TL;DR
Across Singapore, a chauffeured bridal car costs about $300 to $800 for three hours, or $1,000 and up for a full day, usually before GST. A self-drive convertible from LuxeDrive is a flat $238 a day, with no GST, no hourly charges, a refundable $200 deposit, the full day, and unlimited mileage. For most couples that is the better value by far.

What wedding cars cost in Singapore: the market range
Wedding car prices in Singapore swing widely depending on the type of car, who is driving, and how long you book. The table below shows the typical ranges you will see across local providers, gathered from public vendor listings and wedding media coverage. It is a budgeting guide, not a quote, and the first row is LuxeDrive’s own self-drive rate so you can compare like for like.
| Wedding car option | Typical Singapore price | What you usually get |
|---|---|---|
| Self-drive convertible (LuxeDrive) | From $238 a day, no GST | The full day, unlimited mileage, you or a licensed friend drives |
| Chauffeured luxury sedan, short booking | About $300 to $800 for 3 hours | A driver, a three hour block, basic flower decoration |
| Chauffeured, full day (8 to 10 hours) | About $1,000 to $1,500 or more | A driver for the day, decoration, overtime billed if you run over |
| Vintage or classic car | About $1,000 to $2,500 | A driver, a statement car, usually a few hours |
| Supercar (Lamborghini, Ferrari) | $3,000 and up | A driver, a short headline appearance |
| Three-car motorcade | About $2,500 to $4,500 | Several cars and drivers for the whole entourage |
Two things are worth knowing before you compare. First, most chauffeured options are priced by the hour with a three hour minimum, so you are paying for the driver’s time rather than the day, and running late means overtime, on top of ERP and parking. Second, those rates are often quoted before tax. A GST-registered company adds GST at 9 percent, which has been the rate in Singapore since 1 January 2024, per IRAS. If you want to see how broad the market is, from vintage Volkswagens to Rolls-Royces, Her World has a useful editorial roundup of the options.
What a self-drive convertible costs
For a self-drive luxury convertible, you are looking at a single day rate, not an hourly meter. Here is where LuxeDrive’s convertible and cabriolet rental fleet starts:
| Car | From (per day) | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Audi A5 Cabriolet (RS5 bodykit) | $238 | Actual day, photoshoots, a sportier look |
| Mercedes E250 Cabriolet | $258 | Classic bridal car, softer lines |
| BMW Z4 Convertible | On request | Two-seater, ROM, couple shoots |
| Mercedes C-Class Cabriolet | On request | Elegant, pre-wedding shoots |
On top of the day rate, there is a refundable $200 deposit to hold your car and your date. You get that back after the car is returned. The day rate has no GST, no hourly charges, and no surprise fees at collection, so the number you see is close to the number you pay.
Self-drive versus a chauffeured bridal car: where the value is
This is where the money actually moves. A chauffeured wedding car is priced around two things: the car and the driver’s time. A mainstream luxury sedan with a driver commonly costs about $500 for a three hour block, and that is usually before GST. A self-drive convertible from LuxeDrive is $238 for the whole day. Even before you add tax to the chauffeured option, that is less than half the price for many more hours, which is the heart of the value difference.
| Self-drive convertible | Chauffeured bridal car | |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | From $238 for the whole day | Around $500 for 3 hours, often more |
| How it is priced | Flat day rate | Per car plus driver, usually by the hour |
| GST | None on the LuxeDrive rate | 9 percent added by GST-registered firms |
| Hours | The whole day | Fixed block, extensions cost extra |
| Driving to multiple spots | Included, unlimited mileage | Can add up if it runs long |
| Privacy in the car | Just the two of you | A driver is present |
| Who drives | You or a licensed friend or family member | The chauffeur only |
Put simply, self-drive gives you the lowest bill and the most time. The trade-off is honest: you give up having a professional behind the wheel, and you give up the fresh-flower bonnet styling that comes as standard with most chauffeured bridal packages. If being driven matters to you, or you want elaborate floral decoration without arranging it yourself, a chauffeured package can be the right call. For couples who want roof-down photos at their own pace, more privacy, a full day, and a much lower cost, self-drive is the better-value choice.
