Transport and cars in the Var
Our directory of transport and cars in the Var is still being put together. In the meantime, the advice below will help you choose well.
The couple's car
Vintage car, convertible, chauffeur-driven vehicle: the wedding car takes you between the town hall, the ceremony and the reception, and makes a lovely backdrop for photos. Check that it copes with the summer heat and that the driver knows the way into the venue.
Shuttles for guests
Shuttles between the hotels and the venue spare guests a night-time drive on winding roads after the party. Plan several runs at the end of the evening, and a service from the station or the airport for guests coming from afar.
Check access to the venue
Many estates lie at the end of narrow lanes: ask the venue whether a coach can get all the way to the car park. Our article on large weddings covers the logistics for a long guest list, and the one on venues with accommodation helps cut down on journeys.
Summer traffic
On the coast in July and August, traffic is heavy, especially at weekends. Build some slack into the timeline, particularly between the town hall and the reception venue.
Frequently asked questions
- Should we organise shuttles for our guests?
- It is strongly recommended if the venue is far from the hotels: it saves guests a night-time drive after the party.
- When should we book the wedding car?
- Three to six months ahead, earlier for a vintage vehicle in the high season.
- Can a coach reach every estate?
- No, some lanes are too narrow. Check access with the venue before booking.
