Surrey Wedding Cars

By Gavin Burnham


Not so long ago the choice of Surrey wedding car company was limited, there were the yellow pages and word of mouth recommendation from a friend for the supplier. The wedding cars in Surrey were restricted to vintage and classic makes usually operated by the owner or car enthusiast from his home in town. The car transfer involved a local pickup, a short trip to the church, then on to the reception nearby, how times have changed.

Recent changes in the law, social trends and new technology has given the bride and groom far more choice for their Surrey location of the service and reception. Fewer couples are married in church now, many couples are opting for something different, getting married in any one of a variety of Surrey venues such as a barn, or a castle, a hotel, a manor house, a pub or a venue with a theme, whichever is their dream location. The ceremony and the reception are very often at the same location, and these venues are open for business throughout the week and all year round.

Has the wedding car hire company changed with the times, are they be able to meet the new customer demands, will the vintage wedding car be able to meet the new customer demands. It will be vitally important to choose a wedding car supplier who understands the changing customer requirements and is able to offer the reliable service that meets the demands of todays wedding journey.

It was fine when the wedding car hire from a home wedding car operator, only had to travel a mile or two, today the cars are expected to travel further distances, and be able to cope with the density of todays town traffic and motorway speeds. It is more important than ever to make sure the wedding car will be able to make the journey.

A modern classic Rolls Royce Silver Shadow cost many thousands of pounds when new with servicing bills to match. The wedding car maybe older now, but the high servicing costs of these cars for the small car supplier has not changed. The classic car parked on the drive all year round will probably make the short trip around town but the longer journey will show up an under maintained car.

The Surrey wedding car hire suppliers meeting the new demands are generally the larger companies with their own selection of cars. They can afford to keep them together in a large garage to be viewed at anytime, be out of the weather elements and keep them in good condition and well maintained. They will operate their business all year round and be available during working hours and throughout the week. They will regularly use the cars on longer wedding transfers and operate them throughout the year, this is well known to improve the reliability of older cars. The larger business will have conducted more Surrey weddings, be more likely to know the church or venue and know the route and that the car is reliable for the distance.

In conclusion look for a well established full-time professional car hire company because this will be the supplier that is still in business when the wedding day comes round. There are many hobbyist wedding car owners out there that do not operate as a proper business.
