Watch the Long Island Limousine Association on News 12 Long Island urging the public to only hire licensed and insured operators.

Legally licensed vehicle operators require background checks, driving record reviews, and registration with its respective county’s Department of Consumer Affairs, and New York State Department of Transportation, ensuring drivers have the necessary requirements to operate a vehicle safely. They are often held to higher standards of conduct and customer service, providing a more professional and reliable experience. Perhaps the greatest benefit of hiring a licensed operator is that they are required to maintain adequate livery insurance coverage, protecting you and your loved ones from potential liability in case of an accident.

Unfortunately, unlicensed operators are infiltrating social media pages, including “mom groups,” and unsuspecting residents are hiring them. These types of posts are frequently responded to across social media platforms with recommendations of unlicensed operators. Unlicensed vehicle operators can put you at serious risk. They do not carry proper livery insurance, are not required to comply with a background check, and are not required to carry safety equipment such as fire extinguishers. If there is an accident the passenger has no recourse.

You can report unlicensed vehicle operators by calling the tip line at 631-944-8448.
