Limousine Buying Guide Do you want to buy a stretch limousine and start your own business? There are a few things you should know before you commit yourself as they could save you a whole lot of grief!

The only way in which a car or limousine can be hired out without one of the following three licences is when it is being used exclusively for either a wedding or funeral. The licences that can be obtained, depending on the seating capacity of the vehicle, are a Private Hire Vehicle (PHV) Licence normally issued by a local authority, a Standard Public Service Vehicle (PSV) Operators Licence or a Restricted PSV Operators Licence.Up to 8 passenger seats: In order to legally use a motor vehicle whether it be a car, people carrier or a limousine for private hire or Hire
