London “limousine” is usually long-wheelbase
Private and corporate clients mean rear privacy, formal presentation, and a known registration — not an unlicensed stretch from a classified ad. Insist on photos, plate, and TfL PHV compliance before a wedding or gala.
Mixed fleets at an event — one licensed limousine and two random PHV cars — read as disorganisation to guests and security alike.
Wedding and private events
Bridal and parent cars often need ribbon policy agreed in advance, boot space for flowers, and kerb timing tied to photography — not “whenever the driver arrives”.
Pair with wedding guest V-Class shuttles so VIPs travel in the saloon while wider family groups stay in one standard.
Corporate VIP and airport presentation
Use long-wheelbase for visiting chairperson arrivals at Heathrow with meet & greet — hall to kerb without crowds. Same vehicle standard for embassy dinners maintains brand parity.
Quote clarity
Hours, venue waiting, Saturday overtime, and whether second cars follow for luggage. UHNW bookings should have a named driver mobile before the event, not only dispatch.
