Why Should I Hire a Wedding Car?

When it comes to wedding transport, it’s worth considering two different options: hiring a car for the whole wedding trip and hiring one specifically for the big day. Both offer fantastic benefits.

1. Hiring a Car for the Wedding Trip

Your wedding isn’t just one day, especially if it’s a destination wedding. A hire car ensures seamless, stress-free travel from local sightseeing to your rehearsal dinner and honeymoon. Here’s why it’s worth considering:

  • Convenience: Skip the stress of coordinating taxis or relying on public transport. A hire car gives you control over your wedding travel.
  • Perfect for Destination Weddings: If you’re hosting your wedding in a scenic location like Provence, the Loire Valley, or Paris, a hire car makes it easy to explore the area and get to your venue on time.
  • Practical for Guests: For large groups, minibuses or shuttles are great options for transporting friends and family between the airport, hotels, and the venue.
  • Ideal for Honeymoons: Starting your honeymoon in a stylish luxury car or convertible adds a touch of romance to your getaway.

If your wedding takes you to a beautiful destination like France with its scenic countryside roads and historic venues, a reliable hire car is a must. Europcar is the ideal choice for exploring the French countryside, with a strong presence across the country, including 330 locations in France alone and a network spanning nearly 140 countries worldwide.

For your wedding day, the right car hire is about more than just transport, it’s a moment of luxury and style that helps set the tone for your celebration. Here are the benefits: 

  • A Memorable Arrival: Whether it’s a vintage classic in a French chateau setting or a modern luxury car at a city venue, your car makes a statement.
  • Seamless Logistics: With a professional chauffeur, you’ll arrive on time and stress-free.
  • Perfect for Photos: Your wedding car isn’t just practical—it’s a prop! Couples often use their car as a backdrop for romantic “just married” photos.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Wedding Car?

When it comes to wedding car hire, costs can vary based on the type of car, location, and how long you need it. Here’s a breakdown of typical prices for different types of wedding cars:

Type of CarTypical CostPerfect For
Vintage and Classic Cars£400–£600Timeless elegance for ceremonies and photos.
Luxury Cars£300–£500Sleek, modern sophistication for your big day.

What Should I Consider When Booking a Wedding Car?

Choosing the perfect wedding car is about more than just looks. Here are some things to think about to keep everything running smoothly: 

  1. Timing and Availability: Cars book up quickly, especially during peak seasons. It’s best to lock in your ride 6–12 months ahead, and don’t forget to factor in extra travel time between venues and photos.
  2. Car Style and Theme: Make sure your car fits your wedding vibe. Go for a classic vintage look for a rustic wedding, or a sleek luxury ride for a more modern feel. Also, consider how many people need a seat!
  3. Insurance and Protection: Make sure the hire company includes insurance in the price and check if breakdown assistance is part of the deal. 
  4. Chauffeur vs. Self-Drive: A chauffeur-driven car is the easiest option, especially for destination weddings—just sit back and relax.
  5. Customisation and Extras: Ask about added touches like flowers, ribbons, or “Just Married” signs. If you’re traveling with a big group, minibuses or shuttles might be a good idea.

By keeping these points in mind, your wedding car hire will be as smooth and stress-free as your big day!
