Decide first what the car needs to do: a showpiece arrival for the couple, transport for the bridal party, or a coach to move guests between the ceremony and reception. Vintage and classic cars suit a traditional look, but check how far they will travel and whether there is a backup vehicle. For guest transport, a coach is often the safest way to keep everyone together and on time.
Confirm the number of cars or seats, how long the supplier stays, the area they cover, and whether decoration and a uniformed driver are included.
Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should I book wedding transport?
Six to twelve months is typical, and longer for popular vintage cars in peak season. Book once your venue and times are confirmed.
Should I hire a coach for my guests?
If guests are travelling between a church and a separate reception, or staying away from the venue, a coach keeps everyone together and removes the worry of parking and taxis. Many couples book one for the evening return too.
What is usually included with a wedding car?
Most packages include the car, a driver, ribbons and decoration, and a set number of hours. Confirm travel distance, waiting time and whether a second trip is included when you enquire.
Can one supplier provide both cars and a coach?
Many transport suppliers offer both, which can simplify booking and timing. Ask when you enquire so the whole day is covered by one company.
