Classics for City Hall weddings, supercars for the bridge and wine tour cars for the harvest: the cars you can book across the Bay Area.
On this page
The San Francisco Bay Area is concours country. The Hillsborough Concours has run since 1956, Pebble Beach crowns its Best of Show every August, and Danville’s Blackhawk Museum keeps about 90 rare cars on display. It’s also a region of grand settings, from the dome of San Francisco City Hall to the vineyards of Napa, which makes it a wonderful place to book something special. This guide covers the classics, Rolls-Royces, supercars, sports cars, wine tour cars, limos and party buses you can book across the Bay Area. Every car shown is real, and the lists update themselves as new cars join.

Classic cars in concours country
The Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, held since 1950, closes Monterey Car Week every August on the 18th fairway. Closer to the city, the Hillsborough Concours d’Elegance at Crystal Springs Golf Course in Burlingame has run since 1956 and is billed as the world’s longest continually running concours. The Blackhawk Museum in Danville, opened in 1988 and a Smithsonian Affiliate, is the place to see rare cars up close. To ride in one yourself, a 1960s classic is a joy on a clear day; our 1960s cars guide covers the decade. In the East Bay, you can rent a classic car in Walnut Creek, a short drive from the museum.

Wedding cars in San Francisco and the Bay Area
San Francisco City Hall, completed in 1915 to Arthur Brown Jr.’s design, hosts weddings in the Rotunda beneath its great dome, and a vintage car waiting outside completes the picture. The Palace of Fine Arts, Bernard Maybeck’s palace for the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition, rebuilt in the 1960s, is a classic backdrop for photos. On Nob Hill, the Fairmont was gutted by the 1906 fire before it could open, was restored under Julia Morgan and opened in 1907. And the Golden Gate Bridge, opened in May 1937, is the shot everyone wants. See our getaway car guide for the send-off.
