Frequently asked questions
How can we help you?
We cover ALL counties in the UK including big cities. You can view all available vehicles local to your wedding by visiting our vehicle's page
All Weddings are different. The minimum time a car can be hired is one hour for a one-way journey. If you require your wedding transport to wait until after the ceremony for photographs and/or onwards journeys then it would increase the length of hire. Typical registrar/church wedding would be for up to three hours hire.
If you need to make changes, need advice on timings, wish to add a vehicle or would like to discuss any aspect of your reservation do not hesitate to contact us. We do not charge any admin fees to make changes. For your protection all changes need to be in writing. Changes will not be accepted by phone, text or other means.
In short, the answer is yes but we would advise that if the driving time to the ceremony venue is more than 5 to 10 minutes in each direction then additional transport might be considered more practical for your Bridesmaids.
