5 Things To Consider When Booking Wedding Transport

Nobody needs to think about how we move from A to B on a daily basis. We simply get in the car, check the bus/train timetable, and commute to wherever we need to be. When it comes to your wedding day, you must organise your transportation more carefully.

We've developed a list of 5 of the most crucial elements to consider when hiring your wedding transportation, so you can be confident that you've reserved a safe, dependable, and viable vehicle(s) for your special day.

 

 

1. What is your financial situation?

Your budget is likely to be one of the most important variables in your wedding transportation decision. You and your partner must decide how crucial transportation is for your wedding day and begin your investigation there. There are numerous wedding transportation companies to choose from, with vehicles ranging from inexpensive to extravagant. From modern limousines to classic and vintage cars, coaches and unusual, different options like a campervan! 

There are many expenses to consider while planning a wedding, so you may need to be flexible in other areas if transportation is high on your priority list.

Investigate your local choices to determine what types of vehicles are available in your price range. It's also worth asking family and friends if they know anyone who owns your ideal vehicle(s) and if they would be prepared to provide you with a ride at a reasonable cost!

 

2. How many individuals will require transportation?

Another important aspect influencing your wedding transportation decision is the number of people who will require transportation on the day.

You may be simply concerned with getting the bride, groom, and bridesmaids to the location. In that situation, you may only need to hire one vehicle to make a few trips to and from the site. However, you must evaluate whether you will provide transportation for any of your guests. In that scenario, you'll need to consider renting a larger vehicle, such as a coach or limousine and decide if you'll be providing transportation throughout the day or just from one location to another. 

At Centaur Travel, we specifically cater for wedding coach hire to take away the stress of making sure all of your guests arrive at the ceremony and reception on time. Additionally, you can also hire a return coach, so no guests need to worry about leaving the party early or having to drive home. Our group coach hire services are here to help you relax and celebrate in style.

 

3. How long will your travel last?

The distance between where you are staying before your wedding and the venue will influence the sort of transportation options accessible to you, as well as the cost of the private rental vehicle.

If you are staying far away from your wedding location, having a horse and carriage is probably not feasible. Similarly, if you are considering hiring a vintage car for your wedding day, be sure it has a track record of dependability - you don't want to arrive at your wedding destination in a recovery vehicle!

 

4. Is there a backup plan in place for the transportation company?

Regardless of how many pre-planning and servicing inspections a transportation company offers, vehicles do occasionally break down or have incidents on the day. We recommend checking with your wedding transportation provider to see what backup plans they have if problems arise on the big day. 

Will they have another vehicle on hand if yours breaks down? Is another driver available on the day if yours is ill? You should be able to get all of these plans on paper so you're ready for anything on your special day. 

At Centaur Travel, we have a dedicated team that promises to get you where you need to be at the most affordable price - so you can let us take care of the logistics and save you some stress.

 

5. Do you want the vehicle to be decorated?

In keeping with the theme of your wedding, if you want to add decorations to your wedding transportation, you should check with your service provider to see if this is something they will allow or accomplish for you. Many couples who choose to travel in vintage vehicles on their wedding day wish to symbolise the beginning of their new adventure together by tying tin cans to the vehicle's bumper. So you want to know if your transportation company can handle such requests!
