Six Things To Consider When Choosing A Wedding Car For Hire

Six Things To Consider When Choosing A Wedding Car For Hire-Chispa MagazineIf you are like most couples and you’d like celebrating your big day in style, then having a swanky car to take you to your wedding ceremony is definitely not a bad idea. Imagine the look on people’s faces when they see the beautiful bride or handsome groom come out of the car ready to make the most dreadful commitment of their lives.

I kid.

Choosing a car to hire on your wedding day sounds fun –and it is! It’s like being Cinderella and you’re given another chance to choose a better ride instead of that pumpkin carriage. Pretend shopping for a car is fun but the ease of doing this can be overwhelming since there are so many models and styles to choose from. To make your selection process easier, we discuss below some of the things that you need to consider before booking.

  1. Who’s going to ride in it?

Is it just the bride? The bride and the groom? The bride, bridesmaids, and groomsmen? You may need to hire more wedding cars if you have several people coming with you to the wedding venue. Though this isn’t mandatory, it is important that you make it clear to your participants and guests who will arrange their transportation.

  1. What is your wedding theme?

The model of your wedding car will depend on what your wedding theme is. There are already enough details to worry about in a wedding but this is one that you should not miss.  If you have your eye on a vintage car, get it right away; vintage or rare cars tend to get booked faster so it’s best to reserve early. Most couples will book their wedding car as early as 9 to 12 months early.

  1. How many hours will you need it?

How many hours do you really need the car to be around? Will it only be for taking you to the ceremony and the reception? Or will you need it for when you go home? Factor in the hours and you might just end up saving more if you only need it for a few.

  1. What are the extras?

What extras will your wedding car hire company include in the package? A bottle of champagne? Some complementary snacks? It’s good to know this ahead of time so you can prepare your own food. Big puffy dress, big commitment, big crowd waiting for you at the venue. You don’t want to pass out before you say your I dos.

  1. Will the streets be busy on my wedding day/time?

No big wedding is going to prevent traffic from happening. The road isn’t going to magically empty itself just because you’re about to get married. Be realistic. What date and time is your wedding going to be? Factor these in and you’ll be able to come up with a leave time that will bring you to the venue just in time.

  1. Does the company have a backup plan?

Anything can go wrong on your wedding day, even the car you hired. The driver could get sick or the car could not work. Whatever it is, the wedding car hire company needs to have a backup plan for situations like these.

In Conclusion… Think about these questions when choosing a wedding car for hire. It may seem like a big deal now but it will be when you look back in photos and see yourself in them. So pick wisely!
