The 9 Classiest Getaway Cars to Close Out Your Ceremony

The wedding ceremony has ended, and you and the great love of your life are finally wearing your rings. As you exit the venue and head off into the sunset — or the reception or honeymoon destination — what car is waiting to sweep you newlyweds away?

Transportation is a substantial factor to consider in wedding planning, especially regarding getaway cars. They are a significant piece of your special day that closes the ceremony, marking the first ride you and your partner will take as a married couple.

Many people have their own approach to choosing a wedding getaway car, with some going for more creative options such as a boat or carriage. Others may decide to use automobiles that have sentimental value.

A classy getaway car provides an air of sophistication. Here are some top picks to have you stepping out in style.

 

1. The Classic Station Wagon

The station wagon used to be quite the staple for wedding getaway cars, especially with its long roof and impeccable charm. They were also sought-after vehicles for family errands back in the day, which probably adds to their appeal for newly married couples.

Luckily, a revival of the classic car is coming back as Volvo, Porsche and other automakers have launched various modernized station wagons at their shows. Join the movement and opt for a wedding wagon on your special day.

 

2. The Reliable SUV

Many people consider the SUV an upgrade from the station wagon as a family vehicle, as it’s more than capable for those on-road and off-road trips. It sits high off the ground in comparison to other cars.

That elevated look can make it a good wedding getaway car option. A BMW or Audi can up the style factor while keeping things relatively practical.

3. The Vintage Icon

Choose a vintage automobile for your getaway car, like the Chevy Corvette, to turn back time for you and your guests. Nothing is more aesthetically pleasing than these vehicles, and they make for great wedding pictures.

A black or red Corvette can be quite the head-turner on its own. If you’re really lucky, you might be able to get one of the rare 1960 Corvettes in Cascade Green to make the whole experience even more phenomenal for you and your partner.

 

4. The Futuristic Vehicle

A wedding is an event to go all-out in. Tesla’s Model X is a staple when discussing futuristic cars because of its gull-wing doors and spacious interior. Choosing this as your wedding vehicle makes quite a statement for your guests.

Plus, its enhanced autopilot feature can be helpful since you can remotely call the car to pick you up. Imagine everyone waiting in anticipation as the vehicle drives itself to you and your partner.

 

5. The Luxury Sports Car

A luxury sports car is another lavish way to exit if you can splurge. While you’re not trying to speed away from your loved ones, leaving your ceremony this way is a unique experience. It’s especially riveting if you or your partner have always dreamed of having such a ride.

A striking blue McLaren 570S Spider is a lovely option for doors with a wow factor and a sleek design. You can also pick from other luxury sports car brands, like Porsche and Jaguar.

 

6. The Humble Sedan

If you’re seeking something simpler, go with a nice sedan. While it’s not necessarily sleek, it’s an excellent choice that still sticks with a high level of class. Plus, if you’re purchasing it, it can serve as a pragmatic automobile when the wedding is said and done.

In terms of models, Toyota has various options to explore. For instance, the Yaris is quite efficient. The Camry and Corolla have an edge in appearance, though, especially in white.

7. The Comfortable Limousine

The limousine is an elegant getaway car that can transport a dozen people in one go. This is a fantastic solution if you want your parents, in-laws, the best man, the maid of honor and a few other people to tag along in exiting the ceremony.

Remember that this vehicle is in high demand for wedding transportation. Consider making a reservation four months before your ceremony to secure a rental and driver.

 

8. The Endearing Fiat

A Fiat is the way to go if you want a smaller car that still looks quite classy. This Italian compact convertible is charming in its own way. Aside from the fabulous photo opportunities you’ll have to post in this tiny automobile, you and your partner can sit close together when heading to your reception or honeymoon.

 

9. The Exclusive Golf Cart

A white golf cart can be a lovely option if your wedding will occur in a nice local garden or golf course. It goes well with the terrain and is easier to decorate than a full-fledged automobile. Feel upscale and adventurous all at once as you and your partner navigate the greens together.

 

 

Drive Away in Style

There are many wedding getaway car choices, but consider what you and your partner want and need in a vehicle. After all, each couple has their preferences on the model they’re looking for. Whatever you end up with, you’ll surely end the ceremony in style.
