Wedding Car Hire in Te Awamutu
Local to the Waipā, and a short run to anywhere in it. Te Awamutu weddings from $150 per hour.
Te Awamutu is home ground. Several of our scenic tours depart from here, which means the roads between the Rosetown, Kihikihi, Pirongia and Ōhaupō are ones we drive every week rather than ones we look up.
For a wedding that is worth more than it sounds. Short notice route changes, an extra trip back for a forgotten pair of shoes, or a photographer who wants the Pirongia foothills at golden hour are all easy when the driver already knows the way.

Small town weddings, done properly
A lot of Waipā weddings happen on family land: a marquee in a paddock, a ceremony under a tree that has been there longer than anyone at the wedding. Those are our favourite jobs and they are also the ones where transport is most often an afterthought.
Rural venues mean gravel, gates and no street lighting on the way home. Booking a chauffeur is as much about the logistics as it is about the photographs.

What Our Guests Say
Real Experiences From Classic Car Tours
5.05 Google reviews
“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.”

“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.”
