Wedding Car Hire in Hamilton
Four iconic cars, a suited chauffeur and photo stops built in. Hamilton weddings from $150 per hour.
Hamilton weddings run on tight schedules and long distances. Ceremonies in the city, photos down by the river or in the Gardens, and a reception that is often a twenty minute drive out into the countryside.
We handle the whole run in a chauffeur-driven classic. You are collected from home, delivered to the ceremony, taken wherever your photographer wants you, and dropped at the reception without anyone in the wedding party having to think about parking or petrol.

Where we go in and around Hamilton
We cover the whole city and the rural fringe: Hamilton East and the riverside, Rototuna and the northern suburbs, Frankton, Dinsdale, Temple View, and out through Tamahere, Ōhaupō, Ngāruawāhia and Gordonton.
Most Hamilton couples book three hours, which comfortably covers the bride to the ceremony, a photo session and the transfer to the reception. If your reception is well out of town, four is the safer number.

Why couples book a classic rather than a limo
A limousine is transport. A 1955 Thunderbird is a character in your photographs. The cars are the reason people stop on the footpath and take pictures as you pull away, and they date the album in a way a modern car never will.
There is also a practical argument. A saloon like the Jaguar Mark II has wide rear doors and a high roofline, which makes getting in and out in a full skirt far easier than the low, long door of a stretch limo.

What Our Guests Say
Real Experiences From Classic Car Tours
“This Father's Day, my wife arranged something I'll never forget, a surprise ride with Classic Car Tours. Trevor arrived to collect me in a red Ford Thunderbird, a true gem of a classic, its glowing in the sunlight like something out of another era. Partway through our drive, Trevor surprised me again, pulling up in his Mercedes SL55 AMG, giving me my very first taste of what it feels like to be near a supercar in full flight. The roar of the engine, the smoothness of the ride, the sheer joy of the moment, it was an experience I'll carry with me for a long time. To any fellow car lover out there, I can't recommend this enough. It's not just about the cars, it's about the memories they help create.”
“Thank You Trevor 4 making My Mum's day, and allowing us to take a wee joyride with U.. Ruby, 1955 Thunderbird was an absolutely Beautiful little lady to ride in.. Thank you from both Mum and I for a memorable outing. I know she won't 4get it in a hurry 😊 Regards.. Becx & Rose”
“Trevor was a great person to meet he was awesome with my kids and had some great stories about his journeys, I would recommend Trevor any day.”
“Trevor from Classic Car Tours was fantastic! We booked him to take our son to his school ball. Trevor's communication was prompt and informative, and we were given a choice of two beautiful cars, our son chose the Jaguar. The car was absolutely stunning and Trevor arrived with plenty of time, giving our son and his partner lots of time to take photos. He was also more than happy to chat about the car, show them under the bonnet and answer all their questions. He even let them have a turn sitting in the driver's seat for photos, which was such a cool touch. Highly recommend Classic Car Tours!”
“Trevor was presented beautifully and professionally. His charisma and gentle approach made our son night. Our son loves classic cars and we had the absolute time of our lives. It also was great he had knowledge of the venues and was able to navigate that for us. I would highly recommend any service. You will not be disappointed. I even got to for a ride there's nothing more soothing then the sound of the muscle of the Mustang. We will be back for tour of the Mercedes. Thank you Trevor mate.”
