Apart from the transportation issue, luxury automobiles also decorate the glam quotient of wedding photograph-shoots, they factor out.

Bookings may be made after checking the availability of a favored automobile. Rates range depending on automobiles, availability, and whether or not it’s ‘wedding ceremony season’ or now not. Fuel fees are often covered in the condominium charges that generally paintings on the idea of programs.

For sure, “excessive-profile” weddings, mass bookings for more than one day are the norm. “On such events, specifically whilst the purchaser is a famous personality, we rent the vehicles on specific terms and situations as they will now not need our drivers,” says Siras M, proprietor of Sree Tours in Kumarapuram.

Customers say they do not mind “splurging a piece” for an event “that happens simplest as soon as in a person’s existence.” Like, Nikhil Ravindran, a techie from Kazhakoottam, who had booked a white Audi A5 for his brother’s wedding a couple of months lower back. “We have a Honda Amaze, but my brother, Aghil Ravindran, running in Bengaluru, become keen on an Audi,” he says.
