Vintage car rental prices? Limo or shuttle prices?

Just wondering if anyone knows an estimate for renting a vintage car. I know there is a guy in GV that has some but he didn't tell me pricing over the phone. Would love any estimates you might be aware of. 

Same with limo or shuttle prices please!

    We used Columbus Trolley.  Our final bill was like $500 for 3 hours.  It took us to the church from the 'bridal suite' which was actually where we did all our pictures (around German Village), then from the church to the reception.
    I think it was like $350 for the first 2 hours (their min), then $100 for each additional hour.

    Ditto Columbus Trolley. We loved it (and it was actually my husband's idea)! It seats 22 people, so if you didn't want to use it for you/husband and bridal party, you could use it as shuttle transportation.

    So we did our guest block at the Drury downtown.  Scot and the groomsmen also stayed here.

    I rented out the German Village Guest House for friday for the bridemaids and I to stay in and get ready saturday morning (there are 3 bedrooms).  Scot and I then stayed in there Saturday night.  It was so much fun.  We did portraits in the backyard of the guest house, then a handful of group shots in the cobblestone streets.  (we did a first look, the guys and our parents all came over around 2pm we took lots of photos then left for the church about 330.) 

    here's a link to my facebook album with a lot of shots at the guest house.

    for booking 3 rooms friday night, and 1 room saturday night, our final bill was like $800.  Pretty steep, I know, and I originally was going to have the girls contribute (as they would have all needed a hotel room anyway), but when it came down to it, I was so "over" saving money, I just wanted the day to be perfect, and it was.  I highly highly recommend the guesthouse for a wedding weekend, it was absolutely wonderful... if you can get enough pennies together ;)

    Em -- Thank you so much for the recommendations on the trolley!  I will definitely be giving them a call.  I hope you don't mind, but I checked out the FB link you posted to see the guest house (I live in German Village and thought that sounded really cool -- you look beautiful and your pics came out GREAT btw), and I couldn't help but notice your BMs hair!  It looks great!  Did they do their own or go to a salon?  I ask b/c I have long hair that looks very similar to theirs, and I have been searching for a stylist in Cbus forever but haven't found one that I've liked.  I have no idea what I'm going to do for my wedding.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you!

    We used the black 1950 Cadillac from Cardinal Transportation.  I think it was around $250 for 2 hours.  They were great.  Our driver drove around our church parking lot to ensure the car didn't over heat for 90 min. until the ceremony was over.  I even think we went over the 2 hr. bc we were delayed at one point, but he was really nice about it and we were never charged for more.
