Stay Safe with Legal Transportation Services!
Recently, there's been an increase in illegal transportation companies in the area. Protect yourself—if an accident occurs, you may not be covered by their insurance!
When choosing a transportation service, here's what to look for to ensure your ride is safe and legal:
1. Commercial Plates: Look for vehicles with commercial or livery plates. These indicate that the vehicle is registered for commercial use, which is a legal requirement for providing transportation services.
2. Commercial Auto Insurance: Make sure they have commercial auto insurance.
3. Vehicle Inspections: Verify regular state safety inspections which is a legal requirement for commercial passenger transportation vehicles. (Stickers in windshield)
4. Registered Business: Confirm the company is registered with the state.
Why is this important?
- Insurance Coverage: Only legal operators can guarantee insurance coverage in an accident.
- Safety and Reliability: Licensed operators adhere to safety standards.
- Supporting Fair Practices: Choosing legal operators supports a fair marketplace where all providers follow the same rules and invest in maintaining high standards. This helps ensure that the transportation industry remains safe and trustworthy.
Before booking your next ride, verify these key elements for your safety and to support ethical business practices!
