So, do your homework! Gain advice before buying a limo London. From the second you speak to a limousine London dealer, how interested are they to listen to your needs? Are they interested in selling you the limo that you want or the limo that they want to sell? Are they interested in providing you with the cheapest price to gain your money or do they go through options in order for you to get the best value for your investment? Does the dealer have a professional premises or running it out of a back yard?

You should know that to operate a limousine through Central London, it must be licensed by the Public Carriage Office, as the rules for operating within London are different from the rest of the country. If a limousine is operated from outside of London, but travels through London as part of a specific hire contract, it must still adhere to the operation rules relevant to the part of the UK they originally came from. In the past, it was possible to register a stretched limousine without the need for an SVA, simply by registering the vehicle as a 10 seat limousine. This is no longer possible.

If you wish to apply for a voluntary SVA find out whether or not the vehicle was built by a coachbuilder, who was approved, at the time of manufacture, by the vehicle manufacturer.

The most popular limousine hire London (see limo types here  www.booklimo.co.uk ) is the Ford Lincoln and this should have been built by a coachbuilder that was an authorised QVM (Lincoln Qualified Vehicle Modifier) coachbuilder.
Another limo hire London, very rare in the UK is the Cadillac ; they have their own program CMC (Cadillac Master Coachbuilder).

Provided the limousine hire London was built by an approved QVM or CMC coachbuilder, then an SVA should not be particularly difficult. However, it should be remembered, that as with any test, no two examiners are likely to have the same opinion of each and every issue. Compliance, therefore, will always be fraught with inconsistencies.
