Horsebox hire company checking

[daydreamer]

hi, I want to get my lad out and about and have found a local horse box hire "company". As far as I can make out it is just someone hiring their box out. They have just been doing it since May so not many reviews etc.

Their website says they have insurance and breakdown cover but is there any way to check this? Also are there any other questions I should ask or things I should check? I've never had my own transport so don't know too much about these things.

(I could use a more established company but they are further away and much more expensive, obviously I would though if safety was in question!)

Thanks

Do they have a license for hiring their vehicle out?

I’m not sure, I presumed so. Is there any way I can check?

You should be able to check on line - perhaps via your local council. But you can certainly ask the box owner for proof.
