Wedding Car Hire in Zuid-Holland

Getting married in Zuid-Holland: cities, coast and the Groene Hart

Zuid-Holland has a wide variety of wedding locations close together. Den Haag has a coastal setting with Scheveningen and the Kurhaus, while Rotterdam offers a modern skyline with the Erasmusbrug and the town hall on the Coolsingel. Leiden, Delft and Gouda have historic city centres with canals, and Gouda's Gothic town hall on the Markt is a well-known backdrop. Dordrecht, the oldest city in Holland, has an old harbour and lies close to the Biesbosch. In Delft, the town hall and the Nieuwe Kerk face each other across the Markt, a square that is often used for wedding photos.

Beyond the cities lies the Groene Hart, with meadows, windmills and dykes. The windmills of Kinderdijk are world famous. In spring the bulb fields bloom in the Bollenstreek, with the Keukenhof near Lisse. The Westland is known for its greenhouses, and along the coast, from Noordwijk and Katwijk to Kijkduin, you will find beach pavilions and dunes.

American, English or open-top: the wedding car for your day

In Zuid-Holland, city, coast and countryside are often within half an hour's drive of each other. Many couples therefore combine a ceremony in town with photos by the sea or in the Groene Hart. Choose a car that suits all of those places, or the moment that matters most to you.

Classic American

A 1950s Ford Fairlane, with its two-tone paintwork and plenty of chrome, makes a striking arrival. A classic Mustang or a GMC 100 pick-up suits a rugged or informal wedding. At American wedding cars you will find all the models in one place.

Open-top along the coast and through the bulb fields

An open-top car looks beautiful along the coast or through the bulb fields. A Porsche Boxster, a Porsche 356 Speedster or an Alfa Romeo Spider is sporty and elegant. An Austin FX4 or Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud suits a city feel with an English touch. In the Groene Hart the roads are narrow and often run along dykes. A classic car can take its time there, and there are plenty of spots with windmills and meadows for photos.

Practical tips: traffic, city centres and rental companies

Zuid-Holland is a busy province with a lot of traffic. Allow plenty of time for the route between the ceremony, photo shoot and reception, especially on Friday afternoons. In the city centres of Leiden, Delft and Gouda, many streets are narrow and parking is difficult. Agree a drop-off point close to the town hall or church with the rental company. In Rotterdam and Den Haag the roads are wider, but there are trams and plenty of cyclists, so a fixed stopping place is wise there too.

On summer days the coast can get very busy. It is better to plan a photo stop by the sea early or late in the day. Rental companies that drive in Zuid-Holland come from the province itself, but also from Noord-Holland, Utrecht and Noord-Brabant. Ask where the car departs from and how long the journey to you will take.
