How many hours is the typical day of a wedding

Every Wedding is a new and unique experience! Our staff members at Ride Along Chauffeurs understand this and are more than willing to ensure that our Bride and Groom can choose their own hours for each luxury vehicle and can even extend their hours if they need too.

However, typically a wedding consists of the House, the Ceremony, the Photo locations and of course the Reception. This entire process is usually a 5-hour period. We understand that some weddings may not follow this procedure and hence why we cater for all scenarios.

Do you track inbound flights?

When booking an airport pick up or drop off, one of the first things our team members will ask you for is for your flight number and details. Once we have this recorded Ride Along Chauffeurs makes it our duty to ensure that any delays, cancellations or early flights are tracked via our Online Customer Management Systems.

Don’t worry about stressing to call us to let us know or stressing that we will not pick you up! Ride Along Chauffeurs has it all under control! Your driver will wait for you directly outside your terminal, holding a large sign with your name written on it so that it is easy to locate him!

How will we find our driver after arriving at the airport?

Once you have landed, collected all your luggage and belongings and have exited Australian Customs. Your professional Chauffeured driver will be waiting for you directly as you walk out of your terminal. He/she will be holding a labelled sign with your name and booking number so that your driver is easy to locate for you!

Do the drivers speak English?

All our drivers at Ride Along Chauffeurs can speak fluent English. For all of them, it is their first language. If you request a driver that speaks a different language, please request this on your booking form so that our team members can organise this for you! We will work tirelessly to ensure that our drivers and services suit your needs!
