About San Diego Classic Car Rentals

Founded by Mike Gamino, San Diego Classic Car Rentals offers more than rentals—we provide the thrill of driving iconic vintage vehicles and creating unforgettable memories on the open road.

Your Classic Car Experience Starts Here

At San Diego Classic Car Rentals, we’re more than just a rental company — we’re curators of automotive nostalgia. Our mission is to bring the golden era of American muscle back to life, one unforgettable ride at a time.

Born from a passion for vintage cars and the open road, our business is built around offering guests the rare opportunity to drive some of the most iconic classics ever made — all set against the backdrop of San Diego’s breathtaking coastlines, vibrant neighborhoods, and scenic highways.

Why We Do It

There’s something truly special about the rumble of a vintage V8 engine, the polished chrome details, and the feeling of cruising in a piece of automotive history. We believe these experiences shouldn’t be locked away in museums or garages — they should be shared, driven, and remembered.

Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, surprising a loved one, planning a photo shoot, or simply checking off a bucket-list drive, our goal is to make it effortless and memorable.

  • Handpicked Classics: Our fleet includes fully restored and meticulously maintained vehicles that look and drive like a dream.

  • White-Glove Delivery: We offer free delivery within a 20-mile radius of San Diego International Airport— right to your doorstep or chosen location.
