Which car for which occasion, explained

For each reason people rent — a wedding, prom, a birthday or bachelor weekend, a proposal, a corporate day, a shoot or a production — which car fits, how long it is needed, what it costs and the rules that come with the day.

An occasion changes the question. Nobody choosing a wedding car is choosing a car; they are choosing an arrival, a photograph and a departure, and the car has to do all three without a scratch on the paint or a hair out of place. Prom is a question about age before it is a question about cars. A shoot is a question about light, permits and how long the car can stand still. This hub answers the day, not the model.

Each occasion has a page that books it — weddings, prom, corporate days, picture cars — and those pages carry the rates and the calendar. The articles here are the part the booking page cannot hold: the decoration rules and what they do to the deposit, where the car waits at a venue with a gravel drive, who is allowed to drive a wedding car when everyone else has had champagne, and what a production team needs to know before the call sheet is printed.
