It's limo season! Be sure the limousine service you hire is licensed with the state

April 1, 2008 - - Proms, weddings and graduations, oh my! It's the season when many people are thinking about renting a limousine for these special events, and if you do, be a smart consumer and make sure the service is licensed with the State of Michigan.

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) cautions limo users that to make your event extra special, use one of Michigan's quality limo services, always check references, and be sure the company is licensed.

Limousine operators in Michigan are required to be licensed, carry sufficient liability insurance, and undergo annual safety inspections on all their vehicles.

Remember that a simple advertisement in the phone book or newspaper does not guarantee that the operator is licensed. Limousine operators who are not licensed are in violation of state law and subject to fines and possible imprisonment.

To find out if the limousine service you plan to use is licensed by the state, call MDOT's Passenger Transportation Bureau at 517-241-0680 or 517-241-0679 (from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday; and 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday), or visit MDOT's Web site at www.michigan.gov/mdot. On the home page, under "Favorite Links," click on "Bus and Limo Licenses," then select "Current List of Carriers." If you do not see a limousine service listed, it is likely that the operator is providing service illegally and should not be hired.
