BURNING QUESTIONS In addition to everything we’ve already covered, to make sure you’ve thought of everything before you sign on the dotted line with your chosen supplier. We’ve compiled a final list of questions to arm you with. 1 Is my chosen vehicle available on my wedding date? Ensure you aren’t disappointed with an alternative on the day. 2What’s included in my package? Don’t get stung with any hidden fees; make sure you’re clear on what’s included and what counts as a chargeable extra. These could be anything from extra mileage to additional trips and time for photos. 3How long is the standard hire period? Many companies will have a onewedding-per-day policy and will be in no rush to leave you, while others may have other events to go to and are strict about timings. The worst thing on your big day is feeling hurried, it goes quickly enough as it is! 4Can we see the car before booking? Photos can be deceptive so it’s best to pay your vehicle a visit whether it be at a wedding fair or the supplier’s premises. Check it’s in the condition you’re expecting and whether you have enough room for the dress. 5What happens in the event of a breakdown? Set your mind at rest by understanding the backup plan. 6What are your payment terms? Learn how much your deposit is, when it’s due by, whether you lose it in event of cancellation, and when the balance is payable. 7 Are you fully insured? Do check that your provider has the necessary insurance in place. Wedding cars aren’t covered by everyday car insurance, they need a specialist policy. 8Are you familiar with our venue? Not only that the chauffeur knows the way of course, but also whether they know where they can park up, and if it’s suitable for the vehicle. unsplash.com@tomkulczycki pexels.com@simeart unsplash.com@iacobelu TRANSPORT 41
