Wedding Day Transportation: Making an Elegant Getaway


Wedding Day Transportation: Making an Elegant Getaway

One of the most anticipated moments of a wedding, apart from the “I do’s,” is the couple’s elegant exit. A memorable wedding getaway is not just about leaving the venue, but doing so in style. In this piece, we’ll delve into the charm of wedding day transportation, exploring options from party buses to classic cars, and of course, limousines. Plus, a bonus tip on how to immortalize that stylish exit in photos.

Party Buses: A Modern Take on Wedding Transportation

If you’re thinking about getting the entire wedding party involved in your memorable exit, then a party bus might be the way to go. A wedding party bus isn’t your ordinary transportation option; it’s designed with the festivity in mind. Think music, lighting, and ample space to keep the celebration going. This is particularly apt for those who have a venue located a distance away from the reception or hotel. It ensures that the merriment continues, even on the road.

Classic Cars: Vintage Charm and Elegance

For the couples who love all things vintage, classic cars are the perfect pick. Imagine a pristine Rolls Royce, a sleek Jaguar, or a gorgeous Bentley waiting for you outside the venue. The sheer nostalgia these vehicles evoke can add an unparalleled charm to your exit. Known colloquially as the “getaway car,” classic vehicles are often the crowning jewel of a wedding’s aesthetic.

Limousines: Timeless Luxury

When one thinks of luxurious wedding transportation, limousines often come to mind. Synonymous with class, space, and luxury, limos have been a staple of wedding transport for decades. Offering plenty of space for a voluminous wedding gown or a group of bridesmaids, it’s no wonder they remain a popular choice.

Picture-Perfect Moments

No matter which mode of transport you choose, don’t forget to use it as a backdrop for some stunning photos. From a bride’s reflection in the shiny surface of a classic car to the entire wedding party cheering from a party bus, these moments captured in photos become treasured memories.

A Look at Costs and Etiquette

Now, onto the practical details. Renting costs vary based on factors like location, duration, and the vehicle’s model. On average:

  • Party buses could set you back anywhere from $100 to $500 per hour.
  • Classic cars often come at a premium, ranging from $200 to $800 for a few hours.
  • Limousines tend to cost between $100 to $300 per hour, depending on the type and length.

It’s customary and a courteous gesture to tip the driver. For wedding transportation, a tip of 15-20% of the total bill is standard, though always check if gratuity is included in your rental package.


Choosing the right wedding day transportation adds a magical touch to your special day. Whether you dream of a festive exit with your entire party or a more intimate, classic escape, there’s an option out there to perfectly fit your vision. Remember to consider both style and practicality, and you’ll be on your way to making a grand, memorable exit.
