AEC Reliance Single Decker Bus
Vehicle Ref 862
About this vehicle:
This beautifully restored 1958 AEC Reliance single-decker bus, finished in elegant burgundy and cream, brings a wonderful sense of nostalgia and charm to any wedding day. Its rounded 1950s bodywork, classic chrome detailing and distinctive front twin-windscreen and twin-tinted windows above give it an unmistakable retro presence, especially when in photographs outside churches, period manor houses and countryside venues.
Inside, the bus offers seating for up to 37 passengers, making it ideal for transporting larger groups of guests together. The warm, authentic interior retains its vintage character, complete with period seating and generously sized windows that let in plenty of natural light. It creates a welcoming atmosphere for bridal parties and guests alike, whether travelling between ceremony and reception or simply enjoying the journey as part of the celebration.
The AEC Reliance holds a special place in British transport history. First introduced in the late 1950s, it quickly became known for its smooth ride, reliability and forward-thinking engineering, serving towns and cities across the country for decades. Having one of these rare survivors fully restored and available for wedding hire is a real treat for enthusiasts and couples wanting something truly unique.
With its timeless burgundy and cream livery, classic curves and delightful vintage character, this 1958 Reliance is far more than just transport — it becomes part of your wedding day adding a touch of old-school romance and a brilliant talking point for guests.

We booked this wonderful car for our wedding in South Wales and were over the moon with the car itself and the excellent service provided by our driver, Darren. Throughout the enquiry and booking process Premier Carriage were responsive and always available to answer our questions. Prior to the wedding we both agreed an itinerary and any extra details so that we wouldn’t miss any photos opportunities and everything ran smoothly on our big day. Would really recommend using a Premier Carriage car on your big day and a huge thanks to Darran our driver!

A huge thank you to Nick for the most amazing service on our wedding day. He arrived with plenty of time to spare and there was no pressure to leave for the ceremony until I was ready. Nick then drove us from the ceremony to our venue and made the whole experience so easy and such fun for us. We had so many compliments on the car. Thanks for making us feel so special!

Absolutely amazing from first contact to saying goodbye. Communication through WhatsApp was good and nothing was too much hassle. We requested a play list to be played to our wedding and to the after venue and was no problem. Harry arrived at our home early which was nice to show off the wedding car before setting off. The car itself "WOW" there is no more explanation needed. We asked for gold ribbon which was the perfect colour match. He was the perfect chauffeur and didn't rush us and let us take our time. We were even surprised to find a small gift from Harry when we got back into the gorgeous car when heading to the after venue. A massive thank you for making our day that little bit more special.

Had a fabulous experience from start to finish with Keyhole Motors for my daughter’s wedding car! Hired a beautifully spotless blue & ivory Imperial Landaulette and can’t thank driver Dave enough. Would definitely recommend everyone involved!! Thanks
