FAQ's
-
How do you charge for you service?R&R Wedding Cars charge by the hour, based on your requirements from pick up location, to ceremony location and potentially onto a reception location, you may also want location photos as well, we take all this information from you and workout timings based on 1, 2 or 3 hour hire. Mileage is charged additional if outside of the 15 mile radius of registered address Hancock Close, Somerset, TA4 2EU For example if it simply just one trip from pick up to one location we would see this as an hour minimum hire, to be at your location 30 minutes beforehand, take you to your destination could be local or a little further, which would equate to an hour. If you require for example pick up, then taken to a ceremony location such as a church or registry location then onto a reception location, we have to factor in the same as above plus waiting at your ceremony location while this is happening then taking you onto the reception which can be roughly 2-3 hours. Additional to the above you may want to spend some time 30-45 minutes having some location photos as well, this would then equate in total to 3-4 hours.
