While weddings generally need rented transportation for moving large groups of people, some choose to take it a step farther and ramp it up to make a statement with their choice of transportation! You can choose anything from a classic car, town car, limo, trolley, bus, golf cart, boat, motorcycle, bicycle, rickshaw, horse & carriage, and many more options...
Suggested budget for transportation is 3%. For example, a $20,000 wedding budget should allow $600 for transportation services. Shifting other sections of the budget you may not use could increase this number if need be.

Wedding Party Transportation
If you have a large wedding party and multiple locations for events on wedding day, you'll need to look into providing transportation for everyone to travel together and stay on the same schedule. Moving everyone from ceremony to photos to reception always keeps things more on schedule rather than waiting for late arrivers...plus, everyone together in a party limo bus is super fun!

Guest Transportation
It's possible that you may have out of town guests who drive a long distance or fly in for your wedding. If this is the case, look into hotels close to your venue for them to stay at. The hotels generally offer free shuttle service to hotel guests, so you could give the hotel a call and arrange for your wedding guests to take advantage of that.
Grand Exit for Bride & Groom
I've seen so many different endings that drew ooh's, aah's and attention with their choice of exit vehicle! This is a (photographed) moment where an amazing vehicle would be the perfect end to your night!

1. Be sure to ask about additional charges you may incur; overtime charges, fuel charges, etc... The hourly rental cost doesn't always include everything and anything extra should be taken into consideration before booking.
2. If you're booking services for more than one evening (maybe you're doing bachelorette party one night, rehearsal one night, and wedding one night) be sure to ask about package deals. No matter what vendor, if you book multiple services or multiple packages they're likely to give you a discount.
3. If you have drivers or valet involved with your transportation rentals, be sure to tip the drivers. :)
