There are many different elements which make up a successful wedding day – the food, the venue, the wedding dress and groom’s suit, the entertainment, the music, and so on. But amongst all these elements is included the wedding car. Having the perfect wedding car for your wedding day is crucial if you want your wedding to be the best it can be. But you already know this. How, then, can you make sure that you choose the best wedding car? You need to get the best wedding car service, of course. Here are some important pointers to remember when choosing a wedding car service.
The fees
When looking at prospective wedding car services, you have to take a close look at their fees. A wedding car service may purport to give you the lowest fee, and if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Low prices may sometimes mean that there are some additional charges when the day comes; some companies, for instance, will restrict or limit the hours of hire, and if you go over the time allotted for the hire, you can be charged a substantial amount. Others may limit the distance the car will travel or the mileage. It would be best to choose a wedding car service which can give you a set fee – the total cost of hiring the vehicle without time restrictions, such as Valkyrie Chauffeurs, who provide wedding cars in Cheltenham and the surrounding areas.
A backup
It’s also important to make sure that you ask the wedding car service whether they will be able to provide you with a backup car in case the car you have reserved breaks down on your wedding day. Even if you may be able to make a claim from your insurance provider for the failure of the service to provide you with a car, the financial reimbursement will not be able to make up for all the stress and headache of having to look for a replacement car on your special day.
Potential discounts
Whether you are getting married during peak season or low season, if you are planning to hire more than one car from the company, it would be a good idea to ask them if you can avail of a bulk discount. There’s no harm in trying, and you may get a great deal in the end.
Confirm any extras
You shouldn’t forget to ask the wedding car service if you will also be receiving some extras with the car hire, such as vehicle dressings like ribbons and flowers, or free beverages or snacks. Some wedding car services can even provide you with free in-car Wi-Fi, which allows you to upload photographs to social media accounts and share them with friends and family.
