Yes, the insurance we use is a Classic & Collectable Vehicle Insurance Policy with KGM (Lloyd's). With wedding use speciality cover, liability for passengers is covered while travelling in the car, or while getting in or out of the car.

 

What happens if the Rolls-Royce breaks down on or before the wedding day?

As a small outfit, with two vehicles, we would always have one on standby and should the Mercedes need to replace the Rolls-Royce, an appropriate reduction of your fee would be given. From January 2007, we will have a Daimler Limousine available which offers an enormous space for brides and can seat 6 passengers. This car will act as first choice, additional car or backup car.

 

Will you be using the cars for other weddings on the same day?

No. We book out a car for your wedding only so that valeting is done that morning and the prepared car is yours for the day. This means that you are not rushed before or after the ceremony and are not kept waiting by other users.

 

May we come and see the cars before we make any final decisions?

Yes. Both cars are available for viewing and we would recommend this. After all, you want to be sure that the colour and presentation of the cars are what you would expect. You might also want to meet the driver and to see if there is enough room in the back of the car for your wedding dress, especially if it is a full style gown. You may also like to see the cars when they are in use at a wedding.

 

Is a trip for the Bridesmaids and Bride's Mother available if we only book one car?

Yes, so long as the venues are close by. If the journey was a long one, you would not want the first party arriving at the wedding venue too early before the bride. Many weddings involve short trips between home and the wedding venue and so two journeys are available.

 

Has the chauffeur been police checked for work with children and young people such as bridemaids?

Yes, the chauffeur holds a current Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) - Enhanced Disclosure certificate, number 001065746616 with no records listed. Working with bridesmaids, pageboys and carrying school-age pupils to school Proms requires this CRB check to be in place. As an extra precaution, children under the age of 16 should always be accompanied by an adult chaparon when in the cars.

 

How are you catering for the recent changes in the law regarding in-car seating for children?

Children under 135cm in height or under 12 years of age must use a proper car seat. A booster seat may be provided to raise the height of a child to a position where the adult seat belt fits more securely, safely and comfortably. Exemptions are in place for this law (taxi journeys and occasional journeys), however, we would prefer to be safer than sorry! You can provide your own highback booster seat or use our booster cushion). For further information on the new laws, visit www.thinkroadsafety.gov.uk
