Be Safe!!
The UK limo-hire industry has gone through a major clean up in recent months and limousine operators everywhere are now working with the VOSA and local police to ensure that UK limo-hire is the safest it can be but many limo hire companies all over the UK, are complaining that the latest safety regulations and Limo Laws brought in this October by the government are affecting many limousine hire businesses after they have been experiencing delays in having their new licenses issued.
Under new Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) regulations, any limo carrying over 8 passengers must have a Certificate Of Initial Fitness (COIF) before it can operate legally on UK roads. Only a small number of companies in the country offer a COIF service for limos, making it harder for limousine hire firms to get their vehicles through the process quickly. Plus the price of having a vehicles issued with a COIF can cost up to £20,000.
VOSA have defended the delay in sending the new licenses out citing the small number of companies with the expertise in converting limos to COIF standards as the main hurdle. VOSA say that due to the backlog of vehicles awaiting the procedure, “those who have chosen to leave making their vehicles legal until now, have to wait.”
Remember to always choose a reputable company for your limo hire…..
