Wedding and occasion car hire in London
Some days call for a car that's part of the occasion. R3ntal Central offers self-drive luxury hire for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and celebrations across London. Weddings are accommodated depending on the vehicle, so tell us your plans and we'll help you choose.
Self-drive, your way
All our hires are self-drive. You or someone you trust drives, on your schedule, without a fixed route or a meter running. You'll need a clean licence and to be at least 25. Some cars can be hired by younger drivers, depending on the vehicle.
Choosing a car for the day
- Performance cars for an arrival people remember. See performance car hire.
- Saloons for an elegant, comfortable ride. See saloon hire.
- SUVs when there are guests, outfits and luggage to fit in. See SUV hire.
Every car on our cars page shows live availability, so you can check your date straight away.
Planning the day
- Check your date on our cars page and see which cars are free.
- Tell us it's an occasion so we can confirm the car is suitable.
- Book online and pay the £100 booking deposit, which comes off your hire price.
- Arrange collection or delivery. Collect from our Hainault depot, or ask about delivery to your home or venue at extra cost.
Looked after on the day
Your hire comes with a customer experience manager and our 8am to 8pm support line, so there's one person to call if anything needs attention. The car is inspected with you and photographed at collection and return.
What's included
Insurance is included in the hire for drivers over 25. You'll see the full price before you book.
Occasions we're often asked about

- Birthdays and anniversaries. A weekend with a car you've always wanted to drive.
- Celebrations and evenings out. A comfortable car for a dinner, a show or a party.
- Photo shoots and events. Tell us what's planned so we can confirm the car is suitable.
Making the most of the day

- Think about the drive. If the route goes into central London, read our guides to the Congestion Charge and the ULEZ.
- Plan parking at the venue. Check what's available before the day. See parking in London.
- Agree who will drive. Every driver needs a clean licence and to be at least 25. Some cars can be hired by younger drivers, depending on the vehicle.
