In Bordeaux, there are two of us to bring you the Voitures Passion adventure!
We’re Hubert and Pierre-Emmanuel, two entrepreneurs with a passion for classic cars.
Since childhood, lulled by the TV series of the 70s, fascinated by these unique objects that are classic cars, and wishing to live the same experience as our stars of the era John Steed in Chapeau melon et Bottes de cuir or Lord Brett Sinclair in Amicalement vôtre, it seemed only fitting to offer the experience of classic car rental through Voitures Passion.
From the manufacture of a grille to the roar of an engine, everything about classic cars impresses and fascinates us. For several years now, we’ve been living in the world of classic cars, guided by the desire to make these models of yesteryear accessible to as many people as possible.
Our mission is to help you choose the right vehicle for your event, and to let you take the wheel in complete safety.
Everything you need to know about renting a classic car in Bordeaux
Classic car pick-up takes place at our agency located at 24 cours du Chapeau Rouge, 33000 Bordeaux, right in the heart of the city. This central location provides quick access from Bordeaux’s main districts as well as nearby road networks. On site, each classic car is carefully prepared before departure, including full cleaning, mechanical checks, and a detailed presentation of the vehicle. A complete handover is carried out so you can fully enjoy your classic car rental.
Yes, classic car delivery is available in Bordeaux, Arcachon, and the surrounding areas. This service is particularly popular for weddings, private events, and tourist stays. Delivery rates depend on the distance traveled; we invite you to consult the detailed pricing directly on each vehicle page. Delivery includes the secure transport of the vehicle as well as key handover with a full presentation. It can be carried out at a private location, hotel, event venue, as well as at train stations and airports.
From our Bordeaux agency, classic cars are regularly made available throughout Gironde and more broadly across southwestern France. The service area extends from the Bordeaux vineyards to the Arcachon Bay, including wine regions and coastal areas. Some services are also provided beyond the local area for events, weddings, or specific projects. Each request is reviewed individually to adapt logistics to the location and type of service required.
Yes, classic car rental for weddings in Bordeaux is one of our most requested services. Our vehicles are frequently used for ceremonies, photo sessions, and the couple’s arrival at the reception venue. Cars can be rented for a full day or a weekend, with or without delivery, depending on your event organization. A Wedding Decoration option, priced at €49, is available to tailor the vehicle’s presentation for wedding use. Each wedding car rental is carefully prepared to ensure a flawless vehicle on the big day.
Classic car rental is subject to several conditions designed to ensure safety and service quality. The driver must hold a valid driving license for at least 7 years. A €3,500 security deposit (not debited) is required at vehicle handover. The rental includes professional insurance and a detailed vehicle inspection, carried out both at departure and return. All rental conditions are provided prior to booking to ensure full transparency.
Using a classic car for a few hours is possible, particularly for an event or photo shoot. However, pricing remains based on a 24-hour rental. This is due to the time required for vehicle preparation, temporary fleet immobilization, and cleaning and inspections carried out before and after each rental. This approach guarantees a consistent level of quality regardless of actual usage time.
Yes, classic cars can circulate freely, including within low-emission zones (ZFE) around Bordeaux and Arcachon. The vehicles offered comply with current regulations applicable to this type of use. This allows full access to city centers, tourist areas, and iconic roads without restriction. You can enjoy your classic car rental with complete peace of mind during your road trip or event.
It is not mandatory to book far in advance, as some classic car rentals can be confirmed up to 24 hours before the start date, subject to availability. However, early booking is strongly recommended, especially during high-demand periods. Vehicles are frequently reserved for weekends and weddings. Please note that free cancellation is only available up to 30 days before the rental begins. Booking early ensures greater choice and flexibility.
The price of a classic car rental for a wedding in Bordeaux mainly depends on the rental duration. Weekday rentals are based on a 24-hour rate, while weekend rentals correspond to 48 hours. These packages cover preparations, the wedding day, and, if needed, the following day. Prices may vary depending on the vehicle model selected and any optional services.
No special license is required to rent a classic car. A valid Category B driving license, or a valid international driving license, is sufficient, provided you meet the age and experience requirements specified at booking.
All our rentals include Altima comprehensive professional insurance, specifically designed for classic cars. This insurance covers the vehicle for the entire rental period and allows for up to two drivers. It provides full coverage for stress-free driving. Insurance details are explained in our Terms and Conditions.
