How far in advance should I book a wedding car in East Lothian?
+
For popular East Lothian 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 cars, especially classics and vintage, get reserved early. If you have a particular car in mind, do not wait.
Do you cover my East Lothian venue?
+
Yes. We cover the whole of East Lothian, from coastal towns and market towns to rural villages and country estates across this South East Scotland county. Whether your ceremony is at a coastal church, a rural barn, a country house or a countryside venue, we cover it.

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 at East Lothian locations?
+
Yes. Many couples add a photo stop at local East Lothian landmarks such as Tantallon Castle clifftop ruins, Dirleton Castle, the beach at North Berwick or the John Muir Country Park coastline. Let us know your preferred location when booking and we'll build it into your itinerary. It's worth checking access and photography permissions at your chosen spot in advance.
How many cars do we need for a East Lothian 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 of our classic limousines and vintage cars seat 6 to 7 passengers, which can remove the need for a second vehicle entirely.
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 is worth discussing 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 for our East Lothian wedding?
+
Yes, and many couples do. A classic car for the bride, a modern MPV for the 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.
