How much should a wedding car cost?

moneytracker

We have received two seperate quotes for hiring a Mercedes-Benz S Class Saloon and a Mercedes-Benz Viano. The first one seemed really resonable at £300+vat but the second one was for just £160 for the both.

This second one just seemd to good to be true, any thoughts or comparable prices?

We've just paid for 2x Silver Mercedes Benz S Class and it's cost us £355 all the quotes we got were around this mark. (1 was £190 so still above the £160)

£160 does seem to good to be true, but depends where you live. Do they have any references and have you actually been down and seen the cars?

We live in liverpool and do not drive so we have only looked at there websites and will not be able visit the showrooms.

The cheaper site is http://www.whereto-chauffeur.co.uk/index.htm and they say they are a member of the liverpool chamber of commerce. I would really rather save myself half the money, but the money is not worth taking a chance of no cars on the day.

The first Mercedes quote is at the more normal rate of £300 plus VAT. I know a company in Birmingham that hires out cars - they have two Armstrong Siddleys that are hired as a pair and they cost £550 plus VAT so that gives you some idea of the cost.

The company quoting £160 seems really low and one wonders if they have public liability insurance or what the car is like.

Our's is costing £165 - just the one car doing several trips as the distances are so short.

Is there any way you can ask the cheaper company for some testamonials?

I am paying £300 for a cadillac, which is doing 2 trips. But I was also offered an old style Merc for £50 to just take Grandparents.. But £160 sounds really really cheap, too cheap a suppose. Try some wedding forums on other sites to see if anyone else has used them x

Thanks for all your answers I contacted the cheaper place but then they came back with they only had a smaller E class so I went with the more expensive site.
