    On your wedding day, every detail counts, including how you and your guests get from place to place. It can take time to determine what to ask your transportation provider while making arrangements for your special event. Essential questions to have answered before committing to a deal with any firm offering wedding transit include how to reserve vehicles, what safety practices to follow, and how much money to allocate towards transportation.

    Indeed, there is plenty to think about when searching for the best wedding transportation. Of course, your wedding automobiles should be elegant and in keeping with the theme of your special day, but more importantly, they should be delivered by a pro who will bring you to the ceremony on time and treat you like a princess or king.

    While finding a reliable private hire wedding car service isn't the simplest of tasks, it needn't put a damper on your otherwise exciting wedding plans.

    You may quickly narrow down your list of potential wedding vehicle businesses by asking a few key questions about your top choices.

    What Sort Of Service Do You Offer?

    Include this inquiry early. If you're looking to rent a sports car for your wedding but the wedding car hiring company you're talking to only rents hot rods, it's clear that you should look elsewhere.

    But if you enquire, you might be pleasantly pleased that the auto rental company offers a vehicle or transportation you hadn't thought to ask about. But, of course, your perfect wedding automobile might be something other than an actual car!

    What Car Types, Sizes And Colours Do You Have Available?

    Although less significant than fit, security, and ease of use, you should inquire about the car colours and styles. Want to make your ceremony getaway in a vintage cabriolet? Now's the moment to enquire. Remember that just because the happy couple is arriving in a stretch limo, that doesn't mean all of the guests or marriage party members have to. Vans, minibuses or shuttles can transport everyone from point A to point B for cheaper.

    Are you trying to find a particular style of car to complement the atmosphere of your marriage ceremony? For example, if you are having a retro wedding, you might want a vintage vehicle. On the other hand, a Porsche, BMW, or some other contemporary luxury vehicle may be your best bet if you're seeking a more up-to-date look. Remember to paint the walls too! Your wedding automobile is certain to feature in multiple shots across your film. Be sure that the hue appears excellent alongside our dress, the husband's suit, and your bridesmaids' gowns too!

    How Many Automobiles Do You Recommend We Reserve?

    You'll need to consider the number of people in your wedding party and their transportation needs while making this decision. You'll often need anywhere from one car to three cars. Typically, the bride and her father arrive in a "special" car, while the groom and his best man ride in a regular vehicle. In times past, the bride's mother would accompany the bridesmaids to the ceremony.

    However, modern brides may ride in either a car driven by one or both sets of parents or with their bridesmaids. Similarly, modern-day grooms often travel with their groomsmen to make a grand entrance.

    The outcome depends on personal preference, the number of individuals who need transportation that day, and the mode of transportation most convenient for you.

    Remember that the bride might arrive in a different vehicle, but the groom and his spouse may leave in the same car, usually alone. So plan for your parents' transportation to the ceremony, photographs, and reception.

    Some wedding parties contain only the bride, groom, and best man, while others have multiple bridesmaids and even several best men. Also, consider whether you'll have a ring bearer, flower girl, or other attendants during your wedding. The couple getting married will use separate vehicles to the wedding and then always travel together after that. It is customary for the bride to accompany her father or the person giving herself away on the journey to the wedding. Traditionally, the bride's mother and attendants ride in a separate cars.

    In many cases, the groom and her best man may go to the ceremony in their vehicle. Once the ceremony is over, the newlyweds will ride together in the wedding's designated car. The bridesmaids and men will take the second automobile, and a reliable friend will drive the groom's car there. Hiring a vehicle or two could be the best option for larger wedding groups. When you are responsible for delivering people to out-of-the-way destinations, large vehicles, for example, bus lines, come in handy.

    How Many Passengers Does Each Car Hold?

    Seating capacity is highly dependent on the vehicle's make and model, but as a general rule of thumb, most limos can accommodate 10–14 passengers, and some can even accommodate up to 18! Sometimes, you may even find 24-passenger stretch hummers.

    Most antique cars are sedans, which typically seat four people, but remember that most sports cars only have a place for two passengers, so you'll have to leave someone behind the wheel. Thus, the groom is typically the lone wedding guest that rides in a sports car to the ceremony.

    The capacity of both the available automobiles will decide the kind of auto you choose and the number of vehicles you will need, in addition to the obvious point that everyone travelling in each car has to be secure and comfortable. Remember that the wearer may need more room to move around than normal due to the wearer's skirt volume, hairstyle, or nervousness before the event.

