Pros and cons of booking a wedding limousine

Back to Blog

Your wedding day is one of the most special events of your life so it’s only natural that you’ll want to make sure that it is a day to remember. For many brides, one of the best ways to feel truly pampered is to hire a wedding limousine. However, as many couples have also discovered, planning a wedding often costs more than they initially budgeted for, and a wedding limousine will add to that amount. That’s why it’s important to weigh up the pros and cons of booking a wedding limo before you make a decision, particularly if you have budgetary or other concerns.

Pros of booking a wedding limousine

Convenience and stress free transportation are the first things that come to mind, as no bride wants to worry about whether or not she’ll get to her wedding ceremony on time. It’s one thing to be fashionably late, and quite another to be so late that your guests (and your groom) begin to get restless and bored.

Having a wedding limousine is an unforgettable experience and, for some, a once-in-a-lifetime chance to ride in the car of their dreams. These days, wedding limousines are available in a range of styles, colours and choices, so you’ll definitely be able to choose the vehicle that best suits the style and theme of your big day – whether you prefer a traditional make and model limo, or something completely different to ensure a unique wedding experience.

From a practical point of view, a limo can hold a large number of people so you and your bridal party could travel together if you wish. Also, there will be plenty of space and legroom in a limo, so your wedding dress will not get crushed and you won’t arrive looking like your gown needs ironing.

If you want to celebrate with a glass of champagne or two, then you can relax in the knowledge that you are in a safely driven vehicle and you can definitely enjoy a drink. You can also plan your route so that if you need to collect your bridesmaids or maid of honour on the way, all this will be taken care of, and you won’t need to worry about traffic, the route or parking. Your driver is a trained professional and it is their job to ensure that you and your entourage arrive in a safe and timely manner.

Depending on where your venue is, the cost of hiring a wedding limo can sometimes be a “pro”. This is particularly the case if your venue is some distance away, because being able to include a number of people in the limousine with you means the others will be able to save on the cost of getting to the venue individually. More importantly, it will also save you the worry of whether everyone is able to find their way and make it on time.

Cons of booking a wedding limousine

Depending on the length of the journey, how long you will need the limo for and whether you require any extras, the price tag for hiring a wedding limo could get expensive. Also, wedding limousines are very popular with brides so if there’s a particular vehicle that you would like, you will have to decide early, plan ahead and make your booking.

In conclusion, the pros of hiring a wedding limousine far outnumber the cons, but that doesn’t mean you should rush into a decision. Look at your budget, think about what you want, and if you do decide a wedding limousine is for you, start looking into your options now!

Vehicle Sanitisation & Cleaning Procedures:

All vehicles are sanitised after every transfer is performed. We are focused on the strict cleaning of highly touched surfaces. We use both antibacterial spray and wipes to help reduce the possible spread of any bacteria from one client to another. Hand sanitiser is also now available in all vehicles for client use.

Reservation Changes & Cancellations due to COVID-19:

As per current advice and guidelines provided by both Fair Trading NSW and by the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (A.C.C.C.), any transfer bookings made for a future date that have been cancelled or suspended (including those by any Airlines/Cruise Lines) because of a COVID-19 related issue (e.g. Public Health Orders, regional lockdowns, cancelled third party events due to capacity restrictions etc), can only be eligible for a full travel credit of the amount paid, which is valid for 3 years from the date of affected travel. All changes are to be advised as soon as possible by email to “bookings@highclasslimousines.com.au”. 
(PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately, no guarantee can be given that any specific booked vehicle may be available on a future date. All re-scheduled bookings where travel credits are redeemed are pending vehicle availability.) 

Face Masks are now PREFERRED:

Newly implemented changes to state regulations have made the use of face masks non-compulsory. However, to maintain a high level of safety, it is company preference that both drivers and travelling passengers continue to wear a face mask during any transfer.

This does not apply to:

children under 12
persons with a physical or mental health illness or condition, or disability that makes wearing a fitted face covering unsuitable including, for example, a skin condition, an intellectual disability, autism or trauma.

WE ALWAYS STRONGLY ADVISE TRAVEL INSURANCE
