BE
SAFE: Use a Fully Licensed Operator...
- KGC
Group, and subsidiary companies, LondonAirConnections.com, FlyingPurplePig.co.uk,
LondonToursandTransfers.com are operated by a fully Licensed London
Private Hire Operator.
- Licensing
in London is by the London Public Carriage Office, part of Transport
for London, Metropolitan Police Force and the Mayors Office.
- Even
our owner/operator is inspected by the PCO, as
are all journey records.
- All insurance certificates and driver
records have to be produced during these inspections.
- This PCO
inspection is a deeper check than any other area in the UK and
means that when booking with us you are safer than booking with
any company based outside of London.
- All
Drivers are fully licensed, have had criminal record checks by the
metropolitan police and have passed fitness medicals.
- All
cars used by us are inspected and tested by Ministry
of Transport every six months.
- Basic
checks are done daily on our vehicles, including tyre wear,
damage checks and internal inspection for cleanliness.

SAFETY
NOTICE: To keep yourself safe...
- Don't
use unlicensed companies or individual drivers.
- Make
sure you book through a licensed operator - not through an individual
driver.
- Bookings
made directly through a Private Hire Driver are illegal and also invalidate
any insurance cover!
- Do
not use any UK company if you can't find a contact address or you
can only find a telephone number that starts with '07' (UK Mobile/Cell
phone number) as they are operating illegally!
- All
legitimate UK based companies are required to give full contact details,
including addresses, and most give a land-line telephone number!
WARNING: Last year over 150 women were sexually assaulted in illegal
taxi's in the whole of the UK.
Get
a license number from anyone offering you Taxi rides, Airport
Transfers, Minicab Journeys, Chauffeur or Private Hire. This is especially important if booked on the internet! Get an address too, in case of complaint.
BE
SURE: Check before you book!
You
can check any taxi or Private Hire Operator on the following PCO website
