RNG Classics

What RNG Classics does

RNG Classics is a UK private limited company founded in 2020 by Robert Gillison, headquartered in Bletchingley within the Surrey Hills. It operates as an independent classic and modern-classic car hire business, curating a fleet of more than twenty vehicles spanning the 1960s through the early 2000s across marques including Jaguar, Porsche, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Rolls Royce, Ford Mustang, Daimler, Lotus, Austin Healey, Alfa Romeo, Pontiac, Mercedes, Saab, and Triumph. The business offers self-drive and chauffeur-driven hire, packaged experiences (notably a Dunsfold Aerodrome/Top Gear track road trip from £600 per person), wedding car hire with decoration, film and media vehicle supply, brand activation hire, gift vouchers from £249, classic car sourcing, and an RNG Club membership programme.

The underlying operational capability is the maintenance and presentation of a diverse, roadworthy classic fleet, with vehicles described as meticulously preserved in originality and serviced by leading automotive professionals; the fleet includes what the company states is the only Shelby GT40 (Superformance 7-litre V8 recreation) available for hire in the UK or Europe. Pricing is quote-based rather than publicly listed, with daily rentals including comprehensive insurance, AA Business breakdown cover, 100 daily miles, a 20-minute handover, security deposits of £1,000-£2,500 depending on vehicle, and additional mileage at £3 per mile; delivery and collection costs £199-£249 within the Home Counties and London.

Go-to-market is predominantly direct-to-consumer via the rngclassics.com website, supported by phone (020 8226 0308, 0777 9793509) and email ([email protected]), with location-specific SEO landing pages across Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Essex, Brighton, Lewes, Hampshire, Berkshire, Cotswolds, and London, and social presence on Instagram (@rngclassics). Target segments include wedding couples, special-occasion experience seekers (birthdays, anniversaries, engagements), film and media production companies, corporate brand clients, and classic car collectors; service coverage is restricted to England, excluding Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Revenue is generated from one-off rentals, gift voucher pre-payments, subscription-style RNG Club membership, sourcing fees, and delivery/collection fees, with no public revenue, headcount, or funding disclosure.

Direct peers

• Everyman Racing: UK supercar and track-day experience operator with self-drive packages and curated driving itineraries. Comparable to RNG Classics' Dunsfold and road-trip experience products on business model and enthusiast customer base.
• Heritage Classic Cars: UK classic car hire company providing self-drive and chauffeur-driven vintage vehicles for weddings, tours, and events. Closely mirrors RNG Classics' service model across an overlapping fleet of British and European classics.
• Phantom Rolls Royce Hire: Specialist UK wedding car hire operator focused on Rolls Royce and luxury classics with chauffeur services. Comparable to RNG Classics on the wedding segment but with a narrower fleet emphasis on chauffeured rather than self-drive experiences.
• Classic Car Hire (UK): A UK-based classic and vintage car hire operator offering self-drive rental of marques including Jaguar, Rolls Royce, and Aston Martin for weddings and special occasions. Directly comparable to RNG Classics in product, target customer (wedding couples, experience seekers), and UK geographic focus.
• Cloud 9 Supercar Hire: UK self-drive luxury and supercar rental company offering experience days and short-term hire. Comparable in business model (self-drive exotic rental) and experiential positioning, though with a younger, non-classic fleet.
• Regency Wedding Cars: UK-based wedding car hire provider offering a multi-vehicle fleet of classics and modern luxury cars. Competes directly with RNG Classics for wedding bookings across southern England with a comparable chauffeur-driven service model.
• Bramley Classic Cars: British classic and vintage car hire operator covering weddings, film work, and private hire with a curated multi-marque fleet. Directly comparable service mix and target customer base to RNG Classics.
• Templar Classic Wedding Cars: UK classic car hire specialist for weddings, anniversaries, and special events offering chauffeured vintage vehicles. Overlaps directly with RNG Classics on the wedding segment in southern England.

Emerging players

• Drive The Nation: UK-based exotic and luxury car rental platform aggregating multiple operators. Comparable as a competing booking channel for the same high-end self-drive customer, though broader in vehicle category.

Broad incumbents

• Enterprise Rent-A-Car (Exotic Car Collection): Large multinational rental operator with a specialty exotic/luxury car division offering premium and classic vehicles. Comparable only at the broad 'exotic car rental' category level; lacks RNG Classics' classic-specialist positioning and curated single-marque depth.
