			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Does size matter? It’s the age old question isn’t it, but I think we can answer it here if we put our heads together, don’t you? What do you think – is a smaller limousine more romantic because of the intimate atmosphere it creates, or is a big 20 seater party bus just as romantic if the company is right?</p>
<p>You can see why people would think that a smaller, more intimate limousine is better for creating a romantic atmosphere as you have little choice but to sit right next to your partner and the smaller interior of the limousine can make you feel more private and secluded – less cavernous shall we say?</p>
<p>But then there is the mood lighting which you can play with in the larger super stretch limousines which you don’t often get in the smaller ones. Plus there is plenty of room to stretch out in a larger limousine, not to mention you can feel like you’re further away from the chauffeur and therefore more private.</p>
<p>So is the size debate just a personal preference then?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So how do you feel about being charged extra for additional drop off points during your limousine hire ride? Well, drop offs or pick ups – say you’re organising a girl’s night out and want to pick up each of your friends in a limousine from their doorstep, and drop them home again at the end of the night, do you get a certain number of drop offs included and then there is an extra charge for extra stops?</p>
<p>Some <a title="Limo Hire" href="http://www.hirelimos.com/" target="_blank">limo hire companies</a> have a specific number of stopping points in their standard hire contract, and when you ask to go over that number, an extra charge applies. Now this is fair enough if the additional stops are geographically out of the way of the chauffeur’s normal route, but if all the chauffeur has to do is stop, get out and open and close the door, then this shouldn’t cost you any more.</p>
<p>However, at the same time, you can’t expect to get everything for nothing and if your chauffeur has to crisscross through the city picking up and dropping off you and your friends, this is going to cost you more than an uninterrupted run.</p>
<p>What is your view to this?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a title="limo shop" href="http://www.limoblog.co.uk/" target="_blank"><img class="alignright" style="float: right;" src="http://images.websnapr.com/?&amp;key=Hcg9p38iN5mv&amp;url=http://www.limoshop.co.uk" alt="Limo Shop" width="202" height="152" /></a>Limo Shop</strong> is delighted to announce the launch of a brand new state-of-the-art <strong>limo hire</strong> comparison website. As the limousine industry’s longest established online enquiry service it was important that <strong>Limo Shop</strong> addressed both the needs of the consumer and the limo operator in 2009. With a wealth of experience in the industry we strongly believe that fairness is the way forward. So if we are able to help increase the awareness of the benefits of limo hire and show the consumers what sort of choice they really have by putting them in touch with their <strong>local operators</strong>, we’re doing our job properly.</p>
<p>We’re great believers in <strong>stretched limos</strong> and feel that they’re one of the truly fun things to do and for everybody to enjoy. By promoting freedom of choice to the consumer we feel he will be more likely to book if he can make an informed decision based on a range of <strong>companies</strong>, services, <strong>limos and prices</strong>. That way he’s more likely to feel comfortable with his purchasing decision the first time round which will hopefully make him more likely to book on future occasions. <strong>Limo hire</strong> is not cheap but it can be very cost effective if explained properly to the consumer so that he sees how he can get value for money.</p>
<p>For example somebody might feel he can’t afford a two way hire because he imagines it will be double the cost of a one way hire. So he books a one way hire for, say £250. Later on his party have to struggle home from the city by train and cab costing them another £100. Had he kept the same limo it might only have cost him another £100 because he would not have incurred the original set up costs again. Had he known that he would have kept the limo and felt much better about the whole <strong>limo experience</strong> that evening, and he would be far more likely to book again. This is where we feel that when we bring the consumers to the independent operators both parties are likely to enter into a dialogue where the consumer actually gets better value and the operator actually gets more hires – “Win win” wouldn’t you say?</p>
