How we calculate
- For each car class we use market prices for about 4 hours and for a full day (about 10 hours). The price for your hours lies on the line between them, so 8 hours cost less than twice 4 hours.
- Most companies have a 3-hour minimum, so we never count fewer hours.
- We add a 20% driver gratuity - many companies put 18-20% on the bill automatically.
- Travel from outside the service area is counted both ways (about $4 per mile, about $8 for a carriage on a trailer). The area of the wedding shifts rental prices.

Questions and answers
How many hours do we need a wedding car for?
Usually 3-4 hours: picking you up, the ceremony, a few photos, and the ride to the reception. Keep the car for the whole evening only if you want a grand exit at the end - a second short booking is often cheaper than paying the car to wait.
Is the gratuity included?
Often it is: many companies add 18-20% to the bill automatically. Check the contract - if it is not included, tip the driver 15-20% in cash at the end of the ride.
