Though many may not realise, there is a Difference Between a Limousine and Stretch Limo.
What is this difference, you ask? Well, the main difference between a limousine and stretch limo is the size, which in turn influences the features the vehicle can offer.
While the term “limousine” can be used to reference all types of limousine-style transport cars – including the classic “stretch limo” – the same does not apply inversely.

Not all limousines are stretch limos. In fact, many limousines are actually sedans – you may have even driven alongside one recently without knowing!
It is important to understand the difference between a limousine and stretch limo when planning your wedding. Knowing how many people each style of limo can cater for, as well as its internal features, is the first step in choosing the right transport for your special day.
Limousines come in all types and sizes, but are generally characterised by their luxury and by the hire company’s inclusion of a professional chauffeur. Whatever theme you have chosen for your wedding, there is a limousine to suit your style and requirements.



Classic Limos
When people hear the word “limousine”, the classic stretch limo is usually the first thing that comes to mind. Available in black or white, these shiny vehicles bring a touch of elegance to any occasion. You’ll find classic limousines in a variety of sizes – sedans, mid-sized 6-seaters and 10-seater stretch limos.
The larger vehicles often include onboard sound systems, flat screen televisions, while some even have laser lighting and equipped bars.
Retro Limos
For a nostalgic throwback and high-impact entrance, choose a limousine style that is both exciting and unique. Imagine an EH Holden, classy Jaguar or Mustang, driven by an experienced chauffeur and impeccably restored.
Vintage Limos
Are you planning a traditional wedding? A Dodge, Rolls Royce or Hot Rod vintage limousine might be exactly what you’re looking for to make the breathtaking entrance of your dreams.
When considering your wedding transport options, it helps to have a clear idea of what these options are. Defining the difference between a limousine and stretch limo is the start for many couples who are trying to wade through an ocean of information.
