Choosing Your Wedding Cars

Now that you’re getting ready for your wedding, there are a million details to take care of. From ordering the cake to planning the honeymoon, it’s an exciting time! In all the hustle and bustle, though, don’t forget one of the most important details: the wedding cars.

Finding the right wedding car may require a lot of searching, as you want the car to match the style and theme of your event. If you’re having a modern, casual wedding, you might choose a flashy new convertible as your wedding car. On the other hand, if your ceremony and reception will be more traditional, a classic or vintage wedding car may be exactly what you’re after.

Here are some helpful tips when choosing your wedding cars.

1. Go for quality over price. That bargain-basement wedding car you’ve hired won’t seem like such a bargain if it arrives with scratches and dings—or worse, if it breaks down! Inspect each car you’re considering for cleanliness, polished surfaces, and visible damage. If it doesn’t look good on the outside, chances are that the operator hasn’t taken very good care of the motor, either.
2. Book with a reliable operator. Check out the operator with your local business bureau to see if any complaints have been registered. Be aware that some companies subcontract wedding cars from other operators. To avoid problems, make sure the wedding car you select is actually owned by the operator you’ve chosen. The more people involved in the transaction, the more complicated it will be, and the more likely it is that a mix-up will occur.
3. Make sure that the exact car you reserve is the one that you will receive—guaranteed. Operators do sometimes substitute one wedding car for another, so be sure that the specific car you select is reserved by its registration number.
4. Find out what your operator will do for you if your wedding car should break down. Many operators have spare wedding cars available should this happen. The best response, though, is “We keep our cars in such great shape that we’ve never had one break down!”
5. Ask for references. If you aren’t sure that an operator will be reliable, talking to past customers can help tip the scales either for or against. Naturally, the operator will refer you to customers who were very happy with the wedding cars and services they received. However, if the operator can provide dozens of satisfied customers like these, that speaks volumes about their business.
6. Book well in advance. There are only so many wedding cars available for hire, especially if you are looking for a particular vintage model. The best cars go quickly, so it’s a good idea to look for cars many months before your wedding day.
