Before an imported limo can be registered, it has to satisfy the DVLA that it complies fully with stringent EU type approval safety tests. In the past,  Hummer limos have been unable to comply with this safety test for a number of reasons and have been registered in many different ways in order to avoid these safety tests.

At Jet Set Limousines, we believe first and foremost in passenger safety and have never looked at skirting these important safety issues. Rather than buy a Hummer that does not fully comply, we decided to work with the coachbuilders agents to supply a Hummer limo which does comply. And last Friday (September 7th 2007), our brand new Hummer sailed through it’s SVA test.

This is exciting news for the whole industry and means that the new H3 Hummer limo will take pride of place as the centrepeice on Krystal UK’s trade stand at the European Limousine and Chauffeur show being held at the NEC next week.

Immediately after the show, we will finally bring the car back to Blackpool in Lancashire where it will join the rest of our limo fleet.

 The vehicle is available for hire from 22/9/07 onwards

Fylde Borough council have issued Jet Set Limousines the first ever liquor licence to be granted to a limo hire company in Blackpool or the Fylde.

Owner Kevin Hinds said, “We are obviously delighted with the news. It’s good news for our clients too as the police have been clamping down on other local limo hire firms. It means that Jet Set limousine hirers can relax and enjoy a drink knowing that they are safe to do so.”

A Fylde borough council spokesperson said ” Jet Set Limousines are the first private hire limo company that we know of to have successfully applied for and been granted a private hire licence and an alcohol licence. We wish all other limo firms in the UK were run like Jet Set who are setting the standards for rest of the industry to follow”.

Jet Set were of course the first local limo operator to be awarded a local authority private hire licence at the turn of the millennium.

Clients and members of the public throughout Lancashire and the whole of the UK have been voting like crazy all year for their favourite chauffeurs and Jet Set Limousines based near Blackpool & Preston in Lancashire has been very strongly supported.

There are thousands of chauffeurs throughout the UK but it would appear that the Jet Set chauffeurs are rated most highly by the voting public.

Blackpool based Kate Bethel has received so many votes that she joins her colleague Patrick Cuddihy in the final. There has never before been a company to have 2 chauffeurs represented in what is usually a 4 or 5 person industry final so we are hopeful that one of the pair may win.

Whoever wins it is an unprecedented achievement and we are extremely proud of them both.