<p>Firstly though there’s the problem of the consumer actually sitting down and trying to <strong>find limo hire</strong> <strong>companies nearby</strong> and the type of <strong>stretched limousine</strong> and package he wants ! As this can be quite a challenge we’ve tried to make it easy for him. He just needs to fill in one simple enquiry form we will ensure that it is sent off instantly to independent <strong>limo hire companies</strong> operating in his area. They will then respond as quickly as possible with a range of independent, comparible quotes, giving him the chance to choose which type of <strong>limo hire</strong> is best for him. This will not only help him find the best value for money, but also save him a lot of time and hassle finding and contacting these <strong>limo companies</strong> yourself. Or coming across a “smooth talking” middle man. Instead, once he hits the Go Compare button he can sit back and wait for the quotes to come in. What could be simpler?</p>
<p>If you would like any further information please fill in our enquiry form or go to the Contact Us section of this website. Thank you for visiting Limo Shop. We wish you hope you find the limousine and the company you really want.</p>
<p>Visit Limoshop now for details.</p>

<p>In the limo industry there&#8217;s also competetion in who&#8217;s top of the first page when customers search for &#8220;limo hire&#8221; and limobroker.co.uk have dominated the 1st position for over 2 years running&#8230; Until Now!</p>
<p>Recently a website has managed to knocked Limobroker.co.uk off the top position to take 1st. <a href="http://www.5StarLimos.co.uk">www.5StarLimos.co.uk</a> has been around since 2003, making the site over 2 years older than limo broker..</p>
<p><strong>Will this be a long term result for 5 Star Limos?</strong></p>

<p>SEX offenders are taking jobs as limousine chauffeurs so they can target young girls, Wales’ top public road transport official claimed today.</p>
<p>Traffic Commissioner Nick Jones said sting operations revealed drivers who were on the sex offenders’ register.</p>
<p>Mr Jones said: “The police and VOSA (Vehicle Operator and Standards Agency) have told me that when they undertake checks on stretch limousines, very often they find people on the sex offenders’ register.</p>
<p>“Stretch limousines have become popular for end-of-term proms, so you get young girls aged 14 to 15. Sometimes they are plied with alcohol, and sometimes the drivers choose to be drivers because it is an opportunity to have a pop at the girls. It’s a cause for concern.”</p>
<p>Mr Jones spoke to the Echo as he launched a crackdown on the vehicles as their popularity soars in South Wales.</p>
<p>He said a safety campaign in the US five years ago, which included tighter regulation and safety checks, forced many stretch limousines off American roads. He fears some were shipped to Britain where the novelty value of hiring a limousine for the night was just starting to kick off.</p>
<p>“A lot of vehicles are inherently dangerous. Many people have chosen to operate outside the law,” said Mr Jones.</p>
<p>“Across England and Wales 10 years ago there were four stretch limousines. Now one senior policeman has told me there are 40,000. A lot are unregulated and illegal.</p>
<p>“A large number are here because they were deemed unsafe to run in America.”</p>
<p>He said the current lack of regulation could even prove tempting to money launderers who could buy into limousine businesses.</p>
<p>He added that some of the vehicles were not properly insured and had not undergone road safety checks.</p>
<p>Mr Jones said: “There is legislation relating to private hire vehicles and taxis which is undertaken by local authorities and there are regulations relating to public service vehicles which are undertaken by traffic commissioners. But stretch limousines are neither one nor the other. The law is so complicated.”</p>
<p>Mr Jones is taking the UK lead on studying limousine regulation and his findings could form part of a shake-up in transport laws.</p>
<p>Vehicles carrying up to eight passengers should be licensed by councils, whereas limos with bigger capacities fall under Mr Jones’ responsibility.</p>
<p>The plans were welcomed by limo operator Richard Singleton, of Coychurch, Bridgend, who has 15 vehicles in his fleet, Singleton’s Limousines.</p>
<p>He said today: “All our drivers go through Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks because we don’t want anyone who has been convicted, especially sex offenders.</p>
<p>“When they apply we tell them they will be checked. You would be surprised how many say they don’t want the job because they know something will flash up.</p>
<p>“We don’t want any paedophiles dealing with kids, and kids are 50% of our business.”</p>
<p>Mr Singleton also welcomed the crackdown on rogue companies, saying: “It will get all the rubbish cars off the road.”</p>
<p>South Wales Police’s head of public protection, Detective Superintendent Martyn Jones, said: “Under Government legislation there are vetting processes in place in relation to the licensing of taxi drivers.</p>
<p>“When a taxi driver applies for a licence they are subject to Criminal Records Bureau checks, carried out by the relevant police force, whereby previous convictions and any relevant information is disclosed to licensing authorities who decide whether drivers are suitable.</p>
<p>“South Wales Police also carry out regular operations and checks to target potential unlicensed taxi drivers in conjunction with local authorities and Trading Standards and take positive action where drivers are found to be unlicensed.</p>
<p>“We would always urge passengers to use reputable, licensed companies.”</p>
