Wedding Car Hire in England

Vintage VW Wedding Hire provides a beautiful classic VW "camper" with a spacious interior designed specifically for weddings, operating from a base in the Cotswolds. They also supply some really in-depth advice on what you should be checking when looking to hire a similar provider.

What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

Our aim is to make our customer's experience special by tailoring our wedding transport service to them as much as possible.
This means that, beyond the obviously necessary details such as date and location, the more we know about them and their plans the better.
To that end we would want to put time into talking with them, well in advance about, for example, the style of decor they would like, how much personal help they expect from their Chauffeur on the day, which details are important to them, (whether they particularly want some music for example) and so on.

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Don't be shy!
Ask as many questions as you can so that you can be confident that you know exactly what is on offer and that it fits with your ideal plan.
Ask to see the wedding vehicle and your Chauffeur in person before making any decisions.
Make sure they are prepared to test the routes you have in mind between locations.
If their base is a long way from your location you might be asked for a small fee for this, but if you're the type to worry it'll be worth it!
Ask if they will be attending any other weddings that day.
You really should have their undivided attention, and you need for them to be available even if your timings have to change at the last minute or during the day.

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

We are both in our late 50's but have a much younger outlook, so there's a combination of experience and energy that needs somewhere to go!
Our working background has been varied, but it has always been essential for us to listen and find out what exactly it is that other people want, or need.
This is what we are looking to transfer into offering our microbus "Elmo" for weddings.
We're good at problem-solving and helping out basically, and it has become time to put those skills to work in a positive and uplifting context!

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?

We're just starting out with "Add to Event" so, for now, it's a case of waiting on the edge of our seats for the first journey to share.
