Cars… and More

The world of weddings—one of the toughest to navigate—often feels like a labyrinth with no clear exit. Ideas stack up, proposals chase one another, and decisions hinge on a single detail that, if overlooked, can derail the entire celebration. You’re juggling multiple factors in a tight timeframe, usually underprepared. Among the many essentials is the wedding car. Who will be driving? Where should the bride sit? And above all, what does it cost to rent a car? Let’s take a closer look…

By tradition, the bride’s family covers the cost of the wedding car and its floral decorations. On the big day, the bride is the first to enter the vehicle— in a classic model, she takes the right side of the back seat— and the last to exit. Seated next to her is her father, right behind the driver’s seat, which might be occupied by the bride’s brother, another close relative, the car’s owner, or a chauffeur hired just for the occasion.

Upon arrival at the venue, the car should pull up as close to the entrance as possible. Make sure to secure any special permits required for restricted streets or public squares. Also, choose your vehicle with the route in mind: narrow roads or rough terrain can lead to unpleasant surprises.

While many couples opt for a professional rental, a budget-friendly alternative is borrowing a car from friends or relatives. If you go this route, don’t forget to thank your generous lender with a small gift or reimburse their expenses.

If you want everything done by the book, turn to the experts. Rental rates vary with factors like model and season, but here are some ballpark figures: mid-size cars start at around €250; vintage models range from €500 to €600; and exclusive luxury vehicles can run €1,000 or more.

What’s included in the wedding package? Beyond the car and driver, you’ll typically get extras like tulle ribbon decorations and customized route planning— mapping your journey from the bride’s home to the ceremony site, then on to photo locations and the reception venue.

Timing depends on how elaborate your needs are—think of it like booking your wedding dress, makeup artist, or hair stylist. The more extensive your requirements, the sooner you should reserve. Verify that the rental company holds the proper license, and clarify payment terms: cash, bank transfer, or credit card; full payment or installments.

Is your dress grand and your wedding even grander? A limousine’s dramatic flair is perfect for wowing guests. Known for thinking outside the box? A sporty model suits a rustic village with narrow lanes. If you’re as romantic as a Peynet illustration, go vintage. And if none of those fit, explore alternatives: horse-drawn carriage, speedboat, motorcycle, bicycle, even tractor—any ride is fair game when you say “I do!”
