Wedding Transport Ideas

  • Classic/vintage wedding car - The most popular type of wedding transport is a classic/vintage car such as a Rolls Royce, Bentley, Mercedes or Daimler. Classic wedding car hire typical costs between £295-£400 depending on the type and age of the car.
  • Modern luxury limousine - An alternative to the vintage wedding car is a modern luxury limousine such as a Rolls Royce, Mercedes, Jaguar or Bentley. Whilst they have less character, the typical cost is much less at £150-£250 depending on the make of car.
  • Horse drawn carriage - If you've always dreamt of a fairytale wedding, a horse drawn carriage is the perfect romantic option. They are however only suitable for short journeys. The time of year may also affect your decision as they tend to be suitable only in the summer, unless the carriage has a waterproof hood. Typical costs range from £350 for a single horse up to £600 for two horses.
  • VW beetle or campervan - If you love your VW's, why not hire a chauffeur driven Beetle or campervan. There are loads of suppliers cropping up all over the country offering a range of old and new Beetles, cabriolets, campervans and even Beetle limousines. You could even be driven to your wedding by Herbie! 3-4 hour hire including chauffeur and champagne will cost approximately £250.
  • Morris Minor - Another fun option to the classic VW is a Morris Minor cabriolet or Traveller with costs ranging between £200 and £250.
  • London taxi cab - London taxis are a popular option for the modern bride. They also provide lots of space if you have a lot of bridesmaids. White taxi's are the most popular colour - and some even have a sunroof. You should expect to pay anything from £150-£250 depending on your choice of cab colour.
  • Karma Kars - Karma Kars are a fleet of Indian made 'Ambassador' cars which have been lovingly styled with flowers and ornate interior decor. They offer the perfect choice for ethnic weddings or for those just looking for something a bit different. Visit the Karma Kars for more details.
  • Supercar - If you've always wanted to drive an Aston Martin or Ferrari why not hire a supercar. Typically, they cost between £350 and £700 depending on whether it is chauffeur driven or you drive the car yourself.
  • Helicopter -Travelling by helicopter is a fantastic option if you have a longer distance to travel, if you want to get to the wedding reception before your guests for photos or just because you've always fancied it. The venue will need to provide you with permission and you will need to ensure that there is sufficient space for the helicopter to land. Helicopter flights cost from £500-£1,000 depending on whether you require one or two journeys.

    Flights are subject to the weather conditions - so you'll need to have back up transport arranged in case of bad weather
  • Family car - If you're on a smaller budget or want to save your money for something else, there is nothing stopping you being driven to the venue by a member of your family. Alternatively find out if any of your friends have a nice car they can transport you in. With a good clean and polish and a bit of coloured ribbon - you'll still be able to arrive in style.
  • London Bus - Using a classic red Routemaster bus is a great nostalgic option if you want to provide transport for your guests - seating either 64 or 72. Provide several bottles of champagne on board and the trip can double up as your pre-wedding breakfast reception - which could save you a fair bit of money.

    There are quite a few suppliers who can provide a London Bus. Some suppliers specialise specifically for the wedding market and will provide a fully decorated bus - they may even put your name on the front! The cost to hire a London bus ranges from £500-£600 depending on the level of wedding decorations on board.
  • Coach - The advantage of coach hire is that most coach companies don't tend to mark up their prices just because it's a wedding. Coaches are a great way of taking your guests home to a hotel after the wedding reception as that they don't have to worry about ordering a taxi or picking their car up in the morning. You should expect to pay £200-£250 for a standard size coach (51 seats).
