Prince William and Kate Middleton have given the official seal of approval to the latest wedding trend - self drive wedding car hire. They drove themselves on the big day in an Aston Martin DB6 like the one for hire from Great Escape Classic Car Hire.


Self drive wedding car hire has been growing significantly in popularity over the last couple of years and now it has been given the Royal Seal of Approval. William and Kate drove an ultra-rare Aston Martin DB6 Volante convertible on their big day - to huge approval from the crowds.
The appeal of self drive wedding car hire lies in the flexibility it offers and the relatively low price. Chauffeur hire means rigids timings and a higher price. Self drive hire also gives the groom or best man a chance to have some fun at the wheel, adding an extra dimension to the big day.
Great Escape Classic Car Hire is the largest provider of self drive wedding cars in the UK. The company's fleet includes an Aston Martin DB6 like the one driven by William and Kate, as well as Morris Minor convertibles, Jaguar E Types and Morse Jaguar Mk2s.
"Self drive wedding car hire is increasingly popular with couples," explains Graham Eason of Great Escape. "It is much more flexible than using a chauffeur and you get to share the experience of driving the car.
"Our cars are easy to drive and we offer dedicated self drive wedding packages that are designed to make the logistics of hiring a car as simple as possible."
