Our Vehicles
We operate a fleet of unmarked, modern and comfortable vehicles, providing protection from public observation, curiosity or confrontation. All our vehicles are fully insured and covered by the appropriate breakdown cover and each is equipped with its own Satellite Navigation system and hands–free communications kit. Safety is paramount in all of our services and each vehicle is well prepared for an emergency. First aid materials, a fire extinguisher and emergency break–down equipment are carried in every vehicle. Our staff have a priority of keeping a young person safe, secure, calm and occupied for what can sometimes be a long journey, therefore entertainment suitable to the age, sex and culture of the child is provided on board.
