We used V Dub Rides for our wedding day last weekend, we hired Billy Lovebug. Hayley is super friendly and has always been responsive to any questions we have asked. On our wedding day Simon arrived early and was very professional and helpful throughout the day. He stayed longer than he had to, to make sure we got all the photos we needed. We loved having a quirky car compared to normal traditional wedding cars. All of our guests loved the beetle. We would highly recommend V Dub Rides. Thank you for being apart of our special day.
