Wedding Car Rental

Renting a wedding car is hiring a wedding limo for the couple to get to the church on time as well as to make sure that the wedding car or limo rental is a spectacular success.

Wedding car rental essentials
There are some important things to consider before renting a wedding car. The wedding car checklist will help you on this.

Get the times & dates right


Check the wedding car rental quote or booking form properly, and to be sure about the date/time, get an email confirmation from the wedding car rental Company about your travel arrangements.

Do you know where you are going?


The right addresses including correct postcodes are similarly essential as getting the date and time right. A professional wedding chauffeur will double check the addresses, by calling the venues, and then plan out the route on a map before hand. Some chauffeurs even do a “Recce” first, to make sure everything runs like clockwork.

Is the vehicle licensed?

Check whether the wedding car rental Company, car and driver are properly licensed. In London, there is a requirement for private hires, ie. the vehicle, chauffeur and car operator should be licensed by the PCO. Normal wedding car rental is exempt, except if the vehicle is to be used outside of the regular service. Vintage wedding cars normally would not pass the PCO inspection.

The advantage of a PCO licensed operator is that all drivers are CRB checked and the vehicles are also given a stringent test too.

Wedding car music

Decide, what tune you want to play for your first dance or the music you want to hear for the first time as a married couple. Arrange this with the wedding car rental Company.

Check whether the wedding limo have a CD player, an iPod or a tape deck or they have that piece of music, or you should bring it along. If you may prefer a silent wedding car, discuss this as well beforehand.

Wedding car decorations

Give the rental company time to organize the exact shade of ribbon you need. White and ivory ribbons would not be a problem, but to be sure, ask the driver in advance.
Wedding toast

Your first toast could be on the back seat of the wedding limo. Do not expect the driver to have your favourite variety of vodka or cola without any prior arrangement.
If you or your partner do not drink alcohol, you should prime the wedding car Company beforehand. Maybe you could raise your glasses filled with soft drinks, fruit juices or something else.

Be prepared

Your wedding car rental is an essential and important part on your wedding day celebrations. So, get it right and you are on the way to having the best day of your life, and one that you will never forget. Good Luck !
