A Volvo 245 on your wedding day: surprising and personal
Many people remember the Volvo 245 from years ago, but as a wedding car it is not currently on the site. The 245 is the estate version of Volvo's 200 series, built from the mid-1970s to the early 1990s. With its straight lines, large windows and long rear end, it became a symbol of Swedish dependability, and you can still see them on the road today.
As a wedding car the 245 is an unusual choice, and that is exactly why some couples look for one. Perhaps a parent or grandparent used to drive one, or perhaps its straightforward, honest shape suits the style of your wedding. The large boot has room for flowers, gifts or a picnic basket for a photo shoot. There is plenty of space in the back for a dress, and the four doors make getting in easy.
Classic Volvos and similar wedding cars
On the Volvo page you will find the Volvos that rental companies currently offer, such as the Volvo Amazon. It is older than the 245 and has rounder shapes, but it shares the same Swedish dependability and a friendly look that works well in wedding photos.
If you are mainly looking for a dependable classic from the 1970s or 1980s, also take a look at the Mercedes-Benz W123, which was also available as an estate and is known for being almost indestructible. With a classic car from this period, ask whether it has air conditioning and how it will get to your venue.
Frequently asked questions
Can an estate car make a lovely wedding car?
Absolutely, if it suits your story or style. A classic estate car has a personal, down-to-earth look and some practical advantages: plenty of room for flowers, gifts or the dress. With a ribbon and a floral arrangement on the bonnet, it is instantly recognisable as a wedding car. In photos, it often looks surprisingly charming.
Can we hire a car similar to the one our parents had?
That's a lovely idea, and it's possible if a car like that is in the listings. If the exact model isn't there, look at a car from the same make or the same period. In your request, explain why the car matters to you: rental companies will often help you find a suitable alternative.
Are classic Volvos reliable as wedding cars?
Volvos from the 1960s to the 1980s have a reputation for being solid and are easy to maintain. Even so, it is still an old car. Ask the rental company about its servicing and what the plan is if it breaks down. A short route along country roads suits a classic car better than a long drive on the motorway.
Which wedding car suits a down-to-earth, personal wedding?
A car with a story suits it best: a classic from a make that featured in your family, or a car that matches your personality. A simple, dependable classic such as a Volvo, an old Mercedes or a Peugeot gives a warm look without being over the top.
