Most luxury wedding cars cost between $300 and $1,200 for a booking of about three to four hours. A luxury sedan sits at the lower end, a stretch limo in the middle, and a vintage Rolls-Royce or a supercar at the top. Your date, the hours, the car and the distance decide the final price, and booking early is the easiest way to get good value.

Your wedding car is one of the few things in the budget that’s in almost every photo, so it’s worth knowing what it really costs before you book. In short: most luxury wedding cars cost between $300 and $1,200 for a booking of about three to four hours. Here’s what the different cars typically cost, what moves the price up or down, what’s usually included, and how to get the best value for your day.
Typical wedding car prices
These are typical US price ranges for a booking of around four hours. Your own quote depends on your date, your city and exactly what you book.
| Wedding car | Typical price range |
|---|---|
| Luxury sedan, such as a Mercedes-Benz S-Class | $300–$600 |
| Stretch limousine (Lincoln or Cadillac, 8–10 seats) | $400–$800 |
| Bentley Continental GT | $600–$900 |
| Rolls-Royce Ghost | $700–$1,200 |
| Stretch Hummer limousine (12–18 seats) | $750–$1,200 |
| Classic Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud | $900–$1,500 |
| Ferrari or Lamborghini | $800–$2,500+ |
A full day of five to eight hours typically adds 30 to 50 percent, and extras such as special decorations or a sound system can add $50 to $300.
What changes the price
- The date. Peak wedding season runs from about May to September, and Saturdays, holiday weekends and popular dates like Valentine’s Day cost more. Fridays, Sundays and winter dates are often better value.
- The hours. A single trip from the ceremony to the reception is the cheapest option. A block of hours for photos, or a full day, costs more. Many cars have a minimum booking of a few hours, especially on peak-season Saturdays.
- The car. The rarer the car, the higher the price. A classic Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud or a supercar costs more than a modern sedan or a limo.
- The distance. Long drives, a far-away venue or several pickup points add time, and time is what you pay for.
- The city. Big metro areas such as New York, Los Angeles, Miami and San Francisco usually cost more than smaller cities and suburbs.
- The extras. Custom ribbons and flowers, a red carpet or a special sound system can all add to the total.
What’s usually included
- A professional chauffeur, dressed for the day.
- Fuel and the car itself, prepared and cleaned for the wedding.
- Standard decorations, usually ribbons, on most wedding cars.
- Waiting time within your booking, so the car waits while you say your vows.
Not always included: gratuity (15 to 20 percent is the norm; see our tipping guide), overtime if the day runs late, parking or tolls, and special extras. Always ask for exactly what’s included before you book.
Popular wedding cars, and what they’re best for
A luxury sedan is the elegant, sensible choice for the couple or the parents, especially for a short ceremony-to-reception run.
A modern Rolls-Royce gives you the Spirit of Ecstasy, rear-hinged coach doors and a cabin made for a gown. It’s the classic statement car of the 2020s.
A vintage Rolls-Royce costs the most of the classic options, because there are so few of them and every one is cared for like a collector’s piece. Compare the best of them in our pick of the 10 best classic and vintage wedding cars.
A stretch limo or Hummer limo is often the best value per person, because the bridesmaids or groomsmen ride together in one booking. For guests, a wedding shuttle does the same job for the whole crowd.
How to get the best value
- Book early. Six to twelve months ahead gives you the widest choice and the best chance of your first-choice car, especially for vintage cars.
- Be flexible with the date. A Friday, a Sunday or an off-season wedding usually costs less than a June Saturday.
- Book only the hours you need. If you only want a statement car for the exit, a getaway-only booking costs far less than a full day. Our getaway car guide explains how.
- Keep the route tight. Fewer pickups and shorter drives mean fewer hours.
- Be clear upfront. Share the timings, addresses and extras you want, so your quote covers everything and nothing comes as a surprise.
