Classic Car Hire for Photoshoots & Film
Period-correct hero cars with a driver, for shoots anywhere in the Waikato.
A genuine period car does something to a frame that set dressing cannot fake. Chrome catches light differently, the proportions are wrong in exactly the right way, and nothing about it reads as modern.
We hire the fleet out for stills, video and film work across the Waikato, with a driver who will reposition the car as many times as the shot needs.
What we are hired for
- Fashion and editorial stills
- Engagement, wedding and portrait shoots
- Music videos and short film
- Period drama and 1950s or 1960s set work
- Product and brand campaigns needing a hero vehicle
- Car club and enthusiast photography

How it works on the day
The car arrives clean and comes with a driver who stays for the duration. That matters more than it sounds: these are not cars you want a crew member reversing into position, and having someone who knows the vehicle means you can reposition quickly between setups.
We are happy to work to a shot list, sit idle between setups, or move between multiple locations in a day. Tell us the schedule and we will price it.
- Driver included for the full call time
- Multiple locations in one day, no problem
- Repositioning between setups as often as needed
- Engine running or static, whichever the shot needs
- We will not let anyone else drive the car, but we will put it anywhere you want it
Locations we know well
If you need a location as well as a car, we can help. Between the tours we run every week, we know where to find empty rural roads, black sand beaches, limestone country, native bush and long tree-lined driveways, usually without a permit or a crowd.
