Planning for your wedding day can be a daunting prospect. There are so many things to organise, which church to book, which style of wedding dress should you choose and even which wedding car hire company to use. It can seem as if there is so much to plan, yet so little time. However, the following tips should help to give you an idea of the questions that you should be asking yourself, before deciding which company to entrust to deliver you to your wedding, on time and in style:

-Consider what type of car you would like to arrive at the church in. Some companies specialise in providing the older, classic type of wedding car, such as the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud. Alternatively, there are other companies that prefer to use a modern style of motorcar, such as the Rolls Royce Phantom, which has been manufactured with coach style rear doors, allowing a more graceful exit of the vehicle. A further benefit to choosing a modern vehicle may be the reliability factor. If you plan to go on a long journey in your wedding car, the last thing that you want to happen is breakdown and have to wait to be rescued.

-Confirm with the wedding car hire company that they have a vehicle in reserve, just in case there are any problems with your first choice of wedding car. If there is no reserve vehicle, what will happen if the initial car has a mechanical fault? After a long time planning your wedding, you will want it to go ahead without any hitches.

-It may be worth taking into account the time of year you are due to get married. If it is during the summer months, you may want to use a vehicle which has air-conditioning. After spending a considerable amount of time on your hair and make-up, it is unlikely that you will want to arrive at your wedding hot and bothered.

-It is important to speak to friends and family, to see if they can recommend a company to you. If you know someone who has used a company before which has provided a good level of customer service, it makes sense to consider using the same company. Alternatively, there maybe various websites or search engines, such as Google or Yahoo, which allow past customers to leave a review for a particular company. Although, this may not be a definitive guide, it is still worth doing some research and seeing what sort of reviews a company are receiving.

-Cheapest is not always best. It is worth paying a little extra, if it means getting the car that you want, at a time that you want.

-If possible try to view the vehicle before you confirm the booking. You will want to arrive at your wedding in a vehicle that is immaculately presented, as opposed to looking a little worn around the edges.

-Finally, try to book your wedding car as early as possible. Weddings are more popular during the summer months, so if you want to have the car of your choice then do not leave the wedding car hire arrangements to the last minute.

Getting married is a wondrous occasion and your wedding day should be one of the best days of your life. Your choice of wedding car can really enhance the event and should be an important part of your wedding plans. If you follow the above tips, you should have a better idea as to what to ask any prospective wedding car hire company before you sign on the dotted line.
