All cars are driven by uniformed chauffeur. Ribbons will normally be supplied in soft white, ivory, or cream. Other colours may be obtained by special request, or provided by the hirer, so please speak to us if you have any particular requirements. A sample of the above colours can be provided on request. A display of silk flowers is provided in the rear window where possible. The vintage/replica vintage cars have no suitable shelf, and therefore may have a posy where the ribbons meet, or just a bow. Having had years of practice to determine the best way of decorating these cars, you can be confident that each car will be beautifully presented. However, please feel free to ask for more information if you wish. The open top cars (vintage & replica vintage models) may be driven with the hood up or down, and with or without side-screens. You may prefer some protection on the way to the church to ensure that the bride arrives with dress and hair-do intact, and then have the hood lowered for photographs and the journey to the reception. We will be pleased to accommodate your preferences, give advice, or use our discretion as required. While we have no objection to confetti, other forms of “decoration” (i.e. tin cans, shaving foam etc.) are not permitted We expect these very special vehicles to be treated with the respect that they deserve. Important Note - You should be aware that some of our cars are not fitted with seatbelts. Due to their age this is, of course, perfectly legal, but recent changes in legislation result in significant restrictions on the carrying of young children in such cars. Therefore you must tell us if you wish us to carry any children who will be aged under 3 at the time of the wedding. Clearly, we can only carry young children if it is both safe and legal to do so. If an additional journey is required for bridesmaids etc., this will normally be accommodated without extra charge, subject to distance and the suitability of the car. Many hirers prefer to use a different car for this purpose to maximise the impact upon the arrival of the bride.

A deposit (£50 for first car plus £25 for each additional car) is payable at the time of booking. The balance of hire monies is payable one month before the hire date. In the event of cancellation, the deposit is not refundable, although consideration will be given to a partial refund if the car can subsequently be hired elsewhere. If cancellation takes place less than one month before the date of the booking (or if you fail to notify us of cancellation), then the whole amount will be deemed payable. Arrangements can be made to accept payment by instalments during the period leading up to the wedding if this is of help to you. Substitution. In the unlikely event that your chosen car, for reasons outside our control, is unfit for use on the day, the liability of Rye Classics will not extend beyond a full refund of all monies paid to us. We will, however, make every effort to arrange a suitable substitute with the hirer’s agreement. What does this mean? This symbol indicates that the owner of Rye Classics is a Christian. This doesn’t mean that we are cheap (although you could pay a great deal more), and it doesn’t mean that I never get grumpy. It does mean, however, that I won’t get grumpy with you, and you can expect all of our dealings to be conducted with care, good humour, and with absolute integrity. The way I see it is that, although I own the company, I still have a boss … and he can see everything … scary ! Please contact us or print a booking form (Adobe .PDF format)
