Check licensing through the relevant authority using the operator’s published business details. A chauffeur label is not a separate guarantee of licensing or vehicle suitability.

Separate the records
Operator, driver and vehicle licences serve different purposes. Use official records and ask the operator about the booked service if anything is unclear.
Check the journey too
Licensing does not establish luggage capacity, accessible equipment or a particular model. Confirm these practical requirements in the booking.
