Vintage & Classic Wedding Car Hire in the Waikato
Genuine classics, not replicas. Chauffeur driven across the Waikato from $150 per hour.
There is a real difference between a vintage wedding car and a modern car dressed up to look like one. Ours are the genuine article: cars from 1955, 1964 and 1966, maintained and driven rather than parked up as display pieces.
That matters most in the photographs. Original chrome, original lines and paint with sixty years of depth in it do not look the same as a reproduction, and the difference shows up on the day.

Vintage, classic or retro: which is which
The terms get used interchangeably in wedding hire and they do not quite mean the same thing. Strictly, vintage refers to cars built between 1919 and 1930, classic covers the post-war decades, and retro is usually a modern car styled to look older.
Most couples searching for a vintage wedding car are picturing something from the 1950s or 1960s, which is exactly where our fleet sits. If you want a specific era for the album, tell us and we will point you at the right car.
Choosing the right car for your dress
- Full ballgown or a long train: the Jaguar Mark II, with wide rear doors and a high roofline
- Fitted or shorter dress: the Thunderbird or SL55 with the roof down, for a dramatic arrival
- A muscle car entrance: the 1964½ Mustang, and the sound arrives before you do
- Windy or coastal venue: think carefully before committing to roof down
What is included
- Ribbons in your colours and a freshly detailed car
- A suited chauffeur who knows the route
- Pick up from home, the ceremony and on to your reception
