All our stunning fleet of 8 passenger Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger limousines are licenced by our local council, Castle Point Borough Council in Essex. Our Operators Licence badge number is 069. This can be confirmed by checking on their website or telephone them directly. Our huge Grand Illusion Party Bus limousines are licenced by the Ministry of Transport Operators Licence.
