Frequently asked questions

Wedding car hire, answered

Everything Glasgow couples ask us about booking, prices, the cars, and the day itself. If yours isn't here, email info@CoopersWeddingCars.co.uk.

Booking & pricing

How much does wedding car hire in Glasgow cost?

Our wedding cars start at £185 for a Ceremony Only service (one journey) and £370 for a Full Day service (four hours) on the Chrysler Baby Bentley. Mileage is £1.20 per mile on top for the Baby Bentley and Mercedes, £1.80 per mile on the Beauford Tourer. The best way to get an exact price is to use our booking page — it calculates a live quote from the addresses you enter.

How much deposit do I need to pay to book a wedding car?

A £50 non-refundable deposit per car secures your booking. The outstanding balance is due 30 days before your wedding. You can pay the balance at any time in between through your booking portal.

How far in advance should I book a wedding car?

For Saturday weddings in June to September, we recommend booking 9–12 months ahead. For midweek or off-peak dates (November to March), 3–6 months is usually enough. If your wedding is soon, check our booking page — we do sometimes have last-minute availability.

Do you offer wedding car hire outside Glasgow?

Yes — we cover Glasgow and central Scotland. Anywhere within roughly 60 miles of Glasgow (Edinburgh, Stirling, Loch Lomond, Ayrshire) is standard. Further afield is possible — drop us an email and we will confirm.

Can I cancel or change my wedding car booking?

Yes. We offer a 14-day goodwill cooling-off period from the moment you book, during which you can cancel for a full refund (minus the £50 deposit). After that, changes are usually free if the wedding is more than 30 days away. You can manage your booking through the portal link in your confirmation email.

The cars

What wedding cars do you offer?

We have five cars: two Chrysler Baby Bentleys (pearl white, Bentley-style grille, four passengers), a Mercedes E-Class (sleek black modern luxury, four passengers), a Beauford Tourer (1930s-style classic convertible, three passengers), and a luxury 16-seat minibus for group transport.

Can I book two wedding cars for the same day?

Yes — many couples book two cars so the bridesmaids or parents have their own. The booking page lets you pick any combination. Each car is priced individually and the total is the sum. The cars arrive at different pickup addresses if needed.

Is the Beauford Tourer a real 1930s car?

It is styled on 1930s convertibles and is a modern hand-built tourer on a reliable modern chassis — so you get the classic look with none of the reliability worries of a genuine pre-war car on your wedding day.

Are the cars fully insured?

Yes. All our cars carry fully comprehensive hire & reward insurance, and our chauffeurs are licensed and experienced. We are happy to provide certificates on request.

On the day

What time will the wedding car arrive?

Your car will arrive 15 minutes before the pickup time you booked. That gives buffer for photos with the car before the journey and means you are never waiting.

Are ribbons and flowers included?

Yes. All our cars come with silk flowers and ribbons in your chosen colour as standard — no extra charge. We will ask you to confirm your ribbon colour in your booking portal, typically 30 days before the wedding.

Is bubbly included in the wedding car hire?

Yes — complimentary bubbly is included for the bride and groom in the main car. You can upgrade to a premium champagne if you prefer; contact us via your booking portal to add that on.

Will the same chauffeur be driving on the day?

We confirm driver details 7 days before your wedding in your portal and in a final confirmation email. Our chauffeurs are uniformed, fully licensed, and used to wedding-day schedules.

Can the car wait at the reception or take us home?

Full Day service includes up to four hours of the car with you, which is enough for almost any schedule including photos between the ceremony and reception. If you want the car to return for an evening pick-up we can arrange that — ask about our Double Journey service.

Extras & special requests

Can I add photo stops on the way to the ceremony?

Yes — one scenic stop is usually free within a reasonable detour. You can add more via your booking portal or just mention them to your chauffeur on the day. Popular Glasgow stops include Kelvingrove Park and Pollok Country Park.

Do you provide a car seat for children?

We can fit a forward- or rear-facing child seat on request (no extra cost) — please request this through your booking portal so the chauffeur has it fitted before they arrive.

Can I use the wedding cars for a proposal or other event?

Yes — we occasionally do surprise proposals, milestone anniversaries, and prom nights. Drop us an email at info@CoopersWeddingCars.co.uk with your date and we will put together a tailored quote.

Do you offer wedding car hire as a gift voucher?

Not at the moment — gift vouchers are on our roadmap. For now, you can make the booking yourself and forward the confirmation, or email us to arrange a custom voucher.
