No need for speed

We put the all-important questions to our experts... This time we quizzed Marcus of Paladins Classic Cars.

Q How long do we get the car for?

Marcus says: For however long you reasonably need it! However, some companies may impose limits, meaning you can only hire the car for a certain amount of time, or there might be an hourly charge on top of the standard hire charge. You’ll find, though, that reputable companies won’t impose unreasonable time limits, meaning you can take full advantage of the car without having to clock-watch.

With no time limit, extra possibilities automatically open up, such as being able to take the bridesmaids to the venue before returning for the bride. Likewise, after the “I dos,” the car can stay for photos or take the happy couple for a scenic drive together.

Having a time limit changes the dynamic, and however much you plan for the big day, things always take longer than you expect, whether it’s getting ready in the morning or taking wedding photos after the service. So look for a company that doesn’t impose unreasonable time limits. It gives you one less thing to worry about.
