SAFE LIMOUSINE

May 13th, 2010

When hiring any sort of hire vehicle, people want the best looking to make heads turn, but what some people forget is that are they going to be in a legal hire vehicle? Such stretched limousines who say they can carry more then ‘8’ when they seem to have not even heard about the COIF certificate will be caught out one way or another.

 

Any small limousine such as a Chrysler 300c stretch, or Lincoln limousine, to be able to carry up to 8 people, the vehicle needs to be SVA approved. Meaning it has the legal regulations done to the vehicle for it to be able to carry this many people. Any bigger limousine such as party buses, Hummers, & Excursions would require having a COIF certificate which enables them to carry up to 16 people onboard at a time. If you decide to hire a vehicle, make sure you ask the ‘needed’ questions like ‘who are your chauffeurs licensed with’ ‘has your vehicle got a SVA/COIF certificate’ if they do not have this, you are sure to be thrown out of the vehicle if caught by police, and the vehicle then being crushed.

 

Limo Hire ensures that all the limousines companies that jump onboard our business are fully legal, which will enable everyone being safe, and having not to worry about anything but what the hangover cure is going to be in the morning.

Since the opening of the company back in June 2008 the company that specializes in corporate travel, meet and greet hospitality service has not only survived one of the worst economic periods in history but also grown huge amounts.

Warning Letter to Operators from VOSA, Creating the even playing field?

September 18th, 2009

Warning Letter to Operators from VOSA, Creating the even playing field?

Owners of H2 Hummer type limousines across the country have received official letters from VOSA warning of the severe implications if they do not have COIF certification and an Operators licence for their stretch limousine vehicles.

The warning letters are part of the on going efforts by VOSA and the Police to get this type of limousine legal for the UK roads, and falls in line with the local traffic enforcement Act passed in October 2008, which now gives the enforcement agencies the power to seize and crush vehicles that do not comply with the current legislation.

With only one company able to get the Hummer type Limousine through COIF Approval, and at a starting cost of over £18,000 per conversion, certain un licenced limousine operators are likely just to give up, leaving those who have run their companies within the law able to finally get the rewards for their efforts.

What’s your thoughts?

Are you running a Hummer type limousine without COIF Approval or Operators Licence?

Or are you one of the many who saw this coming and got your vehicle converted and got your company licenced?

Tell us what you think, We would love to hear from you.
