GETAWAY CAR: WHY CLASSIC RIDES ARE A WEDDING ESSENTIAL

The getaway car is back – and couples are loving it. At DRIVESHARE, we’ve seen a 115% increase in bookings for chauffeured classic cars over the past year, with weddings driving the trend.

After years of minimalist elopements and registry office chic, more couples are bringing back big-day traditions – but with a twist. From vintage Rolls-Royces to open-top Mustangs, the wedding getaway car is fast becoming the stylish send-off of choice.

More than just transport

Whether it’s a dramatic drive-off into the sunset or just a cool way to show up at the venue, the car has become more than just transport. It’s a statement, a memory-maker. A ‘wow’ moment that lives on in the photos – and the guests’ stories.

And thanks to DRIVESHARE, it’s easier than ever to find the perfect one. With thousands of cars across the US and a growing number available with chauffeurs, couples can choose a vehicle that suits their style and their budget – from a $50 daily rental to something more high-end and head-turning.

A symbol of freedom

“Today’s couples want to do things their own way,” says DRIVESHARE CEO Kent Mosbech. “We love seeing the getaway car come back – it works because it symbolises freedom, adventure and the start of something new.”

For couples who don’t want to drive themselves, many of our vehicles offer chauffeur services too, giving you the full experience without the logistics. Think ribbons on the bonnet, doors opened for you, and no need to fiddle with Google Maps in full wedding attire.

Join the community

With cars available in every major city – and even the smallest towns – there’s something for every taste, from vintage limousines to quirky microcars, all maintained by passionate owners who love to share them. And because DRIVESHARE is a community-based platform, every booking includes an in-person key handoff and flexible coverage options, so there’s no last-minute stress.

If you're planning a wedding and want to make an entrance (or an exit) that no one will forget, now’s the time to start looking. Because as it turns out, the old-school getaway car isn’t just back – it’s better than ever.
