Useful information

First, some words about the safety of our passengers, which is our absolute priority. As it is known, it depends on many factors, but in our opinion the most important of them is the professionalism and experience of the drivers. Our company is based on the same, proven team of drivers who have years of experience and have never broken any traffic rules. We always make sure that before every trip the drivers have sufficient time to rest and prepare for the journey.

Another important element that affects the safety of the passengers is the technical condition of the car. In this respect, the most important is to ensure the proper condition of the tires, the brake system, and the steering and suspension systems. The vehicles that we use, Volkswagen Caravelles and Multivans, have many modern technical solutions and systems which guarantee a high level of security. These include, among other things, airbags and seat belts, ABS, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), front fog lights with cornering function, etc.

Many of these factors affect driving comfort as well, but the VW Comfort Line Caravelles and the Multivans that we use also feature a range of facilities to ensure that travel with us will allow the passengers to get to their destination in a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. The most important of these features are large and comfortable seats, a three-zone Climatronic air conditioning system, Wi-Fi, as well as modern audio-DVD equipment, thanks to which the passengers can listen to music and watch movies while travelling.

Keeping in mind driving safety, special attention should be paid to children, especially since they themselves often will not ask to ensure them safe travel conditions.

The Polish provision concerning safe transport of children reads: „In a motor vehicle equipped with seat belts a child under the age of 12, not exceeding 150 cm in height, shall be transported in a protective car seat or another device for transporting children, corresponding to the weight and height of the child and the appropriate technical conditions”.

Child seats have several functions in the car. During the drive they do not allow the children to move around the interior of the car and protect them against the effects of sudden braking or turning maneuvers. In the event of an accident or collision the seats serve a protective function for the children, making it possible to reduce the consequences of a collision, to delay the movement of the children, and to distribute the forces released during an accident over a larger area and target them on the stronger parts of the body (the chest and the pelvis).

When speaking about transporting children in cars another very important provision of the Road Traffic should be mentioned: „The driver is prohibited from transporting a child under the age of 12 years in the front seat of a motor vehicle, except for a special safety chair.” If there is no possiblity to place a child seat in the vehicle, the child must not be carried in the front seat. „The driver is forbidden to carry a child in a safety seat with its back to the direction of the drive in the front seat of a motor vehicle equipped with an airbag” – a provision which protects children against the negative effects of an airbag.
