GTA 5 Stretch Limo Cheat Code: How to Spawn the Limousine on Any Platform

The Stretch limousine is one of the few genuinely luxury rides in GTA 5, and unlike most cars in Los Santos, you cannot buy one from a dealership. The only way in is a cheat code. Here is every method that works: the phone number, the PC keyboard trick, and the controller combos for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Xbox 360.

The essentials

• Phone number (all platforms): dial 1-999-846-39663 on your in-game cell phone
• PC keyboard: type VINEWOOD during free-roam gameplay, no console window needed
• PS4 / PS5: R2, Right, L2, Left, Left, R1, L1, Circle, Right
• Xbox One / Series X|S: RT, Right, LT, Left, Left, RB, LB, B, Right
• Works only in GTA 5 story mode, never in GTA Online
• Using it disables Achievements/Trophies for the rest of that play session

How to dial the phone cheat (works on every platform)

The phone method is the most reliable one because it works the same way whether you are on PC, PlayStation or Xbox.

1. Open the pause menu and select your character's cell phone, or tap the touchpad/view button to pull it up directly.
2. Go to the dial pad (the icon that looks like a phone keypad).
3. Enter 1-999-846-39663 exactly as written, including the leading 1.
4. Press call. The limo spawns nearby within a second or two, with a short animation and sound cue confirming the cheat landed.

That number spells out 1-999-VINEWOOD on a phone keypad, which is why some guides list it as a word instead of digits. Either way, dialing the digits works.

PC keyboard method

On PC you do not need to open a developer console. During normal gameplay, with no menu open, just type VINEWOOD on your keyboard. A small notification icon appears in the top-right corner after each correct letter, so you know the game is registering the input. Finish the word and the Stretch limo spawns immediately.

PS4 and PS5 button combo

If you would rather not deal with the in-game phone, the classic controller input still works on both PS4 and PS5:

R2, Right, L2, Left, Left, R1, L1, Circle, Right

Enter it during active gameplay, not while the pause menu is open. Get the timing wrong and nothing happens, so just retry the sequence.

Xbox button combo

Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox 360 all use the same combo, mapped to Xbox buttons:

RT, Right, LT, Left, Left, RB, LB, B, Right

Same rule applies: enter it live, during gameplay, not from a menu.

Why the phone method exists

GTA 5 launched in 2013 with the classic controller-combo cheats inherited from earlier GTA games, but Rockstar later added the phone-dial method as a friendlier alternative once players complained the button sequences were hard to remember and easy to fumble mid-fight. The phone numbers spell out real words on a keypad (VINEWOOD, TURTLE, BUZZOFF, and so on), which makes them easier to recall than nine-button combos. That is also why the digit sequence and the word version both work interchangeably: they are the same input, just displayed two different ways.

Troubleshooting: cheat not spawning the limo

If nothing happens after you dial or type the code, run through this checklist:

• You are in a menu or cutscene. All cheat inputs, phone or button combo, only register during free-roam gameplay. Close menus and wait for cutscenes to end.
• You mistyped the number. Double-check you dialed all nine digits after the 1, in order: 846-39663.
• You are on a modified or Story Mode Rockstar-verified save. Some special saves used for GTA+ story content in certain regions block cheats entirely.
• The limo spawned somewhere you cannot see. It usually appears on the nearest road behind your character. Turn around before assuming the cheat failed.
• You are trying this in GTA Online. The phone in GTA Online does not accept any of the story mode cheat numbers, by design.

What is the Stretch limo, exactly

In GTA 5, the limo that spawns from this cheat is simply called Stretch in the game's vehicle list. It is a long, black, chauffeur-style limousine with room for several passengers in the back, making it one of the better cars for cruising Los Santos with a full crew of friends in local co-op or just for messing around in single-player. It handles like the heavy luxury sedan it is: fast in a straight line, clumsy in tight corners, and comically bad at squeezing through narrow streets.

Rules and limitations of GTA 5 cheats

A few things to know before you dial in the code:

• Cheats are strictly single-player. They do nothing in GTA Online and Rockstar has never added a way to use them there.
• Turning on any cheat, including this one, disables Trophies and Achievements for the current session. Reload a save or restart the game to re-enable them.
• The effect does not persist. If you want another Stretch limo later, or you total the one you have, you need to enter the code again.
• You can stack cheats freely. Spawning the limo does not cancel other active cheats like weapons or invincibility.
• Cheats are unavailable on Story Mode saves used for the Rockstar-hosted GTA+ challenges in some regions, so check in-game if the option is greyed out.

FAQ

Does the Stretch limo cheat work in GTA Online? No. Like every GTA 5 cheat code, it is locked to story mode only.

Will using this cheat get my account banned? No, as long as you only use it in story mode. Rockstar cannot detect or punish single-player cheats since they never touch GTA Online's servers.

Is there a cheat to spawn money instead? No, and there never has been. Our GTA 5 money cheat guide explains why Rockstar deliberately left one out.

Can I save my game with cheats active? Yes, you can save, but Achievements/Trophies stay locked for that session regardless.

Can I get the Stretch limo any other way, like buying it? No. Outside of the Rockstar Editor and mods, the cheat code is the only way to bring a Stretch limo into your game. It never shows up for sale on Legendary Motorsport or any in-game dealership website, and it does not spawn naturally in traffic.
