Canestri Autonoleggi, Car Hire Italy

Canestri Autonoleggi is a car hire and chauffeur company in Rome that specialises in cars for weddings and ceremonies. Its fleet is a mix of vintage and classic models and modern cars, and every vehicle can be viewed in person at its premises before a booking is made.

The vintage collection centres on Rolls-Royce, including a Silver Cloud, several Silver Wraith limousines and a drophead cabriolet, alongside Bentley S2 saloons, Excalibur Phaeton and Tiffany cabriolets, a vintage London taxi, a Volkswagen Beetle cabriolet and a Volkswagen T1 bus. For a more traditional arrival it also offers horse-drawn carriages with white or black horses and coachmen in period livery, and a vintage sidecar motorcycle.

Among modern cars it hires out a Bentley Flying Spur, Rolls-Royce Phantom, Maserati Quattroporte, Ghibli and GranCabrio, Jaguar XJ and a Mercedes S-Class, as well as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and Alfa Romeo sports cars. Lincoln and Hummer limousines are available for wedding transfers, hen and stag parties and evenings out in Rome.

Cars are hired with a uniformed chauffeur or, for selected models, without a driver, and the price quoted is usually all inclusive. Bridal cars can be dressed with flowers and ribbons, and the company can add further vehicles for bridesmaids, parents and guests. Weekday weddings are offered a 10 percent discount.
