Little Tip for Hiring your Wedding Transport from the Managing Director of Premier Carriage.
We have plenty of cute and quirky affordable wedding cars starting from £225 to over £650. Cost of hire depends on the travelling distance in-between your venues, length of hire and the type of vehicle. Although hiring a vehicle to take you to the ceremony, wait and onwards to the Reception won't be a lot more money than a one-hour hire from Ceremony to Reception.
