President Obama’s New Cadillac-‘The Beast’

President Obama arrived in London yesterday with a cavalcade of vehicles so large that they were unable to all actually get inside Downing Strret!

Obama’s new Presidential Limousine has been custom-designed to protect the his life with updated security features which are kept securely under wraps. It of course has elements such as run flat tyres and the doors are as thick as a 747’s.

Inside luxury exudes from all quarters making this limousine truly ‘fit for purpose’. While the security of the Barrack and Michelle Obama is paramount during their visit to the UK one has to wonder just how many thousands of dollars it must have cost to bring the entire motorcade into the country?

With the one Cadillac costing $250K the entire fleet would run into hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many will argue that these are not the most fuel efficient vehicles to be driving around in with the current global economic situation, not to mention the affects this fleet will be making on the environment.

This new presidential Cadillac is nick named ‘The Beast’ by the US Secret Service, which seems very apt for a vehicle of this size.

You may not have a vehicle quite as high tech as ‘The Beast’ but if you own a fleet of luxury limousines probably the most cost effective way to insure them is with a fleet insurance policy. This can be tailored to meet the needs of each of the luxury cars you own and operate, with many optional extras such as European cover should your fleet operate on the continent as well as in the UK.
