British Motor Coach

I did a wine tasting tour through British Motor Coach this weekend, and was very impressed. I don’t typically write Unilocal reviews, but felt compelled to after the outstanding service we received. Roy was very helpful throughout the booking process, and was a pleasure to work with. Our driver, Rossi, went above and beyond to make sure we had a great day. When he dropped us off, he told us a few times to look in the car and make sure we had everything. Even with the multiple reminders, my sister left her iPhone in the vehicle. Rossi called me to let me know a phone had been left in the car, then drove the phone all of the way back to Queen Anne in his personal vehicle on his was home from work! Needless to say, most people/​companies would not have felt the need to do this, and we were very appreciative. I highly recommend British Motor Coach, and will use them again in the future.

The incorrect car was sent on our wedding day so our entire party did not fit and had to drive a separate car. After the wedding they offered us a $ 50 refund which was honestly a huge insult. On a wedding day that I spent a year planning all of the details carefully one thing I was set on was having one car that held the entire bridal party so we would have a fun and easy few hours taking photos. My afternoon was ruined because the incorrect car was sent. All of the guys were dropped off at the venue so to just happen to have someone to have a car big enough to hold the guys was incredibly lucky. Not only had I planned for all of us guys/​girls to be in one car because it would obviously be a much more fun experience but my intention was to not have anyone drive so we weren’t waiting on people trying to find parking, etc in these busy and public areas. Incredibly disappointing and unacceptable.

Rented the white princess for the evening to go to Tietro Zinzanni, must say the car was not up to the hype. Inside, there were screws coming out on the window trim, the trim on the windows was falling off, it vapor locked and stalled twice in traffic, it just seemed not to be well maintained. You will need to bring your own music, I suggested they just put a small Bluetooth speaker in the back. The reason it got a good score was because of the driver he was awesome and knew the town well. While we were watching the show he had another passenger pickup in the SUV they owned and I actually asked him to just use the SUV to pick us up. Not part of the trip but important, they actually double charged me, I called and was able to get the charge reversed.

We hired a vintage Rolls Royce from BMC to pick us up after our wedding because we thought it would make for really nice photos. Unfortunately, we got married on one of the hottest days of the year and our intended car died on the side of the road about half-​way to our venue. Needless to say we were very upset. We realize the cars are older and it was an uncommonly hot day, but we were upset that there wasn’t a back-​up plan in place to get some sort of vehicle to us in time. That said, Roy at BMC did make it up to us the best he could by refunding our money and offering us free transportation to and from the airport for our honeymoon. They drivers were prompt and very professional. Things didn’t work out for us on the wedding day, but I can recommend this company as being professional and doing what they could to make it up to us.

I run into the folks at British Motor Coach often at weddings and really appreciate the great service they give my clients. We need more service providers like this in the wedding community!

I love these guys.
A few years ago I used them for my now, Matron of Honor’s bachelorette party so naturally they came to mind this summer when it was «my turn»
I rented the white RR for our getaway car and it was absolutely perfect! Our driver was so friendly and nice and riding in the car was an experience in and of itself. I loved that he knew enough about the car to answer some of our more basic questions.
We got to pop champagne too and drive off to our getaway location. It was an absolute perfect «happily ever after» moment driving off from our venue and to the hotel.
I would use them again and again in a heart beat. BMC has been great to work with!
Thank you for the wonderful memory!

I highly recommend this company. The Manager, Roy, is honest, friendly and easy to work with. I booked a wine tasting tour for my Daughter and her bridesmaids. It turned out wonderful! The girls had a great time and their driver, Manny, was prompt, courteous and helpful without being intrusive. Looking forward to the wedding in a few weeks. We have booked a white 1962 Silver Cloud Rolls-​Royce for the Bride and Groom to leave the reception. British Motor Coach offers many unique forms of transportation. Definitely worth it!

