    Just booked my wedding car and I think pricing just depends on the car you're after. We're paying £320 for a Royale Windsor which looks great and this seems to be about the going rate where we are. Could have got something cheaper e.g. 70s Roller but that wasn't what we were after.

    I'd just check out the local competition and price myself in the bottom 25% of prices and take it from there - if you're solidly booked then maybe you're too cheap and if you've no takers then drop your prices a bit and you should soon find the right price.

    I would make a website, advertise your standard prices (perhaps 10% lower than the next cheapest quote?) with plenty of photos, and then offer several possible discounts - last minute availability, weekdays if possible, things like that - so no one's put off by your low starting price but they are attracted by your reductions.

    For me...

    I check out if they have a website so I can look at photos and get an idea of what its going to be like

    I do search the yellow pages (the online version) so I would still be tempted to get your name in there with a link to your website.

    See if you can get a stall at some local wedding fayres, as this will help people find you :)
