Most firms include a chauffeur, ribbons and a set number of hours. Extra waiting time is charged. Ask what happens if photographs run long.

A short run within central Harrogate costs less than a long drive from Nidderdale.

Guest transport

A minibus or coach helps if the venue is out in the countryside and few guests want to drive. It also helps with taxis, which are hard to find after dark outside town.

Share the cost across guests, or treat it as a gift to older relatives.

Booking

Classic cars book up on summer Saturdays. Check the fuel, the insurance and the number of seats. Prices here are a guide, so request a quote.
