Take your pick of planes, trolleys and automobiles for your big-day getaway vehicle.
VINTAGE CHARM
Ride off in a classically cool selection from British Motor Coach. Owner Roy DuBrow’s luxurious options include classic Bentleys and Rolls-Royces, as well as a Jaguar-built Daimler limousine. (Other types of vehicles are also available for rental.) For the diehard Anglophile, some cars feature semaphore turn signals (with side indicators that pop out) and the driver’s side on the right. A professional chauffeur will take you on your way while you unwind in the back of the deluxe, leather-trimmed ride. All-inclusive two-hour consecutive rental is $384 and includes chauffeur and fuel charge; split packages with two trips are available for an all-inclusive rate of $576; additional vans and SUVs are available, price dependent on length of rental and vehicle.
