“We used John & d'Luxe on our wedding day with amazing returns. Cars looked amazing, worked well even in the heat and John (and his secondary driver) was one of the friendliest and most accommodating vendors we had on the day. Looking forward to using d'Luxe's services in the future for a tour down the coast.” — James N

FAQ
d’Luxe Classic Wedding Cars have bookings available from a minimum of 3-hours through to a full day plus hotel return. They are more than happy to discuss any requests you may have.
The ’56 Chevrolet can fit four passengers plus driver with ease – there are four doors to make it happen without climbing.
But the ’57 is more tricky, with a folding front bench seat for access to the rear. In theory it can also accommodate four passengers, but it is not so nice for the ‘piggy in the middle’ or for those with mobility issues – so we say it’s best suited to a couple.
And there are seatbelts for all, in both cars.
There definitely is music. The ’56 is fitted with Bluetooth® stereo while the ’57 has its original AM radio restored and fitted with auxiliary input. In either case, driver or passenger phones can be made to play throughout. And there are playlists available specifically for these drives, with special attention to the mid-fifties jazz playlist collected by John through the years of the ’57 being restored. (That’s restoration music, in more than one sense of the word.)
They call it ‘4/40 Air Conditioning’ – four windows down and forty miles per hour, or ‘California Air Conditioning’! But seriously, even though these old cars tend to warm up with their V8 motors, the nature of vertical side windows make for pleasant driving breeze as you are going along – there’s none of that whistling or beating that happens with current-day cars. Unless it’s an absolute stinker on the day, all should be fine.
In a word, yes.
Both Chevrolets have comprehensive vehicle insurance commensurate with their registration type.
d'Luxe Classic Wedding Cars also carries public liability insurance in the event of losses or injury occurring separate to actual travel within vehicles. (Yep, lots of bases to cover in this game!)
Both Chevrolets are in excellent mechanical condition, the ’57 having driven just 10,000 miles (not kilometres) since restoration, and the ’56 having logged over 2,000 miles in its drive from Seattle to Los Angeles with only a flat tyre when being delivered for shipping. But cars of this age are bound to experience unexpected breakdown on the odd occasion. Should this happen, we will endeavor to substitute cars or arrange for continuation via third party hire.

Get Expert AdviceHow do you organise transport for the wedding?
We are looking at hiring a car for our wedding, we're quite confused on the hours we may need it for. We will all be getting ready at the same hotel, the guys will be leaving before the girls. Do I hire 1 car (limo) to take the guys and then wait for it to come back and pick us up and take us? Our ceremony and reception is at the same venue as well so we don't need a car once we have all been dropped off. Can we add on a price to the end to take just the bride and groom back to the hotel?
d'Luxe Classic Wedding Cars
To answer the last question first, yes, you can certainly hire a car just for the hotel return – or 'getaway', as we sometimes call it. And sometimes we are booked for that alone.
And to the main question, most wedding car hire companies will be flexible regardins what transport needs are sought, although many will work to a minimum callout fee – often three hours. For most weddings, transport to the services is required, then to the venue with photo stops in between. And multiply this out for weddings that are moving, say, the bride's and groom's parties separately at the outset and so on.
I would suggest that if the all the pick-up locations are close to the service/reception location then one limousine might do it – just time it so that the guys don't have to be waiting around for more than 30 minutes ... you don't want them getting into trouble!
Hope this helps.
