owner, Managing Partner and Logistic Manager of Moveportz. Wyatt currently maintains dual residency in Atlanta, Georgia, and South Haven and brings 30+ years of legal and administrative experience to the Moveportz Team. She also owns and operates her own business where she executes her passion for helping veterans and seniors.
Covington retired from the US Marine Corps and the US Army Reserves with 20+ years of experience in managing transportation and logistics. He then put that experience to work teaching management classes at Ivy Tech in South Bend.
The Moveportz Team employs several professional, semi-retired logistics industry drivers including Kenan Harris, who is a Veteran who served in the United States Marine Corps. As a reservist with the United States Army Harris has a background in the trucking industry and has extensive experience in over-the-road trucking logistics.
As a team, Wyatt and Covington saw the need in the Southwest Michigan area for a fulltime, dependable transportation service and have built their business on excellent customer service and transportation reliability .
Covington explains that each Moveportz service is unique, and is based on number of passengers, schedule availability and other details.
