The wedding lead car counts in the total number. The symbolism of red wedding cars: Since ancient times, Chinese people have cherished festive and lively atmospheres. Therefore, more and more couples now opt for red wedding cars as their lead vehicle, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune. The symbolism of white wedding cars: They represent sincere and pure love, while also carrying the meaning of "growing old together." Black: Represents maturity, elegance, and solemnity, appearing very dignified. Additionally, it offers a wider selection of brands. Choosing the number of wedding cars: When selecting the number of wedding cars, it's advisable to avoid the numbers 13 and 14 whenever possible, with even numbers being preferable. However, in practice, it's essential to consider local customs. For instance, some traditions dictate an odd number when departing and an even number when returning.

In a wedding motorcade, the lead car is definitely counted in the total number. I always remind my friends that a wedding motorcade emphasizes a sense of unity. The lead car is usually the stretch limousine for the bride and groom, adorned most extravagantly, but it remains part of the motorcade. For example, when rental companies provide quotes, they specify the total number of vehicles, including the lead car—excluding it would reduce the total count by one, weakening the motorcade's grandeur. From a logistical standpoint, parking arrangements or route coordination must account for all vehicles to prevent traffic congestion. Culturally, in traditional Chinese weddings, the motorcade symbolizes joyful unity, with the lead car playing a pivotal role, so it must be included in the count. When helping relatives organize weddings, I always advise them to confirm the total number to avoid misunderstandings affecting the budget. In short, the lead car is not only part of the total count but often the most expensive one—don’t overlook this detail.

I've driven as a wedding car several times, and the lead car definitely counts in the total. It's not like some places where they distinguish between primary and secondary cars and don't count it—in the total fleet count, it's considered the first car. When renting cars, the company's quote clearly states how many cars are included, with the lead car being part of that count; otherwise, if you rent five or six cars but one is missing, the pricing would be chaotic. From my experience, the lead car is the most eye-catching in the fleet, but the total number determines the overall scale. I've also discussed this with friends—for example, in smaller cities, weddings might start with as few as three cars, while in bigger cities, fleets can exceed ten cars, with the lead car still counting as one. I advise newlyweds to check the contract details. Even on regular roads, traffic regulations monitor the number of cars in a fleet, and all must be counted. Over the years in this business, I've learned that the lead car can't be ignored—it's the starting point but part of the whole.

The wedding lead car definitely counts towards the total fleet number. I've attended many weddings where the convoy is lined up, and the lead car always takes the front position but is included in the total car count. For example, if the fleet is said to have eight cars, the lead car is one of them and counted as such. Rental companies handle their quotes this way. This counting method is straightforward and practical.

Rental car company employee talking about this topic: The wedding lead car definitely counts in the fleet quantity. When giving business quotes, the price list clearly states how many vehicles are included with the lead car, otherwise customers would be confused. Price-wise, the lead car usually has additional decoration fees but it's still part of the count. Fleet size affects rental costs - ranging from as small as three vehicles to over a dozen, all are included. Parking or traffic regulation arrangements also require precise counting. It's recommended to check the contract before renting to avoid undercounting.
