Discover the Pays de la Loire region for a day or a weekend!
Nantes is an ideal starting point for exploring the Loire Valley and the Atlantic coast in a classic car. Close to the Muscadet vineyards, the Brière marshlands, and the scenic routes leading to La Baule and Pornic, renting a classic car in Nantes offers an authentic driving experience shaped by rivers, vineyards, coastline, and a rich cultural heritage.
Trained as an engineer, my interest in the automotive field has never left me, from my early childhood right through to the projects I carried out as part of my studies, when I was lucky enough to work for a motorsport team.
My passion for classic cars came late in life and was a real revelation!
When I was 35, I rented two convertibles from Voitures Passion during a trip to the Lubéron region, and I literally fell in love with these vintage cars, where every detail takes us back to the past. Inside, all our senses are stimulated: the sound of the engine, the unique smell of each car, the beauty of the unrivalled design of cars from the 60s to the 80s.
That’s when I decided to take the plunge and open a Voitures Passion agency in Nantes, thus fulfilling my entrepreneurial desires while developing a business I’m passionate about.
Everything you need to know about renting a classic car in Nantes
Classic car pick-up takes place at our agency located at 14 rue Sainte-Anne du Vigneau, 44680 Saint-Mars-de-Coutais, around 30 minutes southwest of Nantes. This location offers smooth access from the Nantes metropolitan area and the main road networks. On site, each classic car is carefully prepared before departure, including thorough cleaning, mechanical checks, and a detailed presentation. A full handover is carried out so you can fully enjoy your classic car rental.
Yes, classic car delivery is available in Nantes, Angers, 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 the Nantes agency, classic cars are regularly made available throughout western France. The service area extends from the Nantes region to emblematic Loire Valley destinations, including vineyards and wine-producing areas. Some services are provided beyond the local area, particularly for events, weddings, or specific projects. Each request is reviewed individually to adapt logistics to the location and type of service.
Yes, classic car rental for weddings in Nantes is one of our most requested services. Our cars are frequently used for ceremonies, photo sessions, and wedding arrivals at the reception venue. Vehicles can be rented for a full day or a weekend, with or without delivery, depending on your event organization. A Wedding Decoration option is available for €49 to adapt the vehicle’s presentation for a wedding. Each wedding rental is prepared with great care to ensure a flawless vehicle on the day.
Rental is subject to several conditions designed to ensure safety and quality. The driver must hold a valid driving license for at least 7 years. A €3,500 bank deposit (not debited) is required at vehicle pick-up. The rental includes professional insurance and a detailed vehicle inspection. All rental conditions are communicated in advance to ensure full transparency.
It is possible to use a classic car for only a few hours, particularly for an event or a photo shoot. However, pricing remains based on a 24-hour rental. This is due to the time required for vehicle preparation, its temporary removal from the fleet, and the cleaning and checks carried out before and after each rental. This ensures a consistently high level of quality, regardless of usage duration.
Yes, classic cars can circulate freely, including within low-emission zones (LEZ) around Nantes and Angers. The vehicles offered comply with current regulations for this type of use. This allows full access to city centers, tourist areas, and emblematic routes without restriction. You can therefore drive with complete peace of mind during your experience.
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. However, advance booking is strongly recommended during peak periods. Vehicles are often in high demand, especially for weekends and weddings. Please note that free cancellation is only available up to 30 days before the rental start date.
The price of a classic car rental for a wedding in Nantes mainly depends on the rental duration. Weekday rentals are based on a 24-hour rate, while weekend rentals correspond to 48 hours. These options cover preparation, the wedding day, and potentially the following day. Prices may vary depending on the model selected and 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 the age and experience requirements specified at booking are met.
All our rentals include comprehensive professional insurance Altima, specifically designed for classic cars. This insurance covers the vehicle for the full duration of the rental and allows up to two drivers. It provides complete protection so you can drive with confidence. Coverage details are explained in our terms and conditions.
