Wedding Car Hire & Limousines UK

Wedding car hire is important and can be underestimated or details can be overlooked.

What type of wedding car are you seeking? There is a vast difference between vintage classic wedding cars compared to modern stretch limousines. The main being that vintage and classic wedding cars are generally used exclusively for weddings, however a modern stretch limousine may also be used for hen and stag nights, teenage parties or any other function where nightclubs, bottles of booze and loud music are involved.

A professional limousine hire company that practices quality customer care will ensure that your wedding limousine is valeted and looking exactly how you want it.

Don't wait until the last minute before you book your wedding car or fleet. Don't just book from a directory without seeing your cars. Whether you are hiring a convoy of identical cars or cars to suit a theme, such as 1930's , 1940's white Rolls Royce or swinging 60's Rolls Royce & Bentleys, you need to be booking many months prior to the wedding.

Check your contract or agreement to ensure you are ordering the exact wedding limousines you want and that they are of a highest quality, otherwise you might end up with the last minute dregs of a limo hire company’s fleet.

Make sure your contract hire price is secured, or that you are fully aware of possible hire price increases.

What extras do you want including? A few bottles of champagne, streamers, red carpet, tulle, flowers etc . Some of your chosen extras may not be things that the limo hire companies have in stock, and may purchase just before the day of your wedding. So you need to make sure that the cost for extras is included in the wedding car hire agreement. What happens if the price of the champagne goes up before your wedding day? .... it happens, so double check the contract.

Most limousine hire companies take pride in their fleet and ensure their limousines are clean and tidy prior to their next job. Don't be afraid to stress the importance of accepting their highest quality, newest vehicle in top condition. Imagine a 1977 Lincoln limousine limping to collect the bride after it has been on a rowdy night out still stinking of stale smoke and booze, not to mention some un-savoury items secreted in the sticky, stained upholstery.

Ask to inspect the limousine before booking to ensure it reaches or surpasses your strict criteria.

This example is not a reflection on the stretch limousine business in general, the vast majority enjoy a good reputation and are proud of their cars and chauffeurs.

If you are seeking a limousine for more than eight passengers, you may have to delve deep. The laws in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales restrict all limousines to a miximum of eight passengers. This law does not change, no matter how large the limousine is. The law dictates that to carry more than eight passengers in any vehicle, the driver must have a PSV licence and the veichle has to be registered as a Public Service Vehicle and have a Certificate of initial Fitness (COIF). We are not aware of any American limousines at present that comply with the legal requirments, therefore they are restricted to eight passengers.

Although limousines vary in shapes and styles, there are four layouts; formal limousines, Conference Seating, J Seating and Tri-Bench.

Formal limousines, as the name implies are generally used for formal occasions. Their seats face forward in rows.

Conference Seating have seats that face each other so that passengers can hold discussions similar to being seated at a table.

J Seating is where the seats are configured like the letter 'J'.

Tri-Bench have three seperate bench seats.
