I’m getting married, and we’re staying at a hotel away from the wedding venue.
I want to book a ‘posh taxi’ from the evening venue to where me and the good lady are spending the night.

If you google wedding cars, you get all the classic Rolls wedding type stuff which is not what I’m after. Similarly, if you look for executive cars you get 7 series and E Class which although nice, is not the theme I’m after as it’s a bit corporate.

I’d like something a bit special, not even sure what, but something with the wow factor. Like a Masarati, Aston Rapide... something like that. You get the idea.

This isn’t a fish for a PH member to offer a freebie, but I’m after a company that do unusual or special cars for that journey. Wedding will be on the South Oxfordshire/Bucks boarder near Thame.

Any suggestions of where I could look?

Thanks

Maybe not exactly up to the 'marque' that you're thinking of but I've used these guys plenty of times in the past to get me to/from the airport. They have the Model X which is a bit different.....

When I was travelling for business between 2000 and 2011 my employer had an account with Hudson Cars for airport drop-offs and collections. Link here:- https://www.hudsoncars.co.uk/

As well as the usual E-Class, S-Class, A8, 7 Series and Range Rover the boss used to run a convertible Bentley so it might be worth an enquiry to see what they currently have.

Speak to Nik here. I've used him for years. The best around and have had 10+ cars from him. Good prices, high quality cars (they are all in fab condition) and can deliver. Proper nice guy and a car nut too. Tell him Arun said hi.

Alternatively, I recently had an insurance funded hire car from here:
https://exoticcars.enterprise.co.uk/en/index.html

Based in Heathrow and fantastic service, reasonable priced.
They cover the whole country with a good selection of cars, but they get booked up quickly.
They have a Rapide, E63s, DB11, 911, M4, Bentley etc.

I had a 991.2 Carrera S which was fantastic.

Great suggestion, and wonderful garage, but I’m looking to get driven as opposed to driving as I’ll not be in a fit state to drive at the end of the wedding reception wink

Nik has drivers too :-)
But you're right about Enterprise, sorry about that.

Diz, that could be bang on the money, thank you. Location is perfect, their driver portfolio sounds encouraging and would be good to use a driver of that back ground, would be quite fitting wink

I certainly agree with this. Stuart and Barry are absolute professionals and anybody would be happy with their cars and service.
