Betty the Bug, our VW Beetle
Born in 1972, Betty is a stunning white 1600cc 1302 VW Karmen Cabriolet which can be decorated in any colour and is proving to be a very popular wedding car.

Basil, our VW Split Screen Camper
Basil is a classic 1966 campervan. He was re-born in 2006 following a nut & bolt restoration and has been finished in original 60’s VW colours of Lotus White over Bahama Blue and is re-upholstered in cream leather and funky turquoise fabric. He’ll seat up to 5 passengers and transport them in classic style. Watch heads turn as you drive by!

Winnie the Campervan
Winnie was born in 1970 so she is an earlier Type 2 VW Bay Window Bus.  Winnie is a classic antique white with a smart and stylish red interior.  She’s spacious enough to seat up to 5 passengers  and is perfect for bridesmaids, the groom, best man and ushers or a group of friends!

We are pleased to offer customised quotations based on your individual needs rather than standard pricing. Prices vary according to distance, hours of rental and whether you are booking an individual vehicle or a combination. For a personal quotation or to arrange a viewing of our classic VWs, please contact us by phone or email.

We offer discounts for:

• Bookings for more than one vehicle
• Mid week weddings
• Bookings taken at a wedding exhibition

Why not meet us at our forthcoming Wedding Events.

As a special gift to celebrate the occasion Solent Bug & Bus provide a complimentary bottle of champagne (or equivalent) for the Newly Weds.

How do I book?
Contact us for a personal quotation and once the price and terms and conditions have been agreed by both parties, a 25% deposit will secure your booking for the date that you require.

How do I pay?
We accept payment for bookings by cash, cheque or bank transfer.  We will send an invoice via email approximately 6 weeks before the date of the wedding. An e-receipt will be issued when payment has been made.  If you prefer correspondence by post, just let us know.

Can children travel in the vehicles?
Yes, Basil seats 2 children, Babe seats 1 child and our Beetles seat 1 child each.  We do ask that the parent fits the child seat.

Can we have music playing?
Yes, we recommend it!  You may have a special song that will calm your nerves before the ceremony or a tune that holds a special meaning for you both.  All our vehicles have sound systems so just pass your CD to the driver and he’ll play it with pleasure.  Don’t worry if you forget your special music or can't think of any, we have some just in case! 

Do your drivers wear a uniform?
Our drivers wear the traditional chauffeur attire but if you prefer, we welcome any other suggestions to match your wedding theme. We have previously driven in Hawaiian shirts and have been asked to dress like a wizard!

Please do not hesitate to ask if you have a question that isn't answered above. We look forward to hearing from you.
