Grooms Cars
Grooms cars, are they traditional? No. Are they becoming more popular? Yes. Why? Because many a best man wants to give the groom a really different wedding present.
The choice of cars available to grooms is huge, ranging from a million pound Bugatti Veyron to Del Boy’s yellow van and most things in between. Cars are available for self drive or chauffeur driven and yes, the Veyron is available self drive but extremely difficult to get as it is virtually by invitation only and costs in the region of £17,500 a day! A little less expensive are the more usual super cars including the ubiquitous Ferrari and the beautiful Aston Martins, ranging from £800 for a long weekend hire to £7500 a day for a Ferrari Enzo. A three day weekend hire, self drive in a Hummer costs in the region of £1300.
Moving down the scale an E type jaguar will cost around £300 per day and a convertible Morris Minor would be about £150 a day. Most cars are available for self drive so use Google to find the suppliers in your area.
For chauffeur driven vehicles the choice is enormous and restricted only by your imagination. Del Boy’s van has turned up at many weddings with the groom and best man, as has the ‘A Team’ van with all the ushers as well. Don’t forget some fabulous late fifties American fins and chrome or of course a second vintage car. With two cars you can simply mix and match so the bride and groom can ride in both cars – that can easily stop the first argument as to which car to hire.
If you are going down the route of self drive super cars you will need an exemplary driving record, a totally clean licence and an extremely good bank balance!
Enjoy the experience.
Just to put a slight damper on things, don’t forget to add VAT for self drive (£3000+ if you’re in the market for the Veyron).
