Book a coach for a wedding

A wedding is an important, solemn and significant event in everyone’s life! Such a significant occasion is always planned well in advance, and one of the key aspects of wedding planning is hiring a minibus for the wedding or hiring cars for the bride and groom and their guests.

As experience shows, you shouldbook a minibusor cars for your wedding, if not six months in advance, then certainly not just a couple of days before the event! In this article, we’d like to share some practical advice on how to choose the right minibus for your celebration and all the related details.

Tip No. 1 – it’s best to book a minibus for your wedding two months in advance, or at least three weeks beforehand

And it’s worth booking the transport together with a driver, as this will save you a lot of hassle. After all, your wedding is your special day, so you shouldn’t have to worry about finding and selecting a driver for your hired transport as well; whilst a separately hired driver may have driving experience, they won’t be familiar with your specific hired vehicle.

The most practical approach would be to sort outbooking a coachfor the wedding straight after submitting your application to the Registry Office. After all, why put it off until later? You’ll have to sort it out one way or another, so in our view, it’s better to get it out of the way straight away and focus on other matters.

Another reason why booking a coach for your wedding should, after all, be done in advance is the fact that most weddings take place on a Saturday; and on this day, particularly during the summer, people often book coaches to head to the seaside, go out of town for a day in the countryside, or organise a tour, etc. So don’t be surprised if, a couple of days before your event, you find that all the available transport – or at least the one that would suit your needs in terms of seating capacity and comfort – has simply already been booked.

Recommendation No. 2 – where possible, sign a contract with the transport company

It is often the case that when booking a coach for a wedding in Kyiv, people leave things to chance and assume that everything will go smoothly without any unforeseen circumstances. However, the opposite can happen; therefore, to ensure the transport company is liable to you in the event of any problems on their part (and thus makes every effort to provide you with the best possible service), we recommend signing a contract.

In the contract, be sure to pay attention to the following points:

• The make and model of the coach specified, and its registration number. These details will help ensure you receive the exact vehicle you have hired.
• Ensure that the transport company is able to provide you with a replacement vehicle. There may be force majeure situations where, through the company’s fault, the specific model of vehicle you have booked cannot be used. In this situation, you should request a replacement with a similar bus. Do not forget to include the following clauses in your contract. Should the service provider fail to fulfil its obligations, it must refund the money you have paid. Incidentally, the transport company Transmarin never lets its customers down, as all our vehicles are always in good working order and undergo regular technical inspections.

Tip No. 3 – the model and capacity matter

It’s unlikely that an old PAZ or Ikarus would fit in very well with a festive procession. Our company’s modern fleet comprises brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Neoplan, Volvo, Isuzu, Volkswagen and Hyundai. These are comfortable coaches or minibuses with air conditioning and comfortable seating. This is yet another reason to hire transport from us.

This is probably the only practical consideration. For a small number of guests, 9–12-seater minivans will suffice. A grand celebration for over 50 people will require a full-size coach.

Recommendation No. 4 – the appearance must be up to standard

When it comes to a wedding motorcade, the appearance of the bus really does matter. A black vehicle will look out of place in a white motorcade. You should also ensure that the vehicle is in good condition: free from scratches, stains and dents.

Even if you’ve never hired a minibus or coach from a transport company before, by following these fairly simple tips, you’ll be able to choose the right transport for your wedding.

The ‘Transmarin’ transport company has a decent fleet, where you, as a customer, are sure to find the perfect wedding bus or car for your guests, featuring:

• air conditioning;
• reclining seats;
• a clean and tidy interior;
• a courteous and experienced driver.