What is included in the price
The day rate is not just the keys. A LuxeDrive wedding car rental in Singapore covers:
- The full day, from morning collection to an evening return
- Unlimited mileage, so you can drive between the hotel, the church or temple, the venue, and your photo spots without watching the meter
- Convertible styling and ambient lighting set up for the car
- Full servicing and cleaning before your booking
- A second driver at no extra cost: a friend or family member with a valid licence can take the wheel
That last point matters more than people expect. If your brother drives better in traffic than you do on a nervous wedding morning, he can drive. With most chauffeur packages you do not get that choice.
How much you pay by occasion
Couples rarely rent only for the ceremony. The good news is that the day rate is the same whether you book the car for a quiet evening proposal or a full actual-day run. You decide how to spend the hours.
- Marriage proposal: book the car for the evening, park somewhere with a view, and keep it understated. Same day rate, you just use less of it.
- ROM or solemnisation: a half-day feel for a smaller event. A two-seater like the BMW Z4 suits a registry ceremony.
- Pre-wedding photoshoot: the car becomes a prop. This is where the convertible earns its keep, roof down, for a few hours with your photographer.
- Actual wedding day: the full morning-to-evening booking, often across several locations.
If your photoshoot and actual day are close together, ask about booking both in one rental window. It is usually cheaper than two separate single-day rentals, and far cheaper than booking a chauffeur twice.
What changes the final price
A few things move the number up or down:
- Car model. The Audi A5 starts lower than the Mercedes E250. Rarer cars cost more.
- How many days. Multi-day bookings (photoshoot plus actual day) often have better effective rates than two one-off days.
- Your date. Popular wedding dates, long weekends, and auspicious dates get booked out early. Booking ahead protects both the car and the price.
- Styling. Standard convertible styling is included. Specific floral arrangements or extras may be quoted separately.
- Tax. A self-drive rate with no GST stays as quoted. Chauffeured packages from GST-registered firms add 9 percent on top.
How to keep the cost sensible
You do not need to spend more to make the car look good. A few practical moves:
- Book early for popular and auspicious dates. Last-minute limits your choice and your leverage.
- If you have a confident licensed driver in the family, self-drive instead of paying for a chauffeur’s hours.
- Bundle your photoshoot and actual day into one rental window when the dates are near each other.
- Pick a styled convertible over a stretch limousine. A roof-down Audi or Mercedes photographs better in Singapore’s light and costs less than a novelty car.
- Check whether the price includes GST before you compare two quotes. A no-GST self-drive rate and a pre-GST chauffeured quote are not the same thing.
What you need to rent (so there are no surprises)
Before you book, check that you can meet the basics. For a LuxeDrive self-drive rental you need:
- Your NRIC or passport
- A valid Singapore driving licence
- A minimum age of 22
- At least 2 years of driving experience
- The refundable $200 deposit to confirm your date
That is the whole list. If you and a backup driver both clear it, you are set.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to rent a wedding car in Singapore?
It depends on whether you self-drive or hire a chauffeur. A self-drive luxury convertible starts from about $238 a day with no GST. A chauffeured bridal car usually costs about $300 to $800 for three hours, and a full day with a driver often runs $1,000 or more before GST.
How much is a chauffeured bridal car in Singapore?
Most chauffeured bridal cars are priced by the hour with a three hour minimum. A mainstream luxury sedan sits near $500 for three hours, vintage and classic cars run $1,000 to $2,500, and a three-car motorcade can reach $2,500 to $4,500. GST-registered firms add 9 percent on top.
Is self-drive cheaper than hiring a chauffeur?
Usually, by a wide margin. A self-drive convertible at $238 for the full day costs less than half of a typical $500 three hour chauffeured booking, and there is no GST and no hourly meter. You save mostly because you are not paying for a driver’s time.
Do I pay by the hour?
Not for self-drive. A self-drive wedding car is a flat day rate. You collect it in the morning and return it in the evening, with unlimited mileage in between. Chauffeured packages are the ones usually charged by the hour.
Can someone else drive the car on the day?
Yes. A friend or family member with a valid Singapore licence can drive at no extra cost, which is useful if you would rather not drive yourself on the day.
What happens if it rains?
The roof goes up. A convertible switches between roof-up and roof-down in seconds, and plenty of couples still get good photos in light rain.
How do I hold my date?
A refundable $200 deposit secures the car and your date. You settle the balance when you collect the car.
