His and hers wedding cars give the bride and groom an arrival each, then bring you together for the photos and the getaway. The best pairs share a story: two Rolls-Royce Ghosts in white and black, a Silver Cloud with its Bentley twin, a pink '57 Thunderbird with a black Bel Air, or a classic for her and a supercar for him.

For most of the morning, the two of you are getting ready in different places. One car brings the groom to the ceremony, another brings the bride, and later you leave together. So why not make those two cars a pair? Picture a white Rolls-Royce pulling up for her and a black one for him, or a pink 1957 Thunderbird parked beside a black '57 Bel Air in the photos. Two cars that belong together tell your story before anyone says a word.
We paired up sixteen cars you can book through RentX into eight his and hers combinations, from perfectly matched to playfully mismatched. For each one, you will see both cars, why they work together and the kind of wedding they suit best.

Why two wedding cars?
The practical reason is simple: on most wedding days the bride and groom start in different places. The groom usually leaves first with his best man, and the bride arrives last with her father or her bridesmaids. Two cars let each of you arrive in style without anyone waiting around.
The fun reason is the photos. Two cars side by side outside the venue make one of the best pictures of the day, and the pairing becomes part of your story: matching cars for a couple who think alike, or a classic and a supercar for two people who could not be more different and love it.
How to pair wedding cars
- Match the marque. Two cars from the same maker, like two Rolls-Royces or two Porsches, look deliberate and polished.
- Match the era. Two cars from the same decade feel like a scene from a film: two fifties classics, or two pre-war limousines.
- Mirror the colors. White for her and black for him is timeless. It also helps your photographer, because both cars read clearly side by side.
- Contrast on purpose. A classic for her and a modern sports car for him can be the most memorable pairing, as long as it feels chosen rather than random.
- Think about the dress. The bride's car needs room for the gown: sedans, limousines and four-seat cars are easiest. The groom's car can be a two-seater.
8 perfect his and hers pairs
1. Ebony and ivory: two Rolls-Royce Ghosts
The most elegant way to match is to book the same car in opposite colors. The Ghost is Rolls-Royce's more understated sedan, and its rear-hinged coach doors let a bride step out in one graceful movement, dress and all. Put her in white with a red leather cabin and him in black, and the two cars outside the venue look like a scene from a black-tie film.
Great for: black-tie and ballroom weddings, city hotels, couples who want a perfectly matched pair.
2. The Crewe twins: Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud and Bentley S1
In the late 1950s, the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud and the Bentley S-series were built side by side at the Crewe factory in England and shared almost everything except the radiator grille and the badges. Booking one of each is a pairing with a real story behind it: two cars born as twins, one for each of you. The white Silver Cloud is a classic bride's car, and the silver-over-black Bentley is every inch the gentleman's car.
Great for: classic and vintage weddings, churches and country estates, couples who love a story.
3. Fifties sweethearts: pink Thunderbird and black Bel Air
This pair is pure Americana. The 1957 Thunderbird was the last year of Ford's original two-seat T-Bird, and a pink one with the top down is about the most romantic car a bride can ride in. Next to it, a black '57 Chevrolet Bel Air with its chrome tailfins is as cool as a groom's car gets. Arrive separately, then leave together in the Thunderbird, as the couple in the photo below did.
Great for: retro and rockabilly weddings, beach and coastal venues, couples who want fun with their glamour.
4. Old Hollywood: 1939 Packard and 1937 Cadillac
Before the war, Packard and Cadillac were America's great luxury rivals. Packard's famous advertising line was "Ask the man who owns one," and the Fleetwood Series 75 was Cadillac's long, formal flagship sedan. A white Packard for the bride and a dark Cadillac for the groom is a pairing straight out of a 1930s film, with running boards, chrome headlamps and plenty of room inside for a gown.
Great for: Gatsby and art deco themes, historic venues, couples who love old films.
5. Then and now: Porsche 356 Speedster and Porsche 911
The 356 was Porsche's first production car, and the 911 replaced it in the mid-1960s. Book one of each and you have the whole Porsche story in two cars: the bride in a silver 356 Speedster with red seats, the groom in a modern 911. It is a pairing for couples who love design, and it looks wonderful at a garden venue with string lights.
Great for: garden and vineyard weddings, design-loving couples, a sporty getaway.
6. Italian romance: Ferrari Portofino and Lamborghini Huracán
Italy's two great sports car makers have been rivals for decades, which makes them a playful pair for a wedding. The bride takes the Ferrari Portofino, named after the Italian Riviera village, a white convertible with a red cabin and a folding hardtop. The groom takes a Lamborghini Huracán EVO in vivid green, a V10 coupe that looks like it is moving even when it is parked. Expect your guests to spend the cocktail hour photographing both.
Great for: glamorous modern weddings, car-loving couples, the most talked-about arrival of the year.
7. The power couple: Mercedes-Maybach S580 and Mercedes-AMG G63
Maybach is the most luxurious line Mercedes-Benz makes, and the S580 is a limousine-smooth sedan with a rear cabin built for being driven. Its two-tone paint makes a bride's arrival feel like a red-carpet moment. For the groom, the G63: the boxy, unmistakable G-Class that Mercedes has built since 1979, here in white with AMG power. Together they say modern, confident and very well dressed.
Great for: modern city weddings, luxury hotels, couples who like their style sharp.
8. British grand tourers: Bentley Flying Spur and Aston Martin DB11
Who says the bride's car has to be white? A black Bentley Flying Spur, a name Bentley first used in the late 1950s, is a sleek four-door with a beautiful cabin and room for the dress. For the groom, an Aston Martin DB11 Volante, the open-top version of the grand tourer whose "DB" initials honor David Brown, who owned the company for a quarter of a century. It is a pairing with real British polish.
Great for: refined black-tie weddings, couples who love British cars, a stylish getaway.
Planning two cars on the day
- Book both cars together. Ask for both in the same request so the timings are planned as one.
- Send the groom first. His car usually collects him about an hour before the ceremony; hers arrives last, a few minutes before the start.
- Plan the side-by-side photo. Ask both drivers to wait after the ceremony so you can be photographed with both cars before one leaves.
- Choose the getaway car. Decide which car takes you both away. The bride's car is often the better choice if the groom's is a two-seater.
- Check parking. Make sure the venue has room for two cars near the entrance, so neither is hidden around the corner in the photos.
Questions people ask
Do the bride and groom need separate wedding cars?
Not always, but most couples start the day in different places, so two cars make the timing easy. Each of you arrives in style, and you can leave together in one car.
Should his and hers wedding cars match?
They should look deliberate. That can mean the same car in two colors, two cars from the same era, or a planned contrast like a classic for her and a sports car for him.
Which car should the bride ride in?
Choose a car with room for the dress and an easy step in and out: a Rolls-Royce, a Bentley, a Maybach or a vintage sedan. Two-seat sports cars work better for the groom or the getaway.
Can the groom drive his own car?
Some sports cars can be booked to drive yourself, but most wedding cars come with a chauffeur. With champagne in the plan, a driver is the safer and more relaxing choice.
How far ahead should we book two wedding cars?
As early as you can, especially for spring and fall Saturdays. Matching pairs are the hardest to find at short notice, because both cars need to be free on the same day.
