96 MINIMUM PROMSTERS LEFT ON SIDE WALK AFTER VOSA CRACKDOWN

July 8th, 2010

Due to the pure fact that most limousine companies are not listening to the law or acknowledging the changes, VOSA are cracking down on the limousine firms that choose to go against them.

A prom night is the last chance to look back on your school life and remember the good times, the hard and to have an insight of what the future will bring, however one prom in Peterborough was ruined as a limousine company (not to be named) had not been honest to their costumers by not following the law and therefore creating the worst possible nightmare for a promsters last night of school life.

Twelve limousines in total were called to a stop, all of which from the same limousine firm. All of the limousine chauffeurs had no UK licence, three of the limos had then been towed and scrapped leaving the promsters on the side road, the hummer style stretch limousine had fifteen people on board with no COIF certificate, and every time they tried to turn the limousine on, it drenched the road with petrol which was coming from the engine.

From this over 12 limousines worth of prom goers last school night was ruined, how much more until people learn.

REPOSSED LIMOUSINE ON PROM NIGHT

May 7th, 2010

When the big night comes up for any teenager, so many things could go wrong for them, ill fitting tuxes, zits, wilted flowers, even the date running off with someone else, however a group of high school kids in Oklahoma had had their evening spoiled in a way that is all too indicatives of the times which we live in. On their prom night they watched their limousine they had booked being repossessed.

The teenagers and the limousine chauffer had just stepped out of the stretch hummer limousine when someone else had suddenly hopped onboard and started to drive away. ‘Our limousine is getting carjacked!’ one of the teens said as they all watched the stretch limo speed off. According to the owner of the limousine company, the vehicle should not have been repossessed at all. He then claimed that he would have to sort his issue out with the bank, but he then quoted that the bank didn’t pass the information onto the repo man. The owner say he intends to make up for any lose within this incident with a partial refund or free future rental.

This just proves that anyone who dodges the rules, will get caught and executed. With any big day, this is the worst nightmare. This is why with Limo Hire, we make sure that every limousine company that joins our directory is safe, to the best of their ability and most of all legal. Their will be no mistakes when hiring/becoming part of the family with Limo Hire.
