Limousine Safety Requirements
Not every limousine company adheres to the safety regulations that are required by the industry. When they do not, they put every single passenger at risk. Below are some things that you need to know about limousine safety.
- Your selected limousine company should be registered with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). You can verify that this is the case by calling 800-894-9444.
- Ask the limousine company if they routinely drug test their drivers. Any company that truly cares about their passengers will do this.
- Do not leave valuables in the limousine.
- It is against the law for there to be alcohol in a limousine in which there are passengers under 21 years of age. This is for the safety of the passengers.
