Classic Car Hire in the UK

Classic car hire means renting a vehicle that's typically 25 years or older. The definition stretches to cover any car with genuine character, rarity, or historical significance. Think Jaguar E-Types, vintage Bentleys, American muscle cars, pre-war tourers, iconic British sports cars, or even retro VW Camper Vans .

Unlike mainstream rental companies, Spoke Hire is a specialist in classic car hire and we are a peer-to-peer business. The cars you browse here are owned and cared for by private individuals; enthusiasts, collectors, and restorers, which means you get access to vehicles you simply won't find anywhere else.

Pricing varies significantly depending on the vehicle, duration, location, and how the car is being used. A general guide to how much it costs to hire a classic car:

Weddings
Most owners charge a half-day or full-day rate, typically ranging from £300 to £1,500+ depending on the vehicle's rarity and any chauffeur or travel requirements.

Film and photoshoots
Day rates are common. Budget from £150 to £600+ per day for most vehicles; rare or concours-condition cars command more.

Self-drive hire
Where available, day rates typically start around £200 and rise steeply for high-value or high-performance vehicles.

There are no platform booking fees charged to hirers on Spoke Hire. The price agreed with the owner is the price you pay.
