Why do prices vary for more or less the same type of vehicle.

All of the vehicles shown on this website are either individually owned by the directors of Premier Carriage, by members of classic car clubs that we also belong to, or other wedding service colleagues. Each owner has different costs to cover, for example if an owner is chauffeuring the car himself then the cost may be lower than if he had to pay another chauffeur to carry out the job, some owners are mechanics and are able to look after their vehicle themselves rather than have to rely on expensive garages or specialists for their car/s. Some owners are not running their car as a profit making business but simply to help cover the cost and upkeep of their pride and joy.  Insurance costs may vary depending on which area the car is garaged, so as you can see each owner has differing expenses to cover for their vehicle/s and it is when you add all these costs up that the end price may differ.  Finally, the mileage must be taken into account to reach your wedding area and the return mileage back to their individual bases afterwards.

Taking all this into consideration each owner sets their own price for the vehicles shown on this website, and as you can see the prices they have quoted although they may differ are still amongst the most competitive in our industry, however Premier Carriage will still try to be as competitive as we can and therefore we will aim to match any genuine 'like for like' quote after taking into consideration the total mileage to be driven.  The price match will only be considered on vehicles of the same make, model and colour from established wedding car companies with the vehicle/s to be price matched based in the same area as ours, and who are actively advertising their businesses, naturally we will not price match for cars belonging to friends and family.  We will need to see a genuine written or emailed quote from the other company in order to consider a price match and the vehicle we are price matching must still be available for hire and not already booked.
