Hiring of Monaros for Weddings & Formals - Wed 02 Nov 2005 09:25:PM
As we always get a lot of requests for us to hire out cars for weddings and formals, I thought we should point out our position on this matter.<br /><br />As far as the Police and the Monaro Club of Qld goes, it is illegal for members to hire their cars for such events.<br /><br />With limosene companies paying thousands of dollars for licences for hire vehicles out, it is understandable that they get a little upset when we do this and it costs us nothing. They have even taken to ringing the police and dobbing us in if they see us.<br /><br />We are potentially looking at a $10,000 fine if caught hiring our vehicles to people. It also poses a problem if the members car is on Limited Club Registration. This means that as well as the above fine, they are also looking at being done for unregistered and un-insured vehicle being that the car is only suppose to be driven to club outings and car shows.<br /><br />We do have a couple of members who may be willing to take that risk but it is against club policy and they do so at their own risk.<br /><br />If you are looking for a car for a wedding or a formal, please feel free to leave a message under this heading and a member from the club may or may not contact you through email.<br /><br />We understand that these cars are highly sought after for this purpose and regret that we are unable to help the public out but as you can understand, it is a lot of risk for $100 pocket money.
