Legal

Licensing:

A California Public Utilities (P.U.C.) license is required by the State of California for a company that transports passengers for hire. Any company transporting passengers within California that does not have a P.U.C. license is operating illegally, and therefore, breaking the law. The P.U.C. license protects you. If you are utilizing the services of an unlicensed passenger transportation company, you may be liable in the case of an accident. A P.U.C. License ensures that a company has, as a minimum, at least $750,000 in vehicle liability insurance and has workers compensation insurance. There are many illegal passenger transportation companies operating in California, especially, within the Southern California area. As a safeguard, you should call the local P.U.C. office at (213) 576-7100 and verify the licensing status of your current or potential vendors. Karmel Connect is not a passenger transportation service and therefore is not required to have a P.U.C. license.
