Wedding Car Recommendations

Any suggestions for wedding car companies?

I'm in the Belfast area... need two cars to take ladies to a wedding venue. Total trip about 10 miles at most. One way trip. Everything in one venue.

Rang two places and being quoted 4/500 which I think is rather ridiculous haha.

    Have you considered executive cars from taxi companies? Valuecabs list wedding packages at £140 per car but if you ring around you can probably beat that for a one way trip. We used a private chaffeur for a few hours and it cost a lot less than wedding car companies.
  • I don't think you should be specifically looking for wedding cars if that's all you're looking for.

    It won't be worth their while doing what is in effect a taxi trip- they generally hire cars out at £250 per car for the day for use in photos, to & from venues, etc.

    I would look for a private hire company as suggested.

    If you do go down the wedding car route, we used David Andrews near forestside. £250 for a car for the day & they were excellent.

    Whatever you get, don't even consider a replica vintage vehicle

    They are fibre glassed/ plastic monstrosities and are tacky looking in wedding pics
    (in my opinion):eek:

    Rang around 7 or 8 places and ended up going for David Andrews! Cheers :beer:
