  I recall reading this somewhere but I can't remember what source. Anyway, just to share with you guys.

  If you want to be in the limousine trade, you have to go thru the proper channels, 

  1)register a company with ACRA

  2)the vehicle that you purchased must be the property of your company

  3)have to buy the correct and appropriate insurance to cover your passengers.

  It is not just buying a private car and doubling it as a limousine. If you are caught, it carries a penalty....

  I was told that incidents involved the Alphards were contracted to the IRs.

  They (the contractor) required a number of Alphards on standby everyday, minimum 10 hrs daily.. Upon payment after a few months, they wanted to see the original copies of the comprehensive insurance policies.... which many do not have....hence, failed to claim the revenue (work for free for that couple of months)...

  then.. followed by the Insurance.

  It must be a Comprehensive Insurance for the business nature of our trade.

  No proof, but basically, they are risking, if they get into an accident, no insurance will cover !!!
