What is the policy on the suitability of Groom’s Cars and their pricing.

With the exception of one or two vehicles most Grooms cars are sports cars and by their very nature are really designed for two sitting comfortably in the front, in addition two children or short slim adults can travel in the back in some cars, this is why we consider these vehicles to be more suitable for the Groom and Best Man rather than the Bride and Groom. We usually carry the Groom in the front next to the Chauffeur with the Best Man travelling in the seat behind, the exceptions to this are two seater sports cars which will only take one passenger at a time. We assume this will be the Groom and to ensure proper enjoyment of these superb sports vehicles the driver will take him on a high speed ride [if possible and within legal limits] on the way to the church subject to the time available.

The Best Man could either be taken to the church ahead of the Groom or afterwards, depending on the time the Groom needs to arrive, but again this would need to be subject to the overall mileage and the time quoted for. As the Groom will be leaving the ceremony with his Bride in the bridal car the Grooms transport is normally only required from home to church [A to B] therefore the pricing for these cars are based on a one way A to B trip only. The price quoted covers a one hour hire, or if not a local wedding the time it takes to travel between the Groom’s collection address and the ceremony venue with a short wait for photographs on the Groom’s arrival before the car returns to base.  The car is not usually required to remain longer than this as the next important vehicle to arrive and to gain the attention will be the Bride herself in her bridal car.  Although it is not usual for the Groom's car to wait until after the ceremony, if you did require it to stay this would not be a problem but additional waiting charges would apply.  Up to 50 miles of total travel [base to base] are included in the price shown, additional miles over 50 would be at £1 per mile, unless shown in the information box at a different rate.

We will be happy to quote for your individual itinerary.
