Classic car hire in Manchester and the North West
From Manchester and Salford out through Stockport, Altrincham, Wilmslow and the Cheshire villages, and north to Bolton, Bury and Preston, BookAclassic lists classic and vintage cars owned by private enthusiasts across the North West. Search by postcode to see which cars are available on your date, whether you want to drive one yourself or be driven in it.
Self-drive classic and convertible car hire
The North West is ideal self-drive country. Owners around Manchester list classic convertibles and sports cars for day and weekend hire, and within an hour you can be on the roads of the Peak District, the Cheshire plain, the Forest of Bowland or the Lake District. Each listing sets out the daily rate, mileage allowance, minimum age and licence requirements, and owners hand over with a walk-round and a briefing on how the car likes to be driven.

Chauffeured classics for weddings and occasions
For weddings, proms and celebrations, most owners offer chauffeured hire and will plan the route around your venue, whether that is a city-centre hotel, one of the Cheshire hall venues, Tatton Park or a Lake District wedding. The owner drives, stays with the car for the photographs and looks after the details on the day. Wedding car hire and prom car hire in Manchester each have their own page showing the cars available for those occasions.
Vintage car hire in Cheshire
Many of the region's classic car owners are based in Cheshire, around Knutsford, Macclesfield, Chester and Nantwich, and they cover Manchester, Warrington, Liverpool and North Wales as well. If your venue or your home is in Cheshire, searching from there often brings up cars that a Manchester city-centre search would not show.
How to book
Pick the car, send the owner a request with your date, times and pick-up point, and they will reply with availability and a confirmed price. Booking and payment are handled securely through BookAclassic. Summer Saturdays and the prom season are the busiest times, so enquire early for the most sought-after cars.
