In most parts of the USA it is 2/32 of an inch.
2/32" on a standard passenger vehicle for most States in the USA, and that ain't much.
At a minimum, a Class C Commercial Drivers Licence with Passenger endorsement and no air brake restriction (if the vehicle is equipped with air brakes). If the vehicle has a GVWR of over 26,000 lbs (which is a bit unlikely with an 18 passenger vehicle), then a Class B CDL would be required, again with the Passenger endorsement and without a restriction on air brakes, if the vehicle were so equipped.
Yes. In most states, a limousine can be driven on a standard drivers license, so long as the GVWR of the vehicle is under 26,001 lbs. and the vehicle is designed to transport 15 persons or less (including the driver). The only time(s) a CDL would be required would be the aforementioned instances, where the GVWR exceeds 26,000 lbs. or the vehicle design exceeds the 15 passenger limit (in which case, a passenger endorsement is required, regardless of vehicle GVWR).
public liability
All states have regulated the minimum required Liability Limits of Auto Insurance within that state. Your lienholders Finance Contract that you signed will determine the amount of your property insurance coverage required to protect their interest in your financed vehicle.
That depends on the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the vehicle, the number of occupants, and, in the case of a vehicle with a GVWR of 26,000 lbs. or less and an occupancy of 15 persons (including the driver) or less, the laws of individual states, as some states have a chauffeurs license system, while others do not. If it is designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver), a CDL of some form is required, along with a passenger endorsement. If the vehicle is 26,000 lbs. GVWR or less, a Class C CDL with passenger endorsement is required. If it is a vehicle with a GVWR in excess of 26,000 lbs., a Class B CDL with a passenger endorsement is required.
It would carry passengers in a trailer/trail vehicle. For example, in Army Basic Training, trainees are often transported in gooseneck trailers towed by Class 7 trucks. Were these allowed on public roadways, they would require a Class A with passenger endorsement (and the road test portion of the Passenger test would have to be done in a passenger transport vehicle which required the operator to hold a Class A CDL).

Providing you are transporting people for hire, a passenger endorsement is required by anyone operating the vehicle.Added: If you are actually driving the vehicle but you do not hold the proper endorsement yourself, you are in violation regardless of whether the holder of the correct endorsement is a passenger in the vehicle or not. It is YOU that is in control of the vehicle - not them.
