Regulation & Safety
Safety is non-negotiable
Transporting passengers comes with a particular responsibility. At Azur Evasion, safety guides the organisation of every service, from initial planning through to arrival at the final destination.
Our modern fleet undergoes rigorous and regular technical monitoring in our workshops. Our operations teams, mechanics and drivers work closely together to anticipate maintenance requirements and ensure vehicle availability.
Before setting off, our drivers carry out the necessary safety checks and report any issues. They also receive regular training to keep pace with developments in vehicles, equipment and regulations.
Compliance with driving times, rest periods and working-hour limits is an integral part of how we plan our services. Our operations teams factor these requirements into every assignment and work with our clients whenever their programme needs to be adjusted accordingly.
Our 24/7 on-call service also ensures that our teams remain available to respond in the event of an unexpected situation.
Because a successful journey begins with a journey that is fully under control.
Our company is very attached to respecting social regulations and is committed to them (duty hours, driving time, daily and weekly rest, etc).
We ask our customers to take into consideration, for the realization of their trips, the social regulations applicable to coach drivers and detailed below :
