Wedding car needed

[195586inch]

Howdy, looking to rent an s1 for a couple of hours (with or without a driver) to get us to our wedding. We get married at the cut golfclub on April 1st, and no it's not a joke before I'm asked. Would love to have a little Landy as our wedding car. Happy to pay all costs, and will send in the pictures to classic LR and a few others.
Hiring a pimped out limo isn't me thing 😳

Thank you

Before anyone agrees, they had better check on the laws re using a private vehicle for hire or reward. There was some discussion about it on the Whirlpool forum and I think the authorities don't like it nor do insurance companies.

Not trying to put a damper on it.

Er......it would happen heaps, I borrowed a ute the other day and left a bottle of JD on the seat when I returned it.

Just call it a token off your appreciation.

Hopefully somebody offers a helping hand........the only thing is you might be stuck using them as your driver.

You can use a relative's or close friend's car at your wedding, but you can not hire any random car. It must be an approved chauffeur car, driven by an approved chauffeur driver. You can be fined for having a non approved car as your wedding car.

Here's an old news story from SA. Dunno what WA's rules are.

People who lend cars for weddings may face jail - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2010-11-17/people-who-lend-cars-for-weddings-may-face-jail/2340218)

Shannons require one to have Wedding Hire Use insurance.


Wedding Hire Use means your vehicle is used for Private Use
and the limited business use of carrying passengers for hire or
reward in connection with weddings or school formals

That is the reward part of hire or reward.

Here's a description from NZ law:


'Reward' means any 'valuable consideration', usually in situations where one person performs a useful service for some other person, and the person performing the service is given recompense (reward) for that service. It includes cases where there is no obligation to pay. Reward is not just an alternative word for hire.

I don't understand why it matters. If i borrow a neighbours ute to take stuff to the tip, is that illegal? Why is it any different for a wedding if the loaners not charging for it?

It cant be an argument for safety (in NSW at least) as cars are checked every year. As far as insurance goes make sure you have one that covers anyone, even if the excess is higher. Or drive it yourself.

Like the article says, if no ones trying to con anybody or profit out of it what's the problem?

It matters if there is an accident. Insurance PDS often exclude cover when a vehicle is used for hire or reward.

Ron, thanks indeed for the downer. its reflection of the current society that There's always someone out there keen to point out the negatives.


My love of all things LR is an escape from the nanny state.


If anyone can help out, I'd be happy to return a favour.


If your in a position not to help out, that's fine, please feel free to comment on things you can contribute to.

This is a contribution. Whether or not you see it that way is your prerogative.

Exactly.

The wedding may have been caused by an accident.

Probably different. You aren't renting your car out as the OP wanted.

person 1 borrows car from person 2.
after the wedding, person 1 remember he owes person 2 a slab of beer as he lost a bet that abx would beat xyz.

I know a fellow who hires his classic cars for weddings. He and his mates drive them.
I'm not sure what he does for insurance but I do know the ATO are only interested in such a venture if you derive an income from such a venture of $20,000 or more.

For prospective hirers, some insurance companies are only interested if you are operating as a business.
Check with your insurance company.

From my insurance company


Wedding Hire Use
means your vehicle is used for Private Use
and the limited business use of carrying passengers for hire or
reward in connection with weddings or school formals.
If you use your vehicle for Private Use, you should choose
Private Use vehicle usage for your cover.
If you use your vehicle for weddings or school formals, but for
no other income earning purposes, you should ask us to add
Wedding Hire Use to your cover.
However, if you use your vehicle for any Business Use that is
more extensive than Wedding Hire Use, you should ask us to
cover you for Business Use. You will be covered for Private
Use and Wedding Hire Use under your Business Use vehicle
usage cover.

Probably different. You aren't renting your car out as the OP wanted.

But surely you'd be using your car to carry/courier the goods so dosesn't that constitute hiring your car?
