Present/treat for the groom?

Wouldn't appeal to me and OH as both not into cars plus I would want to get my OH something he can keep as a wedding gift/treat rather then a quick experience.

Not for me either as I don't know enough about cars to know if that is the type of car that OH would like. Also, I was at a wedding recently where the bride did this and the groom got really stressed as he had to wait for the designated pick up time rather than going to the venue nice and early like he wanted. Plus our house is so clode to the church we are getting married in my OH could walk there if he wanted, so would be a waste of money for me.

My OH loves his cars but for him the driving experience is the thing rather than being driven in someone else's, however good it might look. So if he couldn't drive it, I doubt it would be much of a treat.

Great idea! We often get our campers booked as a gift suprise to collect the Groom on the big day too. There are a couple of things to think about:

- You need special wedding car insurance to operate such a service, so this may require you to increase the price to cover costs

- There are licensing rules which means that without a taxi / private hire license for both the vehicle, your operator (ie business) and driver, you would be restricted to just weddings (and funerals!) - which is a shame as it rules out birthday treats and proms unless you pay out the whopping fee for the licenses

- You may struggle for space if the Groom has a best man and ushers to bring along with various bags / suitcases

However, as a special treat for any brides looking to buy something different and memorable, it sounds like a fab plan!

Good luck with it!!!

Not one I go for as OH is a terrible passenger and gets car sick if he doesn't drive.

I'm buying him something he can keep (I think a telescope)

My OH would have LOVED this. We're already married now, but if you asked him, he'd say do it!

Thank you all for your responses so far. I've posted the same question on a couple of other sites and have been asked more than once if the car would be available to hire privately for the day or the weekend so i have done a little ringing round insurance companies. The quotes they are coming back with are running into thousands of pounds which explains why when i tried to hire an Aston Martin for my husbands birthday they wanted to charge over £2000!

if this is something your looking to do but coming back with ridiculously high hire rates this may explain why !