British Motor Coach played a part in my proposal and I have nothing but good things to say about them. They picked us up in a 1950’s Bentley and drove us to 3 different spots my fiancé had used to plan out the proposal. The driver was nice, polite and friendly but definitely gave us our time to chat and just enjoy the moment between us.
We had the car for about 2 hours and the driver worked with us to make sure we were doing alright and that everything was going according to plan. Great service and team!

These guys are the best. We just had our wedding and used the British Motor Coach to transport the bridal party and our families. The party bus was right on time (same one used by Golden Tate!) and the driver was so very accommodating and flexible as the wedding party changed destinations when the rain stopped. The bus was clean and spacious, the ride smooth and the music rocking. The only hiccup was that they forgot to pack us an ice bucket for the champagne (or we simply just missed it). Oh, and if you have an ipod with you, they can play it but you need to bring an auxiliary cord. Thanks!

The lady that spoke to us was very courteous and the car came on time. All the cars were rented out the weekend we needed them except for the Daimler. We had waited last minute to book but we were not disappointed. Despite the very heavy unusual rain the day of the wedding, the driver was outside with umbrella in hand ready for the bride and groom at all times. He also wiped down the windows so it remained visible. The car fit the theme of my daughter’s wedding and loved it.

Our daughter was married on Sunday, August 18^th. The car was on time. The driver was professional and friendly. The Bentley was awesome and was the perfect ending to a perfect wedding! We had excellent communication from the company.

I set up a round trip drive to and from dinner as a post-​engagement celebration. The logistics went seamlessly. Very happy they showed up a little early, very cordial and friendly driver with Lance. My girlfriend was very surprised, and they went the extra mile to offer non-​booze sparkling drinks on the ride. He took a more scenic route so we could cruise a bit through Seattle, which was quite enjoyable. We got lots of looks, even folks taking photos of us in the car :)
I was very happy with the experience, and the 1950 Bentley was beautiful. This is a unique experience, and in my opinion, SO MUCH better than the traditional limo.

My mother in law got us a getaway car for our grand exit and this company did the job! We got a Silver Rolls Royce, who showed up on time, at the right location, and came with a lovely British gentleman who drove us to get burgers en route to the hotel we were staying at on wedding night. He even offered suggestions for where else we could drive to or by that would be pretty, if we were feeling up for it! Very impressed with the service, and the driver.

My husband is a dual American/​British citizen, and we got engaged on a trip to England, so we really wanted to have a London Cab take us from our reception to our hotel on our wedding night.
When we contacted British Motor Coach to schedule the cab the prices were quite high for a one-​way trip from Georgetown to Downtown Seattle, but when my husband brought this up they happily negotiated the fee down, and we ended up paying a $ 200 flat rate instead.
The cab arrived a few minutes early and was ready and waiting when we were ready to depart. Our lovely cabbie was polite and helpful, and we enjoyed every second of the trip with him. He assisted us with getting bags and gifts in and out of the cab, and the only sad thing was we forgot to take our complimentary jar of Grey Poupon with us! But it was a lovely little touch and it made is both giggle.
British Motor Coach has outstanding service and they are worth every penny!

If you want a fabulous vintage car for your Seattle area wedding – this is the place to go!
They have a gorgeous selection of vehicles (which you can peruse in their warehouse in South Lake Union), in addition to more practical vehicles like traditional 10-​person limos, Town cars, and even vans.
We ended up renting the Rolls Royce Silver Cloud and the (very spacious) Daimler limo – both white. So classic and elegant! Plus a 10-​person limo for our bridal party. We also used BMC for my bachelorette party and to shuttle guests on our wedding day.
The drivers were timely, courteous, and fun!
The only minor snafu was that they forgot our hand-​made «honeymoon bound» sign, which we had dropped off beforehand. Oh well.
Definitely recommend BMC!

