Wedding Car Checklist: 12 Questions to Ask Your Rental Provider

Your wedding day is one of the most important milestones of your life, and every detail matters — including how you arrive. A wedding car is more than just a vehicle; it’s an experience that sets the tone for your big day. Whether you’re planning a grand Baraat entry, a classic bridal arrival, or simply need smooth logistics between venues, choosing the right wedding car rental provider is crucial.

At Sudarshan Cars, we specialize in premium chauffeur-driven cars for weddings across India. To help you make the right decision, here’s a wedding car checklist with 12 essential questions you should ask your rental provider before booking.

1. What types of wedding cars are available?

Not all weddings are the same — and neither are all cars. Ask your provider for a list of available options:

  • Luxury sedans like Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, or Mercedes E-Class for the bride and groom
  • SUVs like Toyota Fortuner or Innova Crysta for family transport
  • Vintage cars for a royal entry
  • Electric cars like MG ZS EV for eco-conscious couples
  • Multi-car packages for baraat, doli, and guests

Make sure the style matches your wedding theme.

2. Are the cars chauffeur-driven or self-drive?

Weddings are no time for DIY driving. Always confirm that the rental is chauffeur-driven, especially if you’re looking for a stress-free experience. At Sudarshan Cars, all our rentals come with professionally trained, uniformed chauffeurs who are punctual, courteous, and well-versed with city routes.

3. Is the car available for decoration?

Some providers don’t allow floral or ribbon decorations. Always ask:

  • Can the car be decorated?
  • Will the decoration be done by your team or should we arrange it?
  • Are there any restrictions (e.g. adhesives, heavy garlands)?

If your rental provider offers decoration services, ask for samples or past photos for reference.

4. What are the rental packages and durations?

Wedding events don’t always stick to schedules. You must know:

  • What is the base rental duration (e.g. 4 hours, 8 hours)?
  • What happens if we exceed the booked time?
  • Are there full-day or multi-day packages for outstation weddings?

Pro tip: Always book extra hours to avoid last-minute overtime charges.

5. Are there additional charges (tolls, parking, fuel)?

Get a complete breakdown of costs before confirming the booking:

  • Is fuel included in the rental price?
  • Who bears toll and parking charges?
  • Are driver allowances (DA) included or extra?

At Sudarshan Cars, we maintain full transparency on all charges — no hidden fees.

6. Are the vehicles insured and in good condition?

This one is non-negotiable. A luxury car breaking down on your wedding day is a nightmare.

  • Ask for the model year of the car.
  • Is the car insured and regularly maintained?
  • Can I inspect the car before the booking date?

We offer only well-maintained, clean, and legally compliant vehicles to ensure peace of mind.

7. Can the driver coordinate with the wedding planner or event team?

Coordination on the big day is key. Make sure your driver is trained to:

  • Follow instructions from your wedding planner
  • Arrive at multiple pickup locations if needed
  • Maintain communication with the wedding coordination team

At Sudarshan Cars, we work closely with decorators, planners, and event managers to ensure everything flows perfectly.

8. Do you offer outstation travel for destination weddings?

Whether you’re getting married in Jaipur, Goa, Lonavala, or Udaipur, your rental provider should be ready for the journey.

  • What’s the per-kilometer charge for outstation bookings?
  • Do you provide intercity packages?
  • What are the overnight stay charges for the chauffeur?

We specialize in destination wedding transportation across India, with customized packages that include multiple cars and on-site support.

9. How far in advance should we book the car?

Wedding season can be extremely busy, especially for premium cars. Ask:

  • What’s the ideal advance booking time?
  • Do you take last-minute bookings?
  • Is the booking confirmed upon partial or full payment?

We recommend booking at least 30–60 days in advance, especially if you want specific models like a Jaguar XF or Mercedes S-Class.

10. What happens in case of cancellation or delay?

It’s important to know your rights and backup options:

  • What is the cancellation policy?
  • Do you offer refunds or credit for postponed weddings?
  • What if the driver is late or the car has an issue on the wedding day?

We offer flexible cancellation terms and always keep a backup vehicle on standby for emergencies.

 11. Can I get a written agreement or booking confirmation?

Verbal agreements don’t work well for weddings. Insist on:

  • A formal invoice with all terms
  • Details of the car (model, registration number, etc.)
  • Driver name and contact details in advance

At Sudarshan Cars, every wedding booking is backed by a detailed confirmation email and contract.

12. Can you provide references or reviews from past weddings?

If your rental provider has served happy couples before, they’ll be glad to share feedback. Look for:

  • Verified Google reviews
  • Testimonials from wedding portals
  • Photos or videos of past wedding rentals

We’ve worked with hundreds of couples, wedding planners, and event venues across cities like Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Ahmedabad.

Bonus Tips for a Smooth Wedding Car Experience

  • Do a test ride or inspection before the big day.
  • Share a clear itinerary with pickup points and driver contacts.
  • Keep water bottles, tissues, and hampers in the car.
  • Play your special song for that perfect moment as you arrive.
