Wedding Cars Frequently Asked Questions

---

Where are you based and what area do you cover?
We have partnered with a number excellent wedding car suppliers covering most of Ireland. Subject to the vehicle chosen, we usually cover most destinations

Do you have a price list?
Yes we have a standard price list however as each booking is unique we recommend that you contact us to talk through your requirements and we can customise the package to meet your requirements more effectively.

Can we view your cars?
We encourage and welcome viewings but please be aware you will need to arrange this through our partners and be aware that you may need to travel to see the vehicle

Will you take the bridesmaids and/or the brides mother to the church if we only book one car?
If the travelling time from the pick up point to the place of the wedding is within 10 - 15 minutes (taking traffic into account) this can be arranged at no extra cost. If it is likley to be longer additional transport might be considered more practical for your Bridesmaids.  You must also consider possible traffic and road conditions, if these are not good an earlier journey using the Bride's car may allow it to become delayed or dirty by the time the Bride travels.

If on the day we want to make an additional trip or go to a different destination is this OK.
As mentioned above, the amount you will have paid has been based on the information given at the time of your booking, however the Chauffeur will be as flexible and understanding as possible.


Are Ribbons and Champagne included?
Yes we can provide ribbons in whatever colour is required. Champagne is complimentary with the Vintage Cars and Limousines.

How long do we have the use of the car(s) on the day?
Although there is no overall time limit, always advise us if your wedding ceremony or timing requirements are to be longer than the normal in order for a correct quote to be given.  Suffice to say the vehicle will be yours for the full duration of the wedding and on average we are with you for about 3 hours for a full church wedding or civil venue wedding where an onward journey is required. Unless we are advised that you require extended timings our normal quote covers up to 4 hours in attendance, which includes taking Bride and Father to the ceremony venue, waiting time during the ceremony and the following photographs, then taking the Bride and Groom on to the reception venue.

A short stop off for photographs at an additional location can be included on direct route to the reception but please advise if you require this at the time of reservation.  After the Bride and Groom have arrived safely at the reception venue the car will depart back to it's base.  

Is the car going to attend other weddings in the same day.
Absolutely not, Bond Cars will only book each car out to one wedding per day. 

Are you available for weekday weddings?
Yes thats no problem our cars are available for weddigns or special occasions any day of the week. Please email or call our office for further information.

How far in advance should we book our wedding transport. 
To make sure you can reserve your first choice of vehicle we would suggest if your wedding is being held on a Saturday then you should think of booking around 12-18 months in advance.  If your wedding is being held on any other day of the week then booking 9 to 12 months in advance would be advisable. If you require a number of vehicles that match in colour or model type then we would advise booking 12-18 months in advance for whichever day of the week the wedding is being held. 

How do I book a car?
You need to complete a booking form and pay 50 Euro deposit per car. Only then is your car confirmed for your wedding day or special event. Please email for your quote and a booking form.

How Do We Pay & Can We Pay On The Day.
We accept payment made by Cash, Cheque, Bank Draft & Credit Card. However under normal circumstances we regret that we can not accept final payment on the day.  To secure a vehicle our terms are €80 non refundable deposit per vehicle to be received on booking, with the balance to be received not later than 21 days before the wedding day. 

What happens after I have paid my deposit and confirmed the car?
We have all your details on your booking form. The week of your wedding or event we will call you to confirm these details and times are correct.

Do you provide honeymoon transfers?
Yes, however our more modern cars such as Mercedes would be better suited to do this

Could you arrive back later in the evening and drive the Bride & Groom from the reception venue to the place where they will be staying overnight.
Yes of course, but for reasons of visibility and your own safety during darkness hours some of the older vehicles would not be suitable for today's road conditions during darkness, especially in country roads, however our more modern cars would be able to do this.  Again for reasons of visibility and safety the car may not be in wedding ribbons during darkness hours, your safety remains our No.1 priority.  The evening trip would also be at an additional charge.


In A  Worst Case Scenario.....What if the car becomes unserviceable or breaks down before the wedding day.
We hope this situation does not occur, however vehicles as we all know can break down or need unscheduled repairs despite all the care lavished upon them.  If your car is unable to carry out the wedding and the problem manifests itself prior to your wedding day you will be informed immediately and will be offered another vehicle from those available.  If you are not happy with any of the cars offered as a replacement a suitable car from other reputable companies will be sought and if successful all monies paid will be returned so you can enter into a new arrangement with the other company.  Please bear in mind that if the original car booked is a classic vintage car the chances of finding a similar car of unique character or specific colour may prove unachievable at short notice. 

Should we tip our Chauffeur.
This is a decision the client must make based on the service they receive on the day. Your Chauffeur should provide a service above and beyond what you and we expect. So therefore although not expected a tip would be received as a kind gesture of appreciation.
