You have already got a million things to worry about, why let your transportation be another worry? Here are seven ways to prevent a wedding car mishap, and make sure that you get to your destination smoothly safely and in style.
1. Always select a reliable wedding car company. It is so critical that everything goes smoothly on your big day. Reliability is of paramount importance, you want whoever you hire to turn up on time, and get you there in one piece.
2. If you are not sure about a company, you can always ask for references from past clients, but usually you won't have to do that. By choosing a company that has been in business for a couple of years, you are going to make sure that you have everything covered.
3. Read what is in the contract before you put pen to paper. This wont be the only contract you have to sign so take heed of the mantra "Caveat Emptor". Hidden cost are often overlooked by wedding couples so read through them in great detail.
4. Deposits are also a massive thing which couples overloook. You need to know when you have to pay it, is it weeks or months beforehand.
5. Remember the seasons. If you think that getting a nice convertible car is going to be your dream transportation, make sure you consider the weather. Remember that it rains every weekend in April, and chances are you will need to have the top up anyway. The same goes with getting a convertible in the winter months. You don't want your bride-to-be to be freezing, or arrive at the church all wet.
6. Take an accurate headcount. There is nothing worse than booking a car that holds six people only to find out that your wedding party has eight people plus the bride and groom. If you are going to provide transportation for the entire wedding party, make sure that you count everybody and make sure that your car or cars are going to be able to hold that many people.
7. Give the driver accurate times. By telling the driver how long the ceremonies going to be in the church, how long you are going to be at the reception, and any other detours along the way, you're going to be able to get great service. There's nothing worse than running out of church on a rainy day, only to find that the driver isn't waiting, because he didn't know when you needed to be picked up again.
By organizing your wedding day transportation in advance, you are going to be able to get a car that's perfect for your wedding party, It is also going to be comfortable for any of your transportation needs.
