A1 Stretch Limo Hire Get The Go-ahead To Start COIF Conversions
A1 Limousine Hire Offer VOSA Approved COIF Conversions


Friday, 30th October, 2009

A1 Stretch Limo Hire have been awarded the stamp of approval by transport authorities to begin Certificate of Initial Fitness conversions of stretch limousines.

Since the introduction of new regulations on October 1st, all limos carrying over 8 passengers must have a COIF if it is to operate legally. The move was brought about to increase passenger safety and VOSA are forcefully imposing the new regulations by carrying out spot-checks and impounding any limos which fall short of the guidelines.

Now A1 Limos can offer you a comprehensive and professional service to get your limousine into tip top condition just in time for the festive party season. All work is carried out at the limo company’s base in Hemel Hempstead. The price to have your Hummer H2 limo converted for full COIF approval is just £18,000. A1 limos and Pinnacle Engineering have teamed up to offer all limousine operators this complex but vital procedure at an affordable rate.

If alternatively, you would like to invest in a limo which is already fully COIF’d then A1 have an extensive range of vehicles in stock which are primed and ready for immediate delivery. They also have some very appealing finance options and with prices starting from just £69,950 for a COIF approved Hummer H2, it’s a very tempting offer.

A1 Stretch Limo Hire have a long and respected history in the luxury transport industry and are an approved agent of Limo Broker.

I assume that these conversions are actually being done with the same parts That Danny uses. Pinnacle is Danny's company.

Lets hope the all Hummers will be COIF soon and the self drive scam is gone for ever, but in the real world most will still be cowboys who dont give a dam

Most stretch limo operators get their comeuppance in the bankruptcy court.

I think the fact that we have teamed up with A1 to double our conversions only shows that theres a lot of limo ops want to become legal now they can.

to date theres just under 40 coif hummers out there and would take a guess at 30 Excursions as in the taxi world theres the people that do it right and theres the people that do it wrong .

No just the evidence of my eyes having been in the business for many years. seen them come, seen them go. Its almost impossible, even here in London, to service the costs involved in buying, running and maintaining a vehicle like that. To get the work you have to do a lot of advertising and that is expensive.

Most end up chasing their tail, or its a front for laundering money from other sources like the one in Wembey who's owner murdered his wife.
