The organisers of Royal Ascot 2008 have announced the dates in June 2008. These are Tuesday 17th June until Saturday 21st June, Ladies Day will be on Thursday 19th June. Of course, Royal Ascot is the UK’s most popular race meeting and, it is also the time of the year when most limousine companies are fully booked, often months in advance. In addition, there have been changes within the Licensing regime covering limousine operators, as a result, it is likely that there will be fewer limousines available in 2008, than there were in 2007, so this year, perhaps more than any previous year, the mantle ‘book early to avoid disappointment’ has never more relevant.

 

In 2008, every limousine company in the UK will have to be licensed for ‘hire or reward’, some have already achieved this and others are currently going through the process. But why leave it to chance. Cars for Stars is a national company operating through local franchised offices. Each franchise is already licensed by their local authority for private hire and in the case of London, by the Public Carriage Office. Cars for Stars has an impressive range of chauffeur driven cars and limousines for hire, as well as a limousine hire package for Royal Ascot. The Licensing regime means that the company, limousines and the chauffeurs have to be Licensed, providing customers with the added confidence that an independent third party is providing some oversight, against measurable and tangible standards.
