This is the far end of our patch, and the quote says so
Our Hummers are kept at Arlesey in Bedfordshire. Kettering is around an hour away, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.
What that means in practice: the positioning run is built into the quote rather than added afterwards, and we ask for the shape of the whole evening up front. A pick-up, a wait and a return works well. Three separate trips across three towns on the same night is a different job, and we would rather price it properly at the start than discover the problem when the vehicle is already out.
It also means we are firmer about timings here than we are in Bedford. If your booking is tight, we build in more margin on the outward leg, being early costs nothing.
Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough and Rushden
Kettering
The town centre and the roads around Rockingham Road are workable for a stretch. Wicksteed Park comes up regularly for family bookings and children’s parties, and it has the space a thirty-foot vehicle needs.
Corby
Newer layout and wider roads than the other three, which makes it one of the easier places in the county to run a full stretch Hummer.
Wellingborough and Rushden
Both have older streets near their centres where a sixteen-seater is the wrong answer and the GMC Typhoon or the Hummer H2 is the right one. Rushden Lakes is straightforward and comes up often as a meeting point.
The lanes in between
This is the part that catches people out. The villages between these towns are joined by single-track lanes with passing places and no turning heads. A thirty-foot stretch Hummer cannot use them, it is not a question of care, it physically cannot turn round. If your pickup or your venue is down one, tell us at enquiry stage and we will either route around it or put you in a smaller vehicle. What we will not do is send a stretch and hope.
The bookings we take in this corner of Northamptonshire
Weddings at country venues
More of our bookings here are weddings than anywhere else we cover, and more of them are at rural venues. That makes the access conversation the important one: a long gravel approach with a tight turning head suits the Hummer H2 and defeats a stretch. Send us the venue name and we will look at it properly.
Silverstone race weekends
They change traffic across the whole county, not just the roads near the circuit. If your date falls on one, we plan around it rather than hoping.
Proms
The same fortnight as everywhere else, and the same handful of Fridays. Booking early matters more here because there are only so many vehicles and they cannot be in two counties at once.
Nights out
Groups tend to travel to Northampton, Leicester or Milton Keynes rather than staying local, which makes the sixteen-seat stretch a sensible use of the journey time.
Questions from bookings out this way
Do you actually cover Kettering, or is it just listed?
We cover it, and we are straight about the fact that it is around an hour from our yard at Arlesey. That is reflected in the quote rather than hidden in it.
My venue is down a country lane, can the Hummer get there?
A sixteen-seat stretch is around thirty feet long and cannot turn on a single-track lane. Give us the venue or the postcode and we will check it. If it will not work we will say so and suggest the Hummer H2 or the GMC Typhoon instead.
Do you cover Corby, Wellingborough and Rushden too?
Yes, along with the villages between them. Corby is the easiest of the four for a full stretch; the older parts of Wellingborough and Rushden often suit a smaller vehicle better.
How many can each Hummer carry?
Sixteen seated in either stretch Hummer, eight in the GMC Typhoon stretch and four plus the driver in the Hummer H2.
What else do you run in the county?
Party buses, the Lincoln stretch and wedding cars. See the Northamptonshire page, or the Northampton Hummer page for the town itself.
