Frequently asked questions

How far in advance should I book?

For busy weekends, proms and wedding season we recommend booking as early as possible — ideally several weeks ahead. For standard weekend nights, booking a couple of weeks in advance usually secures the best vehicles and times.

Can we bring our own music and decorations?

Absolutely. Most vehicles allow playlists via Bluetooth and modest decorations, but check with the operator about rules for adhesive items or open flames. Let your chauffeur know your plan when you book.

Are drivers insured and licensed?

Yes — all chauffeurs are fully licensed and insured. Emphasis on punctuality, safe driving and professionalism is part of how we operate across Castle Douglas and nearby towns like Dalbeattie and Kirkcudbright.
