CONSUMER ALERT - MAKE SURE PROM LIMO IS REGISTERED

DENVER -- With the arrival of prom and graduation season, many students will be renting luxury limousines to carry them in style to spring dances and parties. Customers of luxury limousine services should choose carefully to avoid any problems.

Luxury limousine companies are required by law to register their vehicles with the Public Utilities Commission. Registration ensures that the companies have obtained the proper amount of insurance, and that the vehicles have been inspected for safety. The PUC does not regulate the rates of luxury limousine companies.

Anyone wanting to check whether a luxury limousine company is properly registered, or who has any questions about limousine service, may call the PUC at 303-894-2867 or 303-894-2848 or search on-line at www.dora.state.co.us/pls/real/PUC_Permit.Search_Form.
