HOW TO BOOK
      





Cool cars for your wedding day.

Beetle Drive wedding carsBeetle Drive UK Ltd were the first VW dedicated wedding car company in the UK. We started off with a unique idea to offer you something totally different for your wedding day. Since we began, VW wedding cars have become the new trendy alternative to the classic vehicles of yesteryear traditionally used to transport you in style to your ceremony. Now a new era of wedding car transport has began and we are proud to have been at the forefront of this change which has been a long time coming.

Click here to see what our clients sayYou might be a VW enthusiast, a fan of " Herbie" the ‘Love Bug’ or you might just be unconventional and want to arrive for your wedding  accompanied by the roar of an air cooled Volkswagen engine, shiny chrome bumpers and the familiar curves of our VW Beetles, or simply to enjoy the iconic status of the VW camper van.

The cars will be decorated with your choice of ribbons, and guaranteed to turn the heads of guests and passers by.

Chauffeur driven VW Beetles and camper vansYou will be chauffeur driven by our team who will attend to your every need to ensure your arrival at the wedding venue is relaxed and on time. 


We want to make sure that you have your dream car for your wedding day that will be remembered by you and your guests for years to come. This is Charlie in her dream 'Love Bug'.

cool grooms car Need ideas? We could pick up the groom in the convertible or Herbie or a cool camper, the bride and bridesmaids in a limousine or VW van and bride and father in a cabrio and after the service the cars will be available for photos.
Our ‘rag top’ car roofs will be open and cabriolet hoods down (weather permitting of course) for the bride and groom to have a champagne toast on us before travelling together to the reception.

Ho do I book? click hereThe bridal party and best man could then travel to the reception in our limousine or bus.
We will tailor your requirements to suit, we always do our best to cater for our clients.


Our VW Beetle cabriolets will be equipped with rugs for cooler days and our drivers will always try to ensure that you arrive without that ‘wind swept’ look! Don't forget you can also have the hood up, we can take it down near the venue for the arrival at Church / reception photos. Your driver will take the cabriolet roof down for you for ease of entry in a wedding dress, passenger seats will be moved forward for extra room and we will assist you into and out of the car to ensure that you are not going to arrive creased.

Champagne serviceBeetle Drive will always do everything we can to cater for our disabled, blind or deaf clients, we will help where ever possible anybody into and out of our cars. Cabriolets are quite suitable for people with a disability as we can take the hood down which makes entry much easier. Front seats will be adjusted to their maximum to allow extra leg room. Any wheelchairs will need to be taken in another vehicle as the luggage space is limited in Beetles. It may be possible to carry a chair in our Campers just let us know your requirements.

The majority of our cars have CD players so feel free to request music and we will do our best to source it for you or you are welcome to provide a CD yourself. Pepi 1965 Saloon still has an original radio from the 60's so music requests are not available, however we can provide radio Frankfurt at no extra cost!

Frequently asked questions - click hereAlso we include decoration of the cars. You can choose the colour of your ribbons, perhaps the colour of your bridesmaids dresses or your favourite football team, we like to dress the Beetles with a VW design on the bonnet as a quirky addition. If you have a request let us know and we will do our best to provide it for you.
