When arranging transportation for your wedding day, there’s a lot to consider. In addition to finding a wedding car rental company that fits your wedding style and personality, you’ll want to make sure the booking is reliable so you can arrive at the wedding on time.

If you’re planning to rent a wedding car and feeling a little overwhelmed, don’t worry – we’ve got everything you need. We’ve answered some common questions that couples ask, so you won’t have any trouble finding the perfect ride.

How many cars do we need to rent for the wedding day?

The number of cars you’ll need will depend on the size of your wedding, the minimum is one car, carrying the bride and her father to the venue, while the rest of the guests can travel by taxi if you’re trying to stick to your budget, but you may need up to three cars especially if the groom is also getting a car.

Who will be in the car with you?

Usually, the groom and the bride’s mother travel together, while the bride and her father travel in a separate car, you may also want to request a car for the groom and his friends to the venue. Of course, as with all wedding rituals, there are no hard and fast rules and you should always adjust tasks to suit you better!

Will there be a driver with the car?

This entirely depends on the company you hire from, most car rental companies will provide a driver but it’s possible to rent a vehicle without a driver, leaving you and your groom the freedom to drive.

What happens if the driver is not available for some reason?

When hiring a reliable company, they will have contingency plans for situations like this.

When should each car arrive at the venue and location?

The groom’s team should arrive about 45 minutes before the ceremony starts so they can be there on time to greet and direct guests to their seats.

The bride’s mother and sisters should arrive at the venue about 10-15 minutes before the ceremony starts, while the bride and her father should arrive five minutes before the ceremony begins.
