Budget Wedding Tips - Part 9: Transportation

Our Wedding Car - it rained on our wedding day which made for Gorgeous photos
Wedding Transport


As with the theme you're probably noticing in these wedding posts, we wanted something that looked gorgeous and classy, but really didn't want to spend big $ on hiring a guy to drive us in a car then wait around for hours for us.


I looked into the option of hiring a luxury car, and getting family members to drive us to the wedding.


We ended up hiring a couple of Audis from Europcar which was great, because I could book them online, we didn't need to pay any deposit (cash flow when organising a wedding can become problematic when you're constantly paying deposits all over the place) - we just had to pay when we picked up both cars.


We picked up the cars the day before the wedding and organised for an uncle to drive the bridesmaids, and my brother to drive my dad and myself.  The bridal car was hired for 2 days so we could drive away in it after the reception to our wedding night accommodation.


It ended up costing us a few hundred dollars for 2 luxury cars that looked smashing with the white wedding ribbon attached on the day!




**Please note, some car hire companies don't hire their cars for weddings due to past damage in similar circumstances, and at the time we hired from Europcar we disclosed to them they were for a wedding which was ok, but their policy may not be the same now.. please check before you hire**
