Carriage of Minors

You may have noticed that our terms and conditions clearly mention we are unable to carry children under the age of three in most of our wedding cars, and we always ask during the booking process.  It’s not said lightly, or to be difficult, or because we don’t like the wee’uns…it’s purely in order to meet legal requirements.  So please kindly take note of the following regulations for your safety and ours,

• No minor under the age of sixteen can be carried in the front seat

• No child under the age of three can be carried in wedding cars that are not euipped with seatbelts.  In the case of our VW Campervan, which is fitted with lapbelts, no child under the age of six can travel.  The exception is our modern Mercedes fleet, which is fitted with seatbelts and carseats

• No minors under the age of sixteen can be carried on their own.  Minors must always be accompanied by a responsible adult known to the minors

How many Passengers?

Some vintage and classic wedding cars may not have seatbelts, but this does not signal that you can pack as many people as possible into them, no matter how small the passengers.

Carmen, our VW Beetle, can seat 2 passengers and Woody, our VW Campervan, can seat 5-6 passengers.

We are legally guided by the vehicle registration certificate of each wedding car, and cannot overload the vehicle without putting our insurance cover at risk or in consideration of the dire consequences should an accident occur with an overloaded car.  Please do not ask us to squeeze in one more person, or ask that a child sit on your lap, and do not take offence when asked and we politely say no.
