Hummer H2 limos

The Hummer H2 limo is ideal for bold, high-capacity celebrations. It’s the classic choice for Hummer limo hire when you want a statement vehicle with space for larger groups, big doors for dramatic entrances, and room for a proper party setup.

Chrysler limos (Baby Bentley)

Chrysler limos — often called Baby Bentleys — strike a balance between elegance and fun. Popular for weddings and prom nights, these Chrysler limos (Baby Bentley) offer a refined exterior while still delivering on comfort and onboard amenities.

Lincoln Town Car limos

Classic Lincoln limousine hire suits formal events and red-carpet style arrivals. Plush leather seating and a quieter ride make them a favourite for couples and corporate guests who want a traditional look with modern reliability.

From themed wrap designs to bright pink finishes, themed limousines are made for hen parties, milestone birthdays and any event where fun is the point. These vehicles are engineered to be eye-catching while still offering safe, chauffeur-driven transport.

Compare your options

Choosing between a stretch limo, party bus, luxury minibus or chauffeur car depends on the mood of your occasion and practical needs like group size and route. Here’s a simple comparison to help you decide.

Planning your hire

A little planning makes a big difference. Here are practical tips to get it right in County Durham.

• Book well ahead for peak dates — school proms and popular wedding months fill fast.
• Choose the right size: count passengers and allow room for coats, cameras and gifts.
• Allow time for photographs: Durham Cathedral and the Castle are amazing backdrops, so factor in photo stops at the start or end of your journey.
• Check pick-up and drop-off access at your venue — some older streets in the city centre restrict parking or turning for larger vehicles.
• Tell us any special requests early (champagne service, playlist preferences, or themed decorations).

Local venues and routes

We know the local spots where limos make an entrance. Durham Cathedral and Castle draw wedding parties, Ramside Hall and the Radisson Blu host receptions, and the Gala Theatre and Beamish museum are common places for group trips. If you’re heading to a night out around Old Elvet or along the river, we’ll plan routes that avoid known pinch points and advise on timed pickups to beat the busiest stretches of the A1(M) and local one-way systems.

Pricing and booking

We price by vehicle type, time and distance, with clear quotes and no hidden extras. For longer journeys across the County Durham area or into neighbouring towns like Darlington and Stockton-on-Tees, we’ll provide a straightforward estimate and a deposit schedule to secure your booking.

• Secure date with a modest deposit — this guarantees the vehicle and chauffeur.
• We confirm pick-up windows and routes a few days before your event to reduce surprises.
• Flexible adjustments: we handle sensible changes and explain our cancellation terms clearly.
