The number of urban hire cars has increased rapidly, leading to price competition. However, safety, maintenance, compensation and the working environment tend to be undercut by cheap prices. As a specialist operator of sightseeing taxis and jumbo taxis, we ensure strict legal compliance and operational management, and provide "transport that can be entrusted to your loved ones with peace of mind".
Five points that are often sacrificed on the back of cheapness
- Shortened training and education Omitting essential geography, safety and hospitality training can lead to a lack of experience and safety awareness.
- Postponement of vehicle maintenance If replacement standards for tyres, brakes and various equipment are set back, the risk of breakdowns and accidents increases.
- Minimising coverage (insurance). Lack of voluntary insurance and maximum limits for bodily injury and property is insufficient compensation in the event of an emergency.
- Long working hours for drivers Overcrowded shifts take away attention and increase near-misses.
- Formalities of operational management. If roll call, alcohol checks and physical condition checks are omitted, the risk increases dramatically.
Our 'safety first' commitment.
- All crew members have a second-class licence Only professionals with experience and hospitality in tourist transfers take the wheel.
- Legal compliance and transparency Properly maintained business licence, operation management system and insurance details. Roll call and alcohol checks are carried out on every flight.
- Planned maintenance of all vehicles Stricter daily inspections + regular maintenance. Tyres, brakes and consumables replaced ahead of standards.
- Adequate insurance and indemnity regimes It provides extensive coverage for bodily injury to persons, property and passengers to prepare for any eventuality.
- Sound labour management Ensure rest periods and prevent fatigued driving. Safety starts with driver health.
- Tourism Quality From airport transfers to sightseeing itineraries, time management and route design ensure "safety, comfort and reliability".
Comparative checklist (items to be checked in advance)
- Is the second class licence available/is the training content publicly available?
- Conducting roll call, alcohol checks and physical condition checks
- Maintenance records, tyre and brake replacement standards.
- Voluntary insurance limits for bodily injury, property and passengers.
- Management of drivers' working and rest times
Do not decide on price alone. The availability of hard-to-see safety investments is a deciding factor because of the transport of your loved ones.

Cheapness is attractive, but there are some things that should not be cut back. We spare no expense in investing in "safety, maintenance, compensation and labour". You can rely on us for sightseeing, airport and group transfers.