    Where Can I Get A Driver, If Any, Or Can I Drive Myself?

    No. No wedding car service would release their vehicles without a certified chauffeur, so if you'd rather take the wheel yourself, you'll need to visit a rental car agency like Budget or Hertz. Chauffeurs are available for all such vehicles.

    Are There Any Other Expenses?

    The majority of wedding transportation services offer basic extras like ribbons and water. However, a travel surcharge may apply if pickup and drop-off locations are closed. Overtime fees are the only potential outlay if your engagement exceeds its allotted time.

    Will The Chauffeur Wear A Suit?

    While dress rules vary from vendor to vendor, you can generally expect your driver to be dressed professionally in a suit and tie.

    What Kinds Of Refreshments May We Expect That Day?

    Water and sometimes champagne are included in wedding car rental services. Nevertheless, this varies by provider, so be sure to enquire beforehand.

    If It Rains, What Will Happen?

    It's all right. It is good luck to have rain on your big day, and most wedding transportation services will have plenty of large golf umbrellas available.

    Do You Offer Ribbons Or Other Decorations With Your Service?

    Nevertheless, while most transportation services include things like wedding car decorations, ribbons, and the like, others will lay out just the red carpet for you.

    Let's Go As Far As We Can. Where Are The Pictures From My Wedding?

    Since most wedding transportation is rented by the hour or day/half day, your wedding transportation service will take you everywhere you need to go on your special day.

    When Will The Cars Leave?

    As most service providers only take on one ceremony per day, you won't feel pushed to wrap up your reception, but you may be subject to an overage charge if you run long.

    How Much Do You Charge For Overtime?

    If your event exceeds the allotted time and the driver has to wait for you, you will be charged extra. It is because they need to be standardised across industries. Yet, most suppliers will give you a grace period before charging you overtime rates. If you think you may stay overtime on the day, speak with your wedding vehicle hire source beforehand so that you know exactly how it will go without being humiliated.

    What If The Location Of The Ceremony, The Photographs, And The Reception Are All The Same?

    Suppose you're having your ceremony and reception at the same location. In that case, you might only need transportation to the ceremony, but if you want transportation back to your hotel afterwards, you'll need to let your wedding provider know.

    When A Car Stops Working, What Should You Do? If Something Happens, Do You Have A Plan B?

    Most companies that offer wedding transportation regularly inspect and service their cars. Check to determine whether a contingency plan is in place in case something goes wrong. Will a new car, for instance, be sent out if the original car breaks down?

    How Do We Make A Payment?

    Deposit amounts vary per vendor, but most couples pay at least some of their wedding budgets at least a week before the big day.

    How Casual Or Formal Are Your Drivers' Uniforms?

    Make sure that chauffeur doesn't stand out like a sore thumb during your wedding photos if you want your shooter to photograph when you come dressed to the nines. Inquire as to whether or if the driver is expected to dress formally, and if not, whether this can be requested. If the response is "only upon request," please let me know if a price is associated with submitting such a request. Our chauffeurs at Sterling Limousine and Transportation Services will always arrive in professional attire. 

    In What Colours Are Your Limos And Tour Buses?

    Limos are the epitome of classic sophistication, while party buses are a practical way to move guests from one location to another. Find out what colours are represented in the transportation company's fleet if you have an idea for your event. Luxury cars, sedans, SUVs, and vans may mostly come in black, but he is not exclusive. Branded or plain white party buses are the norm. Please make sure the transportation service you're considering has vehicles in the colour you want before you book with them.

    When Do You Need To Pay, And What Do You Need To Pay For A Car Reservation?

    A credit card number is often requested by most transportation services when booking. Usually, a down payment is also expected. Therefore, you should pay anywhere from $100 to $250 as a deposit when you make the reservation, while the exact cost may vary based on the type of car or the number of them you wish to reserve. The rest of your transportation reservation is payable 30 days before your planned pickup, and this deposit is non-refundable.

    In What Ways Can You Cut Costs?

    One option to cut costs is to borrow a high-end car from a friend or family member. Of course, you should invite them and her family as they will likely require a chauffeur as well. Also, inquire about any discounts the car rental agency may provide if you plan to reserve multiple vehicles. Of course, if you want to find out, you must enquire. Finally, make sure to compare prices! Before making a final decision, it's a good idea to shop around and compare pricing and car quality across different providers.
