Our Range of Double Decker Routemaster Buses for Hire

When it comes to weddings, the choice of transportation plays a significant role in setting the tone for the event. A classic, red Routemaster wedding bus is the perfect way to bring charm, character and that extra touch to your wedding day.

Choose between models that reflect the elegance of the 1950s and the bold, iconic design of the 1960s, each adding a distinct touch of heritage to your special day. Explore our range below.

Double-Decker Routemaster Buses

The double-decker Routemaster is an iconic British symbol, especially in London, where they were largely deployed. From the bright red to the chunky rectangular shape, these buses exude nostalgia.

They commonly seat either 64 or 72 passengers, depending on the bus’s year of manufacture. They even have the open rear-boarding platform so your wedding guests can hop on and off in true 1960s style (not while the bus is moving, of course!). Many are available paired with a second, so you can transport all your guests from your wedding ceremony to the reception.

Single-Decker Vintage Routemaster Buses

Our single-decker Routemaster offers the same retro charm on a smaller scale, perfect for tighter venues or more intimate celebrations. This iconic London bus is ideal to transport all your wedding guests from the registry office to the church, and other key locations on your day. Plus, it makes the perfect backdrop for stunning pictures.

Explore our Routemasters for hire and find the perfect vintage bus to suit your wedding day.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Routemaster Bus Hire

How far in advance should I book a Routemaster wedding car?

For popular wedding dates, particularly Saturdays between May and September, book as soon as your venue is confirmed. Six to twelve months ahead is typical for peak dates. Some vehicles are available on shorter notice but specific Routemaster cars get reserved early. If you have a particular car in mind, do not wait.

Do you cover my venue with a Routemaster wedding car?

We offer Routemaster wedding cars across the UK. Availability depends on your wedding date, pickup location and the specific vehicle you choose. Enter your postcode in our availability checker to confirm which Routemaster cars are available for your date.

What does Routemaster wedding car hire typically cost?

Prices vary depending on vehicle model, your wedding date and journey distance. We have put together a pricing guide covering popular Routemaster wedding cars, including what is included in each. Use the instant quote tool for a price based on your specific details.

What is included in the hire price?

All bookings include a uniformed chauffeur, ribbons and decoration, and fuel for your agreed route. There are no hidden extras for standard bookings. Additional pickup points or extended hire time may affect the final price, which your quote will reflect upfront.

Can we make stops for photos with a Routemaster wedding car?

Yes. Many couples add a photo stop with their Routemaster wedding car at a local landmark, countryside setting or venue backdrop. Let us know your preferred location when booking and we will build it into your itinerary. It is worth checking access and photography permissions at your chosen spot in advance.

How many cars do we need for our wedding?

That depends on your bridal party size and how many separate pickups you have. A single car covers the bride and up to 3 passengers for most vehicles, though several limousine and multi-seat options can seat more.

If you have multiple pickup addresses or a larger party, a second car or MPV works well. For shorter journeys, one car can sometimes complete two separate runs if timings allow, which can be discussed when you book.

Tell us your party size, pickup locations and timings and we will suggest the most practical combination.

Can we make changes to our booking after it is confirmed?

Yes, and this is more common than you might think. Wedding timings often shift as plans develop, venues update their schedules, or you simply need to add a pickup address.

You can make changes to your booking at any time with no amendment fees. Once updated, we will reissue your full confirmed itinerary so everyone involved has the latest details in writing.

Just get in touch with our team and we will update everything straight away.

Can we book multiple vehicles with our Routemaster wedding car?

Yes, and many couples do. A main wedding car for the bride, a second car or MPV for bridesmaids, and a coach for evening guests is a common combination.

All vehicles can be coordinated under one booking, so timings and logistics are managed together rather than dealing with separate suppliers.

You do not need to finalise everything upfront either. Many couples secure their main vehicle first and add additional cars later as their plans develop. As long as availability allows, we can adjust your booking as you go.

How do we confirm our booking and what are the payment terms?

A deposit is required to secure your vehicle and date, with the remaining balance due 8 weeks before your wedding day. If you are booking within 8 weeks of your wedding, full payment is due at the time of booking.

We accept credit card, debit card, bank transfer and PayPal Pay in 3, which lets you spread the cost across three payments. A useful option to help with cashflow.

Once payment is received, you will get written confirmation covering your vehicle details, chauffeur information, agreed itinerary and balance due date. If you have any questions about payment before booking, just get in touch.
