Wedding cars essentially refer to the transportation for the bride and groom, as well as any other parties to the wedding that you require. This is generally to and from the wedding, and also to and from the wedding reception. It’s common that one’s wedding car is a special type of car, as it is a special day. That being said, wedding car services might be able to provide you with a type of car that suits your budget, style, etc.
One very popular type of wedding car, and probably the most widely used is the limousine. Limousines are long, elaborate cars or trucks which are usually enhanced on the inside with various amenities. Some limousines can include things such as televisions on the inside, a miniature bar, a phone, etc. Limousines can also come in various types of cars, such as sedans, sports utility vehicles, or even trucks. Limousines are often available for either a flat or hourly rate, which will include the driver who will transport you to and from your desired location.
Another form of wedding car that is often used are classic or elaborate cars. These can be rented from a local rental car agency, and are usually available at a daily fee. Couples might also use this as transportation to their honeymoon as well, if they’re driving. Some popular cars rented for a wedding could include classic cars, sports cars, rare cars, luxury cars, etc. For more information on wedding cars, try contacting a local provider.
renting a classic or antique car
Classic cars for weddings are easily the classiest form of wedding transportation available. Think antique cars, Mustangs, Bentleys and Rolls-Royces Silver Clouds. Unfortunately, while you've seen them in photos, they can be difficult to secure for wedding day.
How to find a classic car for wedding transportation
Classic cars are available through wedding transportation companies virtually everywhere. However, most companies will only have one or two classic cars available to rent, as they are expensive to purchase and maintain. Accordingly, if you're set on a classic car, you're going to have to do some research in your area, and book in advance.
Start with you your local limousine rental companies and visit as many local wedding transportation company website's as you can find. You'll quickly find that the options are limited to some degree. If you're not having much luck, you can also try antique and classic car rental clubs, particularly the Antique Automobile Club of America. Make sure to contact their local clubs. Unfortunately, many owners of antiques and classic cars have insurance policies that prohibit them from commercial use of their vehicles. That's why it's pretty tough to find a classic car other than through a limo rental agency.

Some things to know about classic cars
Classic cars will be a bit smaller than a stretch limo and are likely only be able to accommodate the groom and bride. You're not likely to have a glass partition for some private time, so you'll just have to get used to having your driver only 3 feet away. Finally, you're not likely going to be allowed to drive the car away, for obvious liability and sentimentality reasons. Nevertheless, hiring a classic car is a fantastic touch. As for the groomsmen and bridesmaids, you can hire a separate limousine for them.
Make sure the classic car is clean
One thing that a smart groom will want to do is to ensure that the classic car is clean. Many classic cars sport overly greased door hinges, which do not combine well with whiter-than-white bridal gowns. It happens.
Classic car rental rates for wedding day
Classic cars will run about the same price as a stretch SUV, so you can plan on spending a minimum of £500 plus gratuity.
Your wedding day is the most important day of your life so you’ll want to make sure every aspect of it is perfect – including the wedding car that will take the blushing bride to the ceremony.
These days the bride and groom can choose from a huge range of wedding cars, from the classic Bentley or prestigious limousine to a vintage Ford or graceful Daimler. They can also select anything from a top of the range Mercedes or new BMW to a black taxi
