MEET OLIVIA GAUCH FROM FIAT 500 HIRE 01905 391 347 | www.fiat500hire.com Tell us about your company. At Fiat 500 Hire we rent out cute classic Fiat 500s for weddings, photoshoots, events and filming. Our company was born out of a passion to bring the adorable classics to people all around the UK with a network of cars available for hire. We were also lucky enough to be named Bridebook’s Wedding Car Transport Company of the Year in 2017. What do you offer couples for the big day? We have lots of different locations across the UK and offer Fiat 500s from a few hours up to a full day for weddings. All trips are catered for, whether you’re getting married at a church or a country house. Our vehicles make quite a statement – who doesn’t want to be standing out of the roof ready to throw the bouquet, or have balloons bigger than the car attached to the bumper? If you’re looking for something a bit quirky that will not only be a talking point of the day but also make people stop and smile, then this is the car for you. What should couples expect when booking your services? Our cars come chauffeur driven, and brides-to-be will be pleased to learn that we take the front passenger seat out, so there’s more room for the all-important dress. How long before the wedding should couples book? We take bookings up to two years in advance, and although COVID-19 has disrupted 2020 for many couples, we have been happily moving bookings to 2021 and refunding deposits as its been a tough situation for many. We haven’t done as many weddings this year, but we’ve still made sure that brides arrived in style to their ceremony and have been able to enjoy driving around in a cute classic. What are your top tips for couples? Don’t be put off by the size of the classic Fiat 500, they are larger than you think and will bring the wow factor to any wedding.
