2-3 months before your wedding date is enough time to book your wedding day transportation. Before making an appointment to visit a transportation company, you should have an idea of:

  • How many passengers will be in the vehicle.
  • How much you're willing to spend.
  • What type of car you want.
  • What colour you car you want.
  • All the locations that you'll need pick-ups and drop-offs.
  • The times for these pick-ups and drop-offs.

Type of Vehicles

  • What types of cars or limos do you have available?
  • How many passengers can the limo hold comfortably?
  • Ask to see the car that will be your's on your wedding day.
  • What colours do they have, interior and exterior.

Condition of Vehicles

  • What year and model is the car?
  • Is the car in good condition?
  • Always visit the company and look at the cars
  • Look at both the interior and exterior.

Chauffeurs

  • How will the chauffeur be dressed?
  • Do the chauffeurs provide good service.
  • Will the chauffeur know the route to all your locations?

Price

  • How does the company charge...by hour, by package?
  • Do they charge extra for long distances?
  • What is the overtime charge?
  • What's included in the price? (drinks, red carpet, snacks...)

Tipping

  • Is the tip already included? * Tipping rules: 10% tip is alright, 15% is average, 20% is giving for great service.

Discounts

  • Are there discounts for off season or non-Saturday weddings?
  • Is there a discount is more them one vehicle is booked?
  • Is there a discount if you book you stag and stagette vehicles with the same company?

Directions

  • Is your driver familiar with your different locations? * It's always a good idea to send the company written instructions and/or a map to all your locations.

Check References

  • Does the company have any references that you can check? * Checking references is a good thing.

Confirmation

  • Contact company whenever there have been changes made to your schedule or locations.
  • Your contract should include: the type, size and colour of car; pick-up and drop-off information with the times.
  • Confirm your reservation with the transportation company 1 week before your wedding date.
  • Ask them if they have all the directions to your different destinations.

Happy Travels!
