Can you get wedding hire insurance on a modern car?

Yes, you can get wedding hire insurance for a modern car, covering damage, liability, and breakdowns—whether it’s chauffeur-driven or self-drive.

Should I include public liability within my wedding car hire policy?

It’s highly recommended to include public liability insurance in your wedding car hire policy. This cover protects you in case a third-party (such as a wedding guest or pedestrian) is injured, or their property is damaged, during the use of your vehicle. Given the risks involved in operating a wedding car hire business, public liability insurance helps cover legal costs and compensation claims, offering valuable protection.

What is the difference between wedding car insurance and private hire insurance?

Wedding car insurance covers vehicles specifically hired for weddings, with less frequent use and lower risk. In contrast, private hire insurance is for vehicles used regularly in commercial services like taxis, with higher exposure to risk.

How much does wedding car insurance cost?

The cost of your insurance will depend on the level of cover you need, the type of vehicle(s) you have, and the risks you’re exposed to. As every wedding car service is unique, the required cover will vary. We can help you find a competitive price if you give us a call or send us an email with your details.

Wedding car insurance in detail

A wedding car is often a crucial element of a wedding, as many couples aim to make their day as memorable as possible. Brides may choose to arrive in a classic Bentley, Rolls Royce, an executive car or an American classic. We specialise in providing insurance for a wide range of vehicles, including vintage and classic cars, kit cars, and classic camper vans. This allows us to offer wedding car hire cover for many situations. Our cover can also include:

Low excess

You can choose the total excess payable, from £50.

Fully comprehensive

Fully comprehensive cover includes protection for damage, fire, theft, and third-party liability.

Agreed value

For classic cars, these pay out on an 'agreed value' basis in the event of a claim where the vehicle is written off or stolen and not recovered. This means you’ll know exactly how much the claim will pay because the amount has been pre-agreed.

Mileage discount

For classic cars, a limited mileage discount is available, ideal if vehicles aren’t driven much and are primarily hired out, keeping the mileage low. Normal mileage brackets are 1,500, 3,000 and 5,000 miles per annum for vehicles other than classic a car.

Laid-up and build-up cover

Provides optional protection for accidental damage, fire, and theft while your vehicle is off the road, including during restoration.

Cover multiple vehicles

Cover available for multiple vehicles, ideal for wedding hire firms managing a fleet of cars.

A range of vehicle types covered

Cover is available for bespoke, classic, and American cars, including vintage Rolls-Royce and Bentley models, as well as iconic classics like a Jaguar E-Type, Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, Cadillac, Dodge Charger, Lincoln Continental, VW Campervan, and more.
