We hired Chris's classic Mercedes-Benz through BookAclassic for our son's matric dance in Paarl, and it was worth every rand. From the first email Chris was easy to deal with — quick, clear and flexible on timing, and he offered to let us leave our own car safely on his property in Camps Bay while we had the Mercedes. The car itself was immaculate and turned heads the whole evening; our son arrived in style and the photos are something the family will keep forever. Collection at 07:30 was seamless and the whole experience felt personal rather than like a rental. If you want a special car for a special day, this is the one to book. Thank you, Chris! — Leon Nortier
