Popular Routes for Wedding Car Hire Nottingham
Route 1 – The Classic Route
If you are looking for a classis, iconic journey around Nottingham to appreciate the rich history, then this is the perfect route to choose. Starting at your hotel or home, you will drive through the city centre streets, then go past the Council house and other historical architecture surrounding the area. No historical soute would be complete without a trip to Nottingham Castle, be it for a photograph or a quick view of the city. The last destination on this trip would be your wedding venue (in this situation, we like to imagine Colwich Hall Hotel).
Route 2 -The Industrial Route
Starting in the city centre is a must for this trip. Combining elegant residential streets with industrial heritage helps concoct the perfect mix of urban and stately scenery. We begin driving through the cobbled streets of Lace Market, next passing by The Park Estate’s elaborate avenues. We finish at your chosen wedding destination, we think Swancar Farm Country House is the perfect way to end this journey.
Route 3 – The Elizabethan Route
If lavish gardens and scenic parks are what you wish to look at as you glide through Nottingham in a luxury wedding hire car, then this is the route for you. Starting at Nottingham city centre (or a nearby hotel), head west to Wollaton Hall. This route is nestled between gorgeous trees of Wollaton Park; it’s almost impossible not to stop and take it all in for a moment. Then you arrive at your chosen wedding destination. After taking in the beauty of this venture, we recommend Bestwood Lodge as the wedding venue.
Route 4 – The Natural Route
If you fancy a cinematic view of picturesque rivers and bridges, then this elegant route is the right choice. Starting at a venue of your choice, you will take a trip past the historic Trent Bridge and travel along the River Trent. Finishing this circular route at your venue is the perfect way to take a lovely trip around the cities famous River. We suggest a venue like Woodborough Hall to compliment this trip.

The University of Nottingham is well known for its elegant, green setting so starting your route just outsite the city is the perfect way to take it its beauty. The campus has appealing architecture and leafy roads, making it the perfect route for a late-afternoon drive.

How to Book Your Wedding Car Hire Nottingham Service with Phantom Hire
Step 1 – Pick out your car
It is crucial to consider which car will suit your ceremony best; though we have suggested some in this guide, you have the final say. Identifying the factors are important to you is necessary to ensure you book the right vehicle. Examples include:
- Price: We know wedding budgets can be tight, so chosing a vehicle that comfortably fits is incredibly crucial.
- Wedding theme: Certain cars fit a specific aesthetic theme better than others. As an example, a Rolls Royce Phantom is perfect wedding car for a traditional wedding, whereas a more contemporary theme would fit a Crysler 300 Limo better.
- Wedding location: Some cars are more suited to certain terrains than others, so this is very important to consider when planning cars and routes. For example, the advanced traction system in a Cullinan makes it tackle country venues majestically. If your route and venue are more central, then we would suggest the Ghost for a smooth ride.
- Number of seats: Think about how many people you want in your wedding car – is it just the bride and groom or do you wish to transport a larger group? With a wide range of sedans and limos, there is plenty of choice at Phantom Hire.
- Passengers: Each of Phantom Hire’s luxury wedding cars are designed to create a particular atmosphere, this is important to consider once you have decided who’s travelling in your wedding car. A vibrant pink hummer would mimic the playful nature of the bridesmaids while a relaxing Spectre might be more suited to a calming and noise-free atmosphere.
