On October 6, 2018, 17 close friends just wanted to have a memorable birthday party at an upstate New York brewery. The first bus they hired broke down before arrival and they got a stretch limo as a last-minute replacement. Unfortunately, the driver lost control at a dangerous T-intersection in Schoharie, New York and crashed into an unoccupied SUV. All 18 people in the limo lost their lives, along with two bystanders.
This tragic incident has become a topic discussion among the lawmakers. There are now considerations to formulate more regulations on limousines to ensure the safety for its users and the public. Customers of limo companies equally want to know if their safety will not be compromised. In this light, we implore our customers not to panic. At Pontarelli, we take safety very seriously and follow good practices to safeguard our clients’ well-being and welfare.
Professional Chauffeurs
Our chauffeurs go through stringent background checks before they are hired. They are screened for personal and commercial certifications, criminal record, drug and alcohol, and DMV. Once hired, our chauffeurs are given classroom and field training on safe driving skills, customer relations, and defensive driving skills. This ensures that our customers have a capable chauffeur behind the wheel at all times.

Pontarelli owns an excellent fleet of modern vehicles, regularly serviced to keep them in excellent condition. We discard vehicles once they develop persistent mechanical issues.
