Classic car hire on this page means a 1965 Ford Mustang convertible for the day, a Jaguar E-Type in Sydney or a chauffeur-driven cruise through wine country. Some hire days are self-drive with 200km of travel included, and others put you in the back seat of a restored Mustang, Cadillac or Morris Minor while someone else navigates the roads.
A 24-hour hire of a 1965 Ford Mustang convertible from Moorabbin gives you time for the Great Ocean Road. If you'd rather not drive, a chauffeur in a 1973 Cadillac Eldorado takes you around the Swan Valley instead. The same page has a Jaguar E-Type in Sydney, a Shelby GT500 along Sydney's coast, and a Brisbane cruise past the Story Bridge.
Every Melbourne car departs from Moorabbin, about 15 minutes from the city, and the Mustangs are automatic with an electric roof. The weekend 1965 Mustang convertible self-drive gives you 24 hours with storage for your own car while you're away. For a shorter day, the 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible Car Hire covers six hours, and the midweek GT500 Mustang self-drive brings a V8 engine.
The 1968 Jaguar E Type Full Day Car Hire - Sydney is a manual with 200km included, collected from Lane Cove, and it needs 10 or more days' notice. The 1970 MGB Roadster Full Day Hire is a manual roadster for the driver and one passenger.
If you'd like a driver, the Shelby GT500 Mustang Experience collects you within 10km of Brighton Le Sands, and the Mustang Ride and Coffee Stop heads to La Perouse, Bondi or Coogee with a stop at an award-winning cafe.
The 1965 Ford Mustang GT350 Mountain Cruise leaves Kangaroo Point and passes the Story Bridge, Mt Coot-tha and Fortitude Valley with a coffee stop, fuel and tolls included. The Classic Mustang Cruise with Wine Tasting at Sirromet takes a restored 1960s Mustang to a cellar door in Mt Cotton, and the Classic 1965 Ford Mustang Full Day Car Hire hands you the keys for a day.
Further out, the Full Day Wine & Food Tour of Granite Belt in Vintage Car puts two people in a 1960 Morris Minor for a tour of up to six hours, with lunch at Ballandean Estate, Varias Restaurant or a gourmet picnic.
In Perth, the 1966 Mustang Coupe Full Day Car Hire and the 1969 Mustang Convertible Full Day Car Hire are automatics with insurance and 200km of travel. In the Swan Valley, a chauffeur drives: the Swan Valley 1970 Ford Mustang Tour visits wineries, breweries and produce venues, and the 1973 Cadillac Convertible Swan Valley Tour adds honey, chocolate and ciders to the tastings.
The Explore Barossa Valley in a Ford Mustang is a 1966 Mustang with a Barossa local at the wheel, and you choose the cellar doors. In Far North Queensland, the 1965 White Convertible Mustang Chauffeur is set up for weddings and formal occasions. On the Bellarine Peninsula, the 1974 Volkswagen Kombi Hire comes with a picnic rug and cooler bag.
A day in a 1965 Mustang gives a car lover a story, with photos from the Great Ocean Road or a cellar door in the Swan Valley. Self-drive hire suits someone who wants the wheel, and the chauffeured tours suit someone who'd rather taste wine than watch the road.
If you don't know which city or car they'd choose, a RedBalloon gift voucher is valid for five years and lets them pick. Some hires need notice, such as the Jaguar E-Type, which asks for 10 or more days.
Self-drive hire needs a full licence, photo identification and a signed contract of hire, and a security deposit is held on a credit or debit card while you have the car. The 1965 Mustang convertible 24-hour hire in Melbourne is for sealed roads only. Chauffeured experiences skip all of that, because the driver and the route come with the booking.
Yes, each city has full-day hire. Sydney has the Jaguar E-Type and an MGB roadster, Brisbane has a 1965 Mustang that seats the driver and three passengers, and Perth has a 1966 Mustang Coupe and a 1969 Mustang Convertible. The Perth hire comes with insurance and 200km of travel, and you can find details in the 1966 Mustang coupe hire in Perth.
The minimum age for the Mustang hires in Melbourne, the Perth hires and the Jaguar E-Type is 25. The MGB Roadster in Sydney drops that to 21. For the Jaguar and MGB, drivers also can't have more than four driving offences or three accidents in the last five years.
Yes, in Far North Queensland. The white 1965 Mustang convertible with a chauffeur is listed for weddings and formal services, takes up to four passengers and picks up from Cairns, Port Douglas, Kuranda, Mareeba, Atherton, Innisfail and more.
Pick self-drive for time at the wheel. Hires like the Jaguar E Type full-day hire include 200km, so you plan the route. Pick a chauffeured car if you want to taste wine or see a city. The Sirromet wine tasting cruise and the Swan Valley tours have the driver handle the roads, and you can browse wine tasting and winery tours for more.
It varies by car. The Perth Mustang hires take the driver and up to four passengers, the Brisbane 1965 Mustang takes the driver and up to three, and the MGB Roadster takes the driver and one passenger. The 1973 Cadillac Swan Valley tour takes up to five, and the Kombi seats up to eight.
Yes, it gives them a day behind the wheel of something they'd rarely drive. The 1969 MGB roadster hire in Sydney suits someone who likes a manual gearbox, and the Mustang convertibles suit anyone who wants an automatic. More ideas are on the car enthusiast page.
The Melbourne Mustangs are automatics with power steering and power brakes, so they drive much like a modern car. The Jaguar E-Type and MGB Roadster in Sydney have manual gearboxes, which suit drivers who are used to changing gears. If you'd rather not drive at all, a chauffeured tour such as the Shelby GT500 Mustang ride in Sydney puts someone else at the wheel.
