Pick your type
Pre-War (before 1942) →
Model A Fords, Packards, early Lincolns
Years 1908-1941
Driving it
Mechanical cable-and-rod brakes, no power steering and no AC — the host walks you through it before you drive.
Post-War (1946-1959) →
First Airstreams, woody wagons, Studebakers
Years 1946-1959
Driving it
Drum brakes front and rear — stopping from 60 mph takes roughly 30% more road than a modern car.
Muscle Era (1960s-1970s) →
Mustangs, Corvettes, GTOs, VW Westfalias
Years 1960-1979
Driving it
Big-block V8s run 6-10 mpg on the highway, and the four-speed manuals were built before power steering was standard.
Modern Classic (1980s-1990s) →
Vanagons, GMC Motorhomes, Airstream Sovereigns
Years 1980-1999
Driving it
Power steering, power brakes, AC and fuel injection on most — this is the era that drives closest to a current car.
Who rents this
Classic touring is for travelers who care as much about the vehicle as the destination. PickRV's classic tier features restored vintage Volkswagen campers, classic Airstream trailers like the Bambi and Globetrotter, and period Westfalia vans — the rigs that built American road-trip culture. These rentals suit collectors, photographers, wedding and film shoots, and travelers heading to vintage car shows or music festivals where a classic profile is part of the story. Because older vehicles need honest expectations, every classic listing states its restoration grade — from fully restored to original survivor — and spells out maintenance and breakdown coverage at booking, so you know what happens if something needs attention on the road. These are slower, more deliberate machines, not high-mileage haulers. Renters pay one transparent 10% service fee at checkout plus tax, with no drip pricing, and cancellation is free for 48 hours.
