How to Choose Your Wedding Car
Start by considering the style of your wedding. A vintage car suits a traditional country wedding, while a sleek modern vehicle complements a city venue. Think about practical details: how many people need transporting, the distance between venues, and whether the vehicle needs to handle narrow lanes. Visit the company to see the actual car you will be hiring, not just photos. Check that the chauffeur is smartly dressed and experienced with weddings. Ask about contingency plans in case of vehicle breakdown. Book at least six months ahead for popular dates in the South West.
