Setting up a wedding car business

[sparkyhx]

Hi guys

I hope you don't mind me posting in here but do any of you know whats involved in setting up a little sideline hiring yourself and your car out for weddings etc.

I assume I would need some kind of 'public liability' insurance - but is there anything else - like medicals and licences etc.

thanks in anticipation

You don't need licensing from your local council, but you will need to tell your insurance company what you are doing who will put your car on the correct policy.

hi own a wedding car/ self drive prestige car hire business. been running for around 3 years. took alot of effort to where i am now. if you going to set this up you have to consider all options pricing, costs paying a chuaffeur to drive your car or cars its not something you can set up and make big money from but it does give a good return if ran correctly.

I'm only thinking of doing the odd weekend jobs and I will do the chauffering.

It came partly from someone asking if I was going to use my car for weddings and I got to thinking why not? - I enjoy driving, I have the car anyway, and I might make enough to cover annual maintenance insurance etc. - Its not aimed at being a money spinner - I will be at the bottom end of the market in the where its a close choice between "having a car for the wedding and not having a car".

A bit like when I do wedding photos just to fund camera equipment.

So I was enquiring about what hoops I need to jump thru and then what costs it would incurr just to earn a small amount.