I used British Motor Coach for special event transportation. We reserved a 10-​person stretch limousine and a vintage white Bentley.
The limo picked up from two pick-​up points. The Bentley had a pick up at a third pick-​up point (a downtown hotel prior to the event). We then had a unique request in that the drivers of the two vehicles needed to stay in contact with each other due to event timing.
Everything went off flawlessly. My driver (a Campbell) was wonderful. He was kind and talked to me just the right amount. He kept us in the loop on timing and pricing after the event which was greatly appreciated.
My mom helped me coordinate the reservation and the owner was easy to work with and very kind to my mom. We absolutely recommend British Motor Coach!

This was the start of my huge surprise for my bf, I even had to fly us out to Seattle to experience everything! The car was ready and waiting when we came down from our room at our downtown hotel. He was so surprised, a 1962 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II?! What can I say? I set out to knock his socks off, I went ALL out that night. I had someone make the reservation for me and it worked out very well. We were picked up at the hotel and rode through downtown a little bit, while people pointed and starred. He talked to our driver, Tony a little bit about car stuff, my bf is a huge car guy. We enjoyed some apple cider which was in the ice bucket in the back with us. The car took us to our first stop, Seattle Seaplanes and waited while we took a 20 minute scenic flight. I know it sounds a little silly to reserve a car for an hour but not be in it for 20 minutes of that hour, but I couldn’t help it, it was for my love and I know he enjoyed every minute of it! After the short flight, we proceeded to our restaurant, Canlis. There was a little awkward moment after we got out of the car because I said I wanted to pay cash but I did not end up doing so. When I had the reservation made I wanted to pay cash but it seemed like they had already authorized my card so I let that pending charge go through and kept the cash. I am so happy this worked out instead of taking a town car or even worse, a cab to those destinations. Although I have made car reservations before, I never realized there were two hour minimums so I was a little anxious especially leading up to the trip, our plans finally became solid the day before our flight/​dinner.

AMAZING service!
I found out two days before my sister’s wedding that she didn’t have a car to take her + her new husband to their hotel after the reception, so I called BMC *the day before* the wedding. They had the car I wanted (the black and silver Rolls-​Royce Silver Cloud, such a gorgeous vehicle!) and couldn’t have been more helpful taking my reservation.
The driver arrived on time and waited patiently while we wrapped up last minute wedding things, and took photos with the happy new couple. My sister tells me the service after they left was top-​notch — they had cake and sparkling cider in the car, and took a leisurely drive down to Alkai before being dropped off at their Seattle hotel.
For your money, there is no better service than British Motor Coach. I highly recommend them, and hope to use them for my own wedding!

Debated between 5 and 3 stars so settled on 4.
We used them for our wedding, a big limo to take people to the venue and back to the reception and a fancy rolls for us after the wedding to take us to our wedding night lodging.
Firstly the limos, driver and everything was awesome. for sure a 5 star
The 3 (or less) star part was the billing. We went over by about an hour on the first part of it (no biggie we did it and were willing to pay for it) but we were never told either a quick e-​mail or invoice or anything, they just turned around and billed our credit card. We certainly don’t disagree with the charges but you don’t go charging peoples cards without letting them know you are going to or have done so, we only discovered when we got the credit card statement; pretty classless.

After getting married on the east coast in July, my husband and I decided to have a second reception out here in Seattle for our west coast friends who weren’t able to make it out east. As a surprise, I booked a car with British Motor Coach — my husband is British, and I was able to get a 1967 London taxi.
The entire experience, from first phone call until the minute we were dropped off back at home, was A+. Our driver was courteous, patient, friendly, and helpful. He had to wait for us both when he picked us up at our house as well as when he picked us up after the reception, and he was smiling and pleasant, standing in the rain with an umbrella, both times.
The car was beautiful and well maintained, with a lovely Oriental carpet inside. It was stocked with water and sparkling juice. Our driver did get a little lost on the way to the venue, but since you pay a flat fare and we weren’t in a huge rush, we weren’t bothered at all.
I would 100% recommend British Motor Coach, and know we will use them again in the future.
