How to have a retro car for your Paris elopement? First of all, it is only available for the Carousel package. For the Castle package, the itinerary is already too packed, and there is no possibility to add any options.
"Bonjour all the beautiful, adventurous, and ambitious ladies, our wonderful brides. And our respect to the intelligent handsome future grooms. Hope you have a good time reading. Let's begin!"

FOR THE CAROUSEL PACKAGE ONLY
The vintage car in the photo isn’t our standard transportation—though I wish it was because it’s so cool! In our packages, we include a regular economy class car. If you want something more special, like a retro car, you’ll need to book that separately.
Also, we can’t remove the price of our car from the package, as our team still needs transportation for the day.

ALWAYS BOOK SEPARATELY

How exactly to book it? Since our elopement packages don't include any additional coordination services, we ask you to book a car yourself. There are plenty of other companies that offer vintage and retro car rental:

HOW TO FIND A CAR COMPANY

You'll need to reach out to the company to check their availability.
Send this message: "We are working with the Do it Paris Way team and would like to book a car for our elopement. The ceremony will be at (insert your ceremony location). We will start at sunrise, so we’ll need the car early in the morning. I’ll send you the exact timeline 2-3 days before the wedding."
Once you’ve pre-booked the car, please let us know. Send a message with a screenshot of the conversation and the company name.

HOW TO PLAN
The driver will meet you after the ceremony if it's at the Eiffel Tower. For Tuileries, the process is different.
You won’t actually drive the car like in the photos. A driver will handle the car, and you’ll hop in for 5-10 minutes to take pictures. Between locations, you’ll travel with Tim.
You only need the car for a maximum of 2 hours, enough time for photos at the Eiffel Tower and one additional location. There’s no need to book the car for the whole shoot.
Please note: If you book a retro car, there is an additional €300 charge for a photoshoot extension. This is because the car adds 30-40 minutes at each location for parking, logistics, and photos, making the shoot about twice as long.

On the elopement day
Tim: "Since photoshoots with a car usually take longer, we charge an additional €300 for the extended time. of course, you will receive more photos."
