Perhaps your wedding has a theme and you wish to co-ordinate the style of car with that theme? Is it a modern wedding or maybe a traditional wedding which can be reflected in your choice of car?
This will be your starting point, you can then see if the other criteria fit with your ideal choice of wedding car.

Wedding Cars have differing price ranges depending on their style, age, popularity and make of car. Very often the travelling distance will have a bearing on the cost of the Wedding Car Hire; also the time of year and sometimes the cars are priced by the hour.
Wedding car hire comes in various styles and can be a great photograph opportunity for your wedding album or video as well for your guests.
Some guests may wait outside to see you arrive, and then everyone will see you and your groom leave for, and arrive at the reception. So you want your transport to be something special and possibly tie in with your wedding theme or venue.
Is your Father giving you away, this can be his chance to share with you that special ride together in a beautiful car, you might like to give him the opportunity to help you decide.
Do not forget the groom, if you are travelling on to the reception, this is your first journey as a married couple and will always be special. This is your time to sit back, relax and enjoy the occasion in the comfort of a beautiful car.
For that perfect complement to the proceedings and extra special touch, your bridesmaids and Mother can travel to the ceremony in matching colour and style second cars.
The Grooms arrival at the ceremony is often overlooked, would you like him in a matching car, or something more special, possibly surprise him with an Aston Martin?
