Choosing a Transport Company
By Jan Littlejohn
1. Of course you want to arrive in style,
but everyone’s idea of style is different. Some have dreams
of the ever romantic horse and carriage, while others could
think of nothing better than roaring to the ceremony on the
back of a Harley Davidson motorcycle.
2. Whatever you decide do your homework to make sure you are
100% confident that you get what you ask for.
3. Ask the company about their minimum hire time – most are
between 3 and 4 hours. Some offer cheaper packages at
different times of year, or have deals if you book well in
advance find out exactly what your price includes.
4. Don’t be hesitant to quiz the company about their vehicle
insurance, maintenance programs and drivers qualifications
you want to be certain they will get you to your ceremony on
time.
5. Ensure that you get the car you order and not one similar
– this is particularly important if you have chosen a
vehicle for its colour.
6. Read the cancellation policy carefully. Its pretty
standard to lose your deposit if you cancel at the last
minute, while others allow a certain time frame in case you
change your mind.
7. Make sure there’s a mention of refund in writing if the
company does the unthinkable and fails to show up. While
both unthinkable and unlikely, you need to make sure you
cover yourself – ask about back up vehicles.
8. Give the company you book and easy to read list of the
addresses they are picking up from with contact numbers for
each location and exact times you want them to arrive and
depart.
9. You should allow time for decorations and photographs
particularly for the bride’s car before heading off to the
ceremony.
