Secure your wedding car hire in Shetland today. Offering a variety of classic and modern cars across nearby areas to make your wedding transport perfect.
Hi — we’re Wedding Car Hire UK, your neighbour from these windswept islands. If you’re planning a wedding here, you’ve come to the right place. When I say Wedding Car Hire in Shetland, I mean the whole experience: the gentle thrum of the engine as you leave Lerwick, the shine of chrome in low northlight, and that small, proud breath you take as you step out for the photos at Sumburgh Head.
We work with a trusted network across the UK so we can offer everything from time-honoured classics to modern electric saloons. Browse, choose, and we’ll organise the rest — from collection to that last wave as you depart the reception.
Our classic line-up includes graceful models such as the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud and Phantom, the Bentley Mulsanne and Flying Spur, the Austin Princess and Daimler Limousine — cars that sit beautifully in photographs at Scalloway Castle or a family church service.
For a sleeker look we arrange Mercedes S-Class, Jaguar XJ, Range Rover and Tesla options, perfect for contemporary city hotels or a dramatic coastal drive down the A970 between Lerwick and Sumburgh.
Need more than one car? No problem. Our Transport Packages can cover the bridal car, multiple cars for bridesmaids and groomsmen, minibuses or coaches for guests, and even same-day bookings for complicated logistics. We coordinate timings so every arrival and exit is perfectly timed — whether you’re heading to a church blessing, a barn wedding or a civil partnership at a country estate.
We’ve arranged thousands of wedding car bookings across the UK, so our approach is practical and personal. Expect transparent pricing, verified suppliers and a real person at the end of the phone to calm nerves and confirm timings. We’ll coordinate with your planner, the venue team at a hotel or castle, and photographers to keep things running like clockwork.
Most couples choose white, ivory, silver or champagne finishes because they read beautifully in photos, but we also respect cultural preferences and personal taste. Ribbons, floral sprays and subtle accessories are available — we’ll match colours to your bouquet or theme so the whole picture looks cohesive.
All vehicles are chauffeur-driven by professional, uniformed drivers who prioritise punctuality, discretion and kindness. Chauffeur etiquette includes helping with the train of a dress, assisting in photos, and liaising with the venue on arrival times. Our drivers are used to wedding-day rhythms and take pride in a calm, confident presence.
| Style | Typical model | Seats | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic | Rolls-Royce Phantom / Silver Cloud | 2–4 | Timeless church weddings, castle entrances |
| Luxury saloon | Bentley Flying Spur / Mercedes S-Class | 3–4 | Hotel receptions, urban photo routes |
| Modern / Electric | Tesla Model S / Range Rover Autobiography | 2–5 | Eco-conscious couples, sleek contemporary shoots |
We recommend booking as early as possible to secure the exact car you love — popular dates can go quickly. That said, our network supports same-day bookings and last-minute changes, especially for local Shetland dates when travel plans are confirmed late.

If you love coastal light, the drive from Lerwick to Sumburgh Head is a favourite for photos. Scalloway Castle and Busta House create dramatic backdrops for portraits, and the quieter lanes around Tingwall and Brae give you private moments between ceremony and reception. We know the best pull-ins for photos and how to plan a route that keeps the day flowing.
We care about the small details because those are the things people remember — the perfect ribbon tied just so, a chauffeur who understands when to be nearby and when to step back, and a car that feels like part of your story. If you’d like, we’ll talk through ideas for your Shetland wedding, recommend cars that suit your venue and style, and outline a transport plan that makes the day feel effortless. We also cover nearby areas including Yell, Unst, Fetlar and mainland Scotland, so wherever your plans take you, we can help.
If you’ve read this far, thanks for trusting us with your ideas. When you’re ready, let’s have a proper chat about dates, locations and the kind of arrival you want — we’ll bring the tea and the details.
