The preferred type of wedding car is likely to relate to the theme or aesthetic of the special day. While the style of the car is important, there are also several other things that need to be considered. Let’s take a look at the top five things to consider when hiring a wedding car:
Know the costs
The actual cost of renting a wedding car is influenced by a variety of factors. The basic cost of hiring a fierce Aston Martin V12 or Bentley from the 1940s is pretty similar, but there are other things that will determine the total cost of the rental. For example, the cost may be affected by the amount of time contracted, the time of day, and the total mileage covered during the day.
Book in advance
The timing of the wedding will influence how far in advance the arrangements will need to be made. If the wedding is scheduled for a Saturday in August, arrangements should be made well in advance. However, for the midweek wedding in November, there is likely to be more flexibility and a greater chance of finding the right car, even if you don’t book right away.
Use a chauffeured car
Most companies will automatically include a driver without the option to decline this service. However, there will be far fewer mistakes when a professional driver can be trusted. They will be aware of the entire process and make sure they follow the correct routes to get to the ceremony or reception on time.
Add decorations
The rental company may include car decorations as a standard part of the package. However, it is worth checking to see if there is an option to choose the preferred style or color of decorations. Most companies offer this option, but it is worth checking if there is a real need to match a specific topic. Additionally, the service may include a variety of wedding extras, such as a bottle of champagne for the happy couple to enjoy as they travel to the reception.
How many cars
The number of cars required varies from small to large weddings. Beyond the most common option of organizing transportation for the bride and groom, there are others to consider such as parents, bridesmaids, children, and grandparents. It is possible to rent cars for repeat trips and reduce the total number needed. Also, it will be necessary to plan certain things in advance, such as a car seat for children.
