Wedding cars in Hawke's Bay, dressed and chauffeured.

A drop-off costs $225 NZD in the Mercedes-Benz V-Class or $270 NZD in the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for journeys under 5km, and $300 NZD or $375 NZD for journeys up to 30km. A drop-off and return, which covers the delivery run and one return run, costs $750 NZD in the V-Class and $900 NZD in the Sprinter. A full wedding service with the vehicle held all day costs $1,800 NZD for six hours in the V-Class and $2,250 NZD in the Sprinter. All prices are per vehicle and include GST.

No. We price weddings per vehicle, so the cost is the same whether two people travel or eleven.

Most couples choose the Mercedes-Benz V-Class, a white executive van with individual leather captain's chairs that seats 5 guests in comfort, or the fully electric Mercedes-Benz eVito, which seats 7. For the wider wedding party we use the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, which seats 11 in individual leather reclining seats.

Yes, and we do not charge for it. We dress the vehicle with white ribbon across the bonnet and bows on the seat backs, and we detail it the morning of the wedding.

A drop-off is one journey, for example the getting-ready address to the ceremony. A drop-off and return adds a second journey at the end of the night, and we release the vehicle in between, so you pay for the two journeys rather than the hours between them. A full wedding service holds the vehicle and the chauffeur with your party for the whole day, with no pickup times to agree and no waiting charge at any point. Most couples book the drop-off and return.

We confirm the return time directly with your venue rather than asking you to predict it. Venues know exactly how their evening runs and when it ends, so your car arrives when you are ready to leave rather than an hour early. The confirmed time goes on your run sheet before the day.

Your chauffeur waits 15 minutes from the booked time at no charge. After that we bill waiting in 15 minute increments, at $240 NZD per hour in the V-Class and $276 NZD per hour in the Sprinter. If you would rather not watch the clock, take an on-call return for $150 NZD and call us when you are ready.

Book a time if your venue has a set finish, which most do. It costs less and your car is waiting when you walk out. Take an on-call return, for $150 NZD, if your evening is open-ended. We hold a window of up to two and a half hours and collect you whenever you call inside it.

Yes. A second return run costs $450 NZD in the V-Class and $525 NZD in the Sprinter, which suits families and older guests who prefer to leave before the rest of the party.

Our fleet is electric first. The BYD Atto 3, Tesla Model Y and Mercedes-Benz eVito are fully electric, and we recommend the eVito for couples who want an electric wedding car. The Mercedes-Benz V-Class and Sprinter are diesel, and we use them for larger parties and longer distances.

New Zealand public holidays carry a $250 NZD surcharge. Weddings in peak season, from 21 December to 6 January, carry 15 percent on the package price. Any run before 07:00 or after 20:00 New Zealand time carries $150 NZD, which the drop-off and return package already includes on the late run.

Yes, and it is a separate service with its own pricing. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter carries 11 guests a run between hotels, the ceremony and the reception, from $270 NZD for a single run or $900 NZD for a delivery run and a late return. See wedding guest transport for the full detail.

As soon as your venue and ceremony time are settled. We hold one wedding per vehicle per day, and Saturdays between November and March are the first dates to go.

Nothing changes. Our vehicles have side doors on both sides, a low step in and a covered approach, so the walk from kerb to door is short. Your chauffeur carries umbrellas and will hold one over you and your dress from the vehicle to the door.

Yes. Tell us the ages when you book and we fit the correct restraints. A child restraint seat costs $25 NZD and a booster seat $15 NZD, each per day.

Send us the new run sheet and we will reissue ours. Date and time changes are complimentary up to 48 hours before service, subject to availability. Small shifts on the day are normal and your chauffeur works to whatever is actually happening.

Yes. Give us their name and number when we build the run sheet and we will agree the photograph locations and the time at each one directly with them. Your chauffeur then drives to that plan rather than waiting to be told.

New Zealand operators price wedding transport either by the hour, usually with a two or three hour minimum, or as a fixed package covering a set journey. We price as packages, because a package tells you the figure before the day rather than after it. In Hawke's Bay our wedding packages start at $225 NZD for a drop-off, $750 NZD for a drop-off and return, and $1,800 NZD for the vehicle held six hours. All are per vehicle and include GST.

November to March, with February and March the busiest months for vineyard and coastal venues. Saturdays in that window book out first. Peak season for pricing is 21 December to 6 January, which carries 15 percent on the package price.

Wedding hire follows our charter and group terms. Cancellation is free up to 30 days before the wedding date. Between 30 and 14 days, 50 percent applies. Inside 14 days, 100 percent applies. For peak season, 21 December to 6 January, and for event weekends, 50 percent applies from confirmation and rises to 100 percent inside 30 days. Date and time changes are complimentary up to 48 hours before service, subject to availability.

Yes. We quote longer journeys by route, for example Wellington or Wharekauhau at $2,300 NZD in the Executive Fleet. See our full rate card for every route and surcharge.
