Frequently Asked Questions (General)

Do you have a lower rate for quieter periods?

Yes. Generally speaking, it is possible to receive a favourable hire rate Monday through to Thursday for the stretched limousines.

What type of insurance do you have?

Even though we do not run a taxi service, our vehicles have to be insured for hire and reward. Our policies include cover for the vehicle, driver, passengers and public liability, through a specialist insurer for the limousine hire and chauffeur car market. 

What is a typical hire?

There isn't one. We pride ourselves on being flexible and accommodating, so we don't believe that there is, or should be a typical hire. We have had some unusual one's but those are between us and our clients.

Do you do airport runs?

Yes, to all of the major airports.

Do you sell alcohol?

No, in order to sell alcohol we would need to have a liquor license. Depending on the length of hire however, we do provide complimentary wine, champagne or drinks.

What is your smoking policy?

In common with most limousine hire companies we do not allow smoking in any of our vehicles. No exceptions.

What type of in car entertainment do your vehicles have?

It very much depends on the vehicle hired, but as a minimum all our vehicles come equipped with a radio/cassette/CD/DVD player for the use of our passengers. In addition, our stretched limousines will at the very least have a TV and DVD player in addition to the sound system and a Playstation2. 

Do you supply the music CD's and DVD's?

Yes, but we accept that not everyone's taste is the same, so our clients are welcome to supply their own.

How far ahead shall we book?

The general rule is as early as possible. For annual events such as Ascot the cars are often booked 12 months ahead. Weddings for the most popular days such as Saturdays should be booked 6 months ahead to avoid disappointment in terms of your choice of car. The later you leave a booking the more likely that the date may not be available.

Would you require a deposit at the time of the booking?

Yes. We require a deposit of £50 to secure your booking. 

How many collection and return points do you allow?

We try not to be too restrictive on this point. However, we believe 3 should be the maximum to ensure that all of the passengers enjoy the hire, this also ensures that waiting time is kept to a minimum and remember, the clock is ticking.

Frequently Asked Questions (About the stretched limousines)

How long are your stretched limousines?

We use the Ford Lincoln stretched limousine. The total length of the cars are between 30 to 33 feet.

Are they difficult to drive?

Not really as long as we take our time. The length can be challenging on smaller roads and this can lead to some restrictions, in addition, the Ford Lincoln Town car in its original guise has a very poor turning circle, consequently it is not improved when the vehicle is stretched by 6ft.

What is the MPG?

On a longer journey with a fair proportion of motorway driving the 'miles per gallon' will average around 14, in town and cities this will reduce to 8 or 9 MPG. Just idling the car will use around 2 gallons of petrol every 3 hours.

How often should the cars be serviced?

Our service interval is every 3000 miles, with thorough daily inspections.

How long does it take to clean the car?

2 Hours, including dressing the vehicles.

How big is the engine?

4.6 litre.
