1How far in advance should we book our special occasion car?
We don't want to make the answer sound like a sales pitch, but the reality is, that the sooner you book the better choice of vehicle availability you will have. Typically 9 to 15 months is advisable, although we will take bookings up to the end of next year. If your special day is much closer do check as we may still be able to meet your needs.
2How do we make a booking?
Contact us direct using the information on the contacts page where we will discuss and confirm your needs and car availability.
3What deposit is required to book a car?
A deposit of £50 or 15% of the total hire charge, whichever is the greater, is required at the time of booking, the balance being payable four weeks in advance of the special occasion. See full terms and conditions.
4How much will it cost?
It depends on your special occasion requirement and where it is. Every quotation is bespoke to you, ranging from a simple single journey to multi journey multi car events. Prices can be from as little £95. This is inclusive of VAT - so there are no hidden extras!
5What is included in the price?
The car, chauffeur, ribbons and bows in a wide choice of colours and a floral arrangement in the car. In addition to this, all cars carry mineral water, tissues, first aid kit, white umbrellas - and an emergency sewing kit!
6How long do we have the car?
A typical church or registry office wedding is around 3.5 to 4 hours and the car will arrive at the collection address approximately 15 to 20 minutes before the agreed departure time. The car will wait during the ceremony and while photos are taken before transporting you to the reception. The car will stay until the completion of photography at the reception location.
7Is champagne included in the price?
A complimentary half bottle of champagne for between the ceremony and reception (twin venue only) is included for the bride and groom. If you require a full bottle or champagne in a second car then this can be arranged at additional cost.
8Can you take the bridesmaids to the official ceremony first?
It depends on locations. Only if the bridal collection point is within 15 minutes driving time to the official ceremony venue is it practical to make two trips to the church, taking the bridesmaids on the first one. However, even then you should consider that the bridesmaids will have a 30 - 40 minute wait outside the venue. So unless the distance is much less, we would recommend the use of a second car.
9We are having the ceremony and reception at the same venue. What service do you supply?
We do a single venue package designed exactly for this type of celebration. This includes driving the bride from the initial location to the official ceremony venue and the car waiting until the end of the official ceremony and then taking the bride and groom for a short drive. Time is allowed for photography. Please confirm your requirement at time of booking as the service and the subsequent cost can be tailored to exactly what you need.
10Will the car be used for another wedding on the same day?
No. The car is only ever used for one booking per day and is booked exclusively for your use on your special occasion. Multiple events with the same car on the same day can lead to problems and we don't want the possibility of anything spoiling your day.
11I require a car to take us onto another venue at the end of the reception. Can you help?
Yes we do a service called honeymoon departure, which can be used to collect the bride and groom at the end of the reception, either in the evening or on the following day and take them to another location within the area designated on the map. However this service must be arranged no later than at the time of paying any outstanding balance and paid for at that time.
12Can we view your wedding cars?
Yes we love showing off my cars and talking about them, and it's important that you see how well a particular car will suit your individual requirements. Please contact me to arrange an appointment.
13What do your chauffeurs wear?
All drivers will be smartly dressed to suit your occasion, special dress may be accommodated, please discuss this at time of booking.
14Can we smoke in the cars?
Sorry - NO! Smoking is not allowed in any of our cars.
