So, what makes a limousine a limousine? Most of us don’t know. Thankfully, this question has been answered in a convenient article by Limobroker, a limo hire booking service.Limousines don’t neccessarily have to be stretched vehicles. However, it appears that one defining feature of these vehicles is that they are driven by a chauffeur.
The vehicle name has always been steeped in class — even back to the days where it was used to refer to the roofed horse carts that the upper classes were being driven around in.
The modern limo we know today found its origins in the extension of a traditional family saloon car, with the sole aim of carrying more passengers. Today we’d call these MPVs — not necessarily long vehicles but built to carry more passengers than the average family car.
Today, the public sees the limousine as the ultimate luxury vehicle — not a practical people carrier. Of course, if you’re a chuaffeur it’s likely you know all of this. No matter what type of limousine you drive, it is essential to find a chauffeur insurance policy that is right for you.
