Great experience !

Great experience with first rate communication. I contacted via the web site over a weekend with a very short notice request, and they got back to me almost immediately with always timely responses. Very impressive.

Outstanding Experience

Wow! What a special few days we had with the Mercedes 500SL. Rob was an absolute pleasure to work with - super responsive, knowledgeable and flexible. He clearly really cares about his cars - the Mercedes was in fantastic condition and solid as a rock to drive. Rob - thank you for helping create an experience for my Mum and I that we will sincerely cherish forever.

Excellent car, excellent service

We hired the Mustang for my partner's birthday, stunning car! Everything we could have wished for. The service was amazing especially when we had to change our plans at the last minute. Robbie was very flexible and accommodating. I can't recommend RNG too highly!

An exceptional experience from start to finish.

I can’t recommend RNG Classics highly enough. From the moment we booked, Robbie was absolutely brilliant—professional, friendly, and always on call whenever we needed anything. The range of classic car options available is outstanding, making it easy to find something truly special for our shoot.

We spent the day with their Mercedes 500SL, and it was faultless. The car was immaculate, drove beautifully, and elevated the entire photoshoot experience. Everything ran smoothly, allowing us to focus fully on the creative side and enjoy the day.

If you’re looking for a vintage car hire company that genuinely cares about quality, service, and the overall experience, RNG Classics is in a league of its own.

Mercedes 500SL AMAZING

I hired a car from RNG Classics for my wedding and the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. I originally wanted a Porsche 356 Speedster, but due to very poor weather conditions I was advised to switch to a Mercedes 500SL. I’m so glad I took their advice — the car was absolutely beautiful and perfect for the day.

The service, communication, and professionalism were outstanding throughout. Everything was handled smoothly, and it really helped take the stress out of the day. I was extremely happy and pleased with both the car and the overall experience. I would highly recommend RNG Classics to anyone looking for a special car and first-class service from Robbie.

The car itself was beautiful, poor service thereafter.

The car itself was beautiful, although had a broken speedometer but that's understandable given the age. I have seen cars of the same age better maintained however.

The reason for the low score was the communication and post-drive experience was dreadful trying to get the deposit back. Expect to wait over a month and have money taken off for "admin".

Reply from RNG Classics - Self drive classic cars

We appreciate your feedback Clara.

Unfortunately the speedo cable had twisted in the hire just before you, and there was no time to rectify. We did flag the possibility of a potential speedo issue. As you say, older cars have their quirks for sure!

You read, understood and agreed our terms in writing. It clearly states that all security / damage deposits are returned 28 working days after hire assuming no fines, charges, tolls or damage. So by our reckoning that's over a month. Either you read and agreed them and now dispute that, or you agreed them without reading. One of the two...

The admin cost (card handling charge) again in the terms you read and agreed in writing very transparently tell you that a card charge will be deducted for that deposit at the end of the hire. So again you either read and agreed, or you didn't read at all and agreed anyway...
Proof as with all things in life, you can't please all the people all of the time!

Amazing cars and fantastic service

I rented the ‘66 mustang for a few days and absolutely loved it. Robbie was extremely helpful, flexible and always available to answer my many questions!
Will definitely be back to try some days with some of the other amazing cars.

I hired the BMW M3 E46 Convertible from RNG Classics and genuinely had one of the best days I’ve had in ages. I took it out to a car event and the drive alone was worth it! Everything you’d expect from the car.

From start to finish, the service at RNG Classics was perfect. Booking was easy, communication was clear, and the whole process felt effortless. You can tell they really care about their cars and their customers.

If you’re thinking about hiring something special, I can’t recommend RNG Classics enough. The M3 E46 Convertible was a dream, and the team made the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be back!

We had an incredible experience with RNG Classic Cars! We drove the DB9 Aston Martin, and it was absolutely unforgettable—smooth, powerful, and everything we hoped for. Robbie provided first-class customer service from start to finish. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole process feel effortless. You can really tell he’s passionate about what he does.
If you’re looking for a top-tier driving experience with outstanding customer care, RNG Classic Cars is the place to go. Highly recommended

Exceptional service and unforgettable experience — made the perfect wedding surprise come true!

I cannot thank RNG Classics and Robbie enough for helping me plan the most incredible surprise for my fiancé during our wedding weekend to drive his absolute dream car - an Aston Martin. From start to finish, Robbie went above and beyond to make the experience seamless and truly special.

The car was immaculate and in perfect condition, and Robbie’s professionalism, communication, and attention to detail were outstanding. He handled every aspect with such care, from the delivery to timing coordination, making the whole experience stress-free and elegant.

If you’re looking for a luxury car rental that delivers both impeccable service and unforgettable moments, look no further. RNG Classics turned a dream into reality and added the most exciting, personal touch to our wedding weekend!

My Dad’s 70th birthday….

I hired a 1987 MKII Golf Gti convertible from RNG for my Dad’s 70th as an alternative to something more modern and the experience didn’t disappoint.

Great comms throughout, helped me figure out a few logistical issues as drove the car from Surrey to Scottish Borders then did a 2 day tour of Scotland including Loch Lomond, Glencoe and the Cairngorms then drove it back to Surrey on an 11.5hr driving day and the car didn’t miss a beat.

Unreal experience and one, me and my Dad will never forget - thank you Robbie and will be in touch soon about the M3!!

10/10 service - will be using you again!

I'm a wedding planner and booked Robbie's blue Rolls Royce Silver Shadow S2 along with a driver, Nev, for a wedding a Kew.

Extremely happy with the service from start to finish - clear, quick communication including a group call before the wedding to ensure we were all clear on timings and locations, and a whatsapp group on the day of the wedding in case needed, too.

Nev was a dream for the couple - true gentleman, perfectly on time, helped resolve some issues at the hotel, too.

Would not hesitate to recommend!

Superb service start to finish

Robbie was a total star from start to finish.

With an extremely last minute request, with only 2 hours to arrange a vintage car to be delivered to Brighton private airport, everything was seamless.

My VIP Client was thrilled, and the communication throughout the service was superb.

Couldn't recommend RNG Classics more highly.

Robbie with RNG was fantastic to work with. We rented the 68' beetle while vacationing the UK from the states for a week. The car was a ton of fun and very reliable. Robbie's quick to respond and made the experience enjoyable. I recommend RNG to anyone looking to rent something cool!
