Hello all, new PH driver here so dont jump down my throat... these might be daft questions but we all start somewhere ey Basically, work round here is a bit slow so im applying for planning permition and an operators license so i can take my own bookings via a website advertising on yell/google etc.. ive had a lot of people asking me about airport runs/long distance work and i had a bloke in from universal music the other day asking if we had any luxury cars to ferry about some pop star from denmark.. Anyway it got me thinking, i run a good old Octavia but was wondering if there is anyway i could hire People carriers/Luxury cars etc for jobs? common sense tells me that i couldn't just hire a car from Hertz or whatever because it wouldn't be plated or insured for hire and reward. Im sure there are all sorts of licensing and legal reasons why i wouldn't be able to do this but at least you can put me out of my misery and tell me why. cheers lads |

Every vehicle that is used for 'hire and reward' work needs to be licensed. Be that an Octavia or a top of the range Merc. Doesn't apply to Weddings and Funerals, but everything else it does. As for renting a nice motor from Hertz etc, pretty sure their conditions prohibit 'hire and reward' hirings. |
