School Ball & Formal Car Hire
One entrance, one photo, one very good decision. Waikato school formals from $150.
The walk from the car to the door is about fifteen seconds long and it is the part everyone photographs. Arriving in a 1955 Thunderbird with the roof down makes those fifteen seconds count.
We run school ball and formal transport across the Waikato from $150. A suited chauffeur, a genuinely iconic car, and parents who do not have to spend the evening on call as a taxi service.

How it works
- Pick up from home, or from wherever the group photos are happening
- A suited chauffeur, not a mate with a licence
- Drop off at the venue door, timed so you arrive when you want to
- Photos with the car before you go in, as many as you like
- Up to 4 passengers per car, or book two for the group
A note for parents
Every driver is a professional and the cars are fully insured and maintained. We do the pick up and the drop off at agreed times and we will let you know when the drop off is done if you would like us to.
It also solves the logistics problem. Nobody has to drive, nobody has to park, and the photographs at the front door are a great deal better than the ones taken beside the family hatchback.

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.”

“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.”
