The fine details
The company you phone will want to know fine details about your journey – so it is important to note down the exact pick-up and drop-off addresses. Think about how much time you would like your chauffeur and vehicle to be in attendance as this is a vital part of the costing.
Most wedding parties decide to be transported to the wedding from the bride’s house, then be taken to the reception after and then the chauffeur can be on his way!

Book early – as much as twelve months in advance!
The wedding season is the busiest in chauffeur and limousine business calendar so it is vital you phone the local companies as soon as you decide on your wedding dates.

See the car
When you have decided what car you want to book – arrange a time with the company to go and see it. Unfortunately there are still a number of crooked operators out there, so if they refuse or avoid you seeing the car – walk away!
When you go, ask to see a copy of their insurance, public liability and MoT certificate for the vehicle – this will also make sure the vehicle is legal. Again, any excuses – walk away!

Before the day
So, you’ve booked your car – and the chauffeur has taken a deposit and you are just a month away from your big prom.
Give the company a call and confirm the booking. Make sure they have the correct date and time and they plan to send the same vehicle you have booked.
Finally, the day before, make another call – Do not feel you are being a pain – you are the customer. Check all the details with the company again and confirm the venue and payment details.

Contacting the driver
Emotions will be flowing and you’ll be excited – but it is very important you take the drivers mobile number so you can find him when you need him if you have a returned journey booked. Try and do this before you arrive at the venue.
