So, you have the dress, the wedding venue and reception menu picked out. You’ve checked off all the items on your wedding wish list. All except one. The getaway car.
After a beautiful ceremony and reception, you deserve to end your dream wedding with a showstopping getaway. Why not choose a car that matches your personality?
Whether you’re an elegant and traditional or a sentimental gal, there are lots of options that will make your exit unforgettable.
Which Car Matches Your Personality?
Here are 4 questions to help you see what kind of getaway car suits your personality.
- How would your closest friend describe your personality?
- Which book or movie character resonates most with you and how would you describe them?
- What 3 words would you use to describe yourself?
- Do you consider yourself an old soul or more contemporary and modern?
Luxury Sports Car: For the Glamorous Trendsetter
Personality traits: confident, fashionable, innovative
You’re bold, outgoing and enjoy the spotlight. You push the boundaries of fashion and have a daring and dramatic personality. The sleek design of the futuristic Delorean Alpha 5 complements your distinctive personality.
Another great option is the McLaren 570S Spider in a bright color. Your guests will be impressed with the butterfly wing doors and your pictures will look amazing.
Luxury SUV: For the Adventurous
Personality traits: strong-willed, charming, flexible
You’re known for your resilience and confidence. You’re an ambitious individual who embraces adventure, spontaneity and edge.
Cars like the Mercedes G-Wagon G63 and the Rolls Royce Cullinan are a balanced combination of beauty and ruggedness that’s perfect for strong personality types.
This car is also perfect if your wedding venue is in the mountains or off-road. It’s designed to handle rough terrain but will still look glamorous as a getaway car.
Vintage Truck: For the Easygoing
Personality traits: compassionate, devoted, serene
This timeless getaway car reflects your carefree and easygoing nature. You love the simple pleasures of life and are a source of comfort and encouragement for many.
If you’re planning a rustic-themed wedding, a vintage truck will match perfectly with the natural surroundings and relaxed atmosphere of your wedding.
You can hang flowers at the back of the pickup truck or a leaf garland with a ‘just married’ sign.
Muscle Car: For the Vintage Lover
Personality traits: creative, nostalgic, charming
You love vintage clothes and antique items and are secure in your style. Muscle cars match your personality with their classic designs and incredible top speeds.
You see the world in a unique way and are often described as creative and fun to be around. The iconic design and history of the 1968 Dodge Charger R/T with its chrome touches and hidden headlight grille reflects your eye for interesting detail.
This getaway car would be memorable for both you and your guests.
Cinderella Carriage: For the Hopeless Romantic
Personality traits: soft, caring, lively, elegant
You’re a sentimental person who prioritizes special moments with your loved ones. You often shed a tear during romantic films and you love to cuddle up with a book.
If you’ve dreamt of having a fairytale wedding and living happily ever after with your Prince Charming, you will love riding off into the sunset in a horse-drawn carriage. You can even get a carriage embellished with glitter, diamonds or lights that will look stunning in pictures.
Rolls Royce Sedan: For the Elegant
Personality traits: subtle, romantic, sophisticated
You appreciate traditional beauty and elegance. Rolls Royce is associated with opulence and prestige, which suits your graceful demeanor. A white Rolls Royce Phantom will make for a jaw-dropping exit on your big day.
Unconventional Options
You may want to go for a vehicle that isn’t a car and that still works. Consider your hobbies or special interests that you share with your partner. Some couples have chosen non-conventional getaway options like air balloons and snowboarding. If you want to do something different, you may want to consider matching your getaway vehicle with your venue.
Boats: If your wedding reception is on a deck or near a lake, you could make a boat exit with a water taxi, speedboat or yacht after the ceremony. It will make for an exquisite photo op and will give you time to reflect as a couple.
Horses: If you’re a lover of Western movies (or you just love horses) leaving your wedding on a horse will be a treat that everyone will love.
Helicopter: After a beautiful celebration of your union with your partner, a helicopter getaway will be the perfect ending to your day.
What Should You Consider When Hiring a Getaway Car?
If you’re getting married during peak season, it's best to hire a car for your wedding at least nine months before the ceremony.
For the best experience, ask if the car hire company can accommodate any extra wishes. You might want a playlist of your favorite love songs as a couple, a dress code for the chauffeur or a bottle of champagne to share.
Make the Perfect Exit
After a whole day mingling with guests and celebrating your union, you will appreciate having a comfortable and luxurious ride with your partner. It will feel especially amazing to have chosen a car that matches your personality.
Whether you’re a sports car kind of girl or prefer vintage classics, you deserve to end your night with a bang.
