    Everyone has a time in their life when they need to hire a limousine service.  Whether it’s for prom, homecoming, or just another day of travel, hiring a limousine service is no easy task.  If you are searching for a limousine service, here are some tips for finding the right one.

    Make Sure Your Limo Company is Licensed With the Right State Agencies

    Before you choose a company, you should check to make sure it is licensed with the right state agencies.  Whether a company offers services for airport limousines, prom limousines, wedding limousines, etc, licensing is required Some state agencies that regulate limo services include:

    • Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV):   Some states require all limos to have valid registration with the DMV.  This usually includes licensing for drivers in addition to limo registration.  If the company you are considering using is not in good standing with your state DMV, then it could be illegal for them to provide their services.
    • Public Utilities Commission (PUC):   Limos that take people from one state line to another will need to comply with the PUC where the pick-up and drop-off points are located.  This is to ensure that the drivers meet proper qualifications and that all cars used for transportation by the limo company have the proper safety features.
    • Department of Transportation (DOT):   The DOT regulates aspects of a limousine interior and exterior, such as whether or not there is enough room for a wheelchair in the back of the limo.  This ensures that you have a safe trip in your limo.
    • Department of Commerce (DOC):   This department regulates how much money a company is allowed to charge.

    A reputable limousine service will be happy to provide proof of licensing with these state agencies upon request.

    Check References & Reviews from Former Clients

    As with any purchase, it is a good idea to check references and reviews from former clients.  This will give you a better idea as to what type of customer service you can expect from this limousine company.  If they have a website, there should be some reviews posted.  You can also find reviews from former clients by searching online for the company name along with words such as “review” or “complaint”.

    Understand What Kind of Transportation Is Offered by Your Limo Company

    This may seem like something that you don’t need to think about when choosing a limousine company, but it is definitely something you should research before you decide on a company.  There are many different kinds of limousines, such as: 

    • Sedans:  Sedans are a great option for smaller groups of people. They usually have four seats and a partition between the front and back.
    • SUVs:  SUVs are popular for proms because they offer enough room to move around in, while still not being too large or bulky.
    • Limo Buses: Limo buses are roomy and comfortable, making them a fan favorite. They typically can accommodate up to 20 people and come with amenities like refrigerators and flat-screen televisions
    • Trolleys: Trolleys are popular for weddings because they look classy and pulled together. They typically hold up to 30 passengers.

    Other Limo Services Offered by Your Company

    If you are looking for more than just transportation, consider what other services your limo company offers.  Some companies offer packages that include:

    • Hotel accommodations
    • Restaurant reservations
    • Attraction tickets
    • Gift certificates for stores or restaurants, etc.

    The more services that are offered by a company, the more likely they are to be successful and reputable. Typically, this means they have enough business to dedicate time to all of these additional services.

    Check the Limousine Company’s Safety Features

    Your safety should be one of your biggest concerns when choosing a limousine service.  You can look for a reputable limo company by checking the safety features of their cars.  Some things to look for include:

    • Driver – Whether or not the limo company has a chauffeur who is experienced and who you can trust with your life while driving. 
    • Seat Belts – These are required by law, so you will want to make sure that all seat belts are in working order.
    • Airbags – Make sure that there are airbags in the driver’s seat, as well as the front passenger seat.  

    Top-Notch Customer Service

    You should receive top-notch customer service from your limo company. If they seem uninterested in helping you or do not offer their cell phone number so that you can contact them while on the road, it may be time to look for a different company.

    Proper Insurance Coverage

    This does not mean that the company must have commercial liability insurance, although this is recommended. Make sure that your limo company has personal injury protection coverage for passengers. They shouldn’t require you to have your own insurance coverage or small deposit before they will provide their own insurance policies.

    In conclusion, finding a reputable service can be hard, but knowing what to look for will help you find the perfect limousine company.  Follow these tips, and don’t settle for less.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
