We rented a Porsche Speedster as I can't afford the real thing. Carly was our contact out of the Portola location. She was great. She is a real car girl and it was fun talking cars with her. She went through a checklist of things with the car and we were ready to roll. Cannery Row, Pacific Grove and all along the coastline with the top down. It doesn't get better than this! Finishing up in Carmel for lunch and getting lots of looks and attention made us smile. Once back, we told Carly of our journey and she showed us all the other cars for our next trip. You can't beat this experience for the price and the memories will never go away. Thank you Monterey Touring Vehicles and a great BIG thank you to Carly!!!! read more

We had such an amazing experience! We rented the Stingray for my birthday & did the 17 mile drive to Carmel. The car was a beauty & was a smooth drive. Definitely worth the price for the experience! read more

We rented a classic Firebird convertible for our wedding anniversary, and it made the day even more special. Everyone we worked with was friendly, professional, and very accommodating. We ended up needing the car for an extra two hours, and they made the extension completely hassle-free. The whole experience was easy and enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommend! read more

Awesome! From checking in to returning the car, everything was perfect! We went with the pink 61 Cadillac, and it was so much fun driving 17 Mile Drive and to Big Sur. The top down, playing oldies and reminiscing about simpler times. Great way to celebrate my husband's 80th birthday! Jeff was amazing, they have drive-in nights at their location, check it out. We will be back for the T-bird next time! Just do it! read more

We had an excellent experience with Monterey touring vehicles we rented a Chevy Belair convertible that was beautiful in teal and drove it to our wedding venue after our first look this summer. We received ample customer Service in detail on how to drive the vehicle and it made for excellent wedding photos and also our wedding video for a big day. My only concern was that there was a tough tone from the customer service representative. I had called to let them know that their online portal had undercharged me about $200 plus and That I owed them more money, and a customer service representative did help collect that money, but was not easy to talk to about the whole situation and spoke down to me with her words and tone. I called twice more before our wedding and believe I received the same representative and the same tone each time. This company is the best in the business, and I do highly recommend utilizing them!! read more

I was out for a stroll in Carmel with my hubby. He loves classic cars and worked as a new engineer (a few decades ago) at the Dearborn plant -all Ford products -what a great experience for him. But it was me that was speechless as we walked by the GORGEOUS '55 T-bird, so classic, beautifully maintained, ready to go for a ride!! Wow. This is the perfect BD surprise for him! He would never expect it... unless he reads my YELP!! read more

What a great experience! We chose a 69' Firebird 400 which we drove to Carmel, where we picked up burritos for a picnic along Hwy 1 near Big Sur. The car was a great cruiser on the highway and it seemed in great mechanical condition. We got lots of looks and compliments during our trip. Jenna was the badass hostess who hooked us up with 2 1/2 hours for a two hour rate. Her and Jeff had superb hospitality and we'll be returning every year for sure.This was a top experience during our trip, highly recommended! read more

We had such fun on the scavenger hunt driving the Porsche speedster. We have also rented a BelAir just for a fun nostalgic ride around town. The people at Monterey Touring Vehicles are always helpful and very easy to work with. They also have great organizational skills and are lots of fun! We plan to join in on the next event and rent more vintage cars in the future. read more

We recently took advantage of one of MTE's newest attractions, that being the new audio tours they offer! We drove the coast on down the 17 mile drive on a guided tour of the area and attractions! Incredibly simple platform, no learning curve of any kind, and we did it in a ridiculously cool old corvette. The fact that they now offer audio tours is very clever. We've actually taken a couple audio tours in Carmel and Monterey and I gotta tell you, this one is the best! read more

What is cooler than cruisin' through the nicest coastline in the country for the first time in a classic slice of Americana? Not much. Really enjoyed our experience with MTV. The whole crew was super helpful and thoughtful - from booking, to pickup, to suggestions on routes and restaurants. They even offered us blankets and beanies if there was too much wind in our hair -- there wasn't :) Oh, I also love how gas and cleaning (though you better not dare dirty up these bad boys) are included. Never fun when you have to refill after a rental. All in all, I can't recommend a better way to experience Monterey and Big Sur. Perfect from start to finish. read more

We had the most incredible day taking out the turquoise '54 Chevy Bel Air convertible along the 17 Mile Drive to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary. The car ran great and we got lots of waves from strangers as we drove along the coast. We did a half day rental (four hours) and that was perfect. The staff at Monterey Touring Vehicles was so friendly to us and explained all of the features of the car before we hit the road, making us feel extremely comfortable. I could not recommend this experience more! Photos by Lauren Feddersen: https://www.laurenfeddersenphotography.com/ read more

This is truly amazing company. We rented the Corvette with my wife back in June. I nearly cried; it was such a rare opportunity. I'm very grateful that such a rental company exists.

Believe it or not, what you guys do creates lifelong memories. read more

Surprise a loved one with a fun car experience! I rented a Cobra for my husband to surprise him for his bday. He loved it and it was so fun for me too! We drove this beautiful car down 17 mile drive and. Into Big Sur. Heads turned as we drove by and many people stopped to look or comment on the car. So fun! Everything about the process was smooth and easy. They spent a lot of time with us before we left making sure we knew everything we needed to know. Thank you Monterey Touring for helping me check off a life goal for my hubby! read more

We rented the 1965 Shelby Cobra for four hours and had a wonderful time driving along the 17 mile drive and the Bixby bridge. The car was in mint condition and purred and roared just like you would imagine a sports performance muscle car would. The booking online was very easy. Make sure you have a copy of your drivers license and car insurance handy that specifies the amount of coverage you have. The young man who helped us was clearly dedicated and passionate about his job. The owner was also there and was friendly too. On the day we rented there was absolutely no wait or red tape, which was greatly appreciated. This was an amazing experience. Seeing the collection of other cars available only made us want to return! read more

MTV, was fantastic. We got married in Carmel by the Sea in Oct 2024 and we rented the 1938 Rolls Royce for our special day. The car was exactly as promised, the driver was great and punctual. The process from start to finish was easy. We could not be happier with our experience. . read more

Used these for a company event. Very awesome! We got a few of the classic muscle cars. Super fun to drive along the coast. Very fun day.

My fiancé and I planned a photoshoot in Carmel on Mother's Day, 2024. At the time of pick up, the agent was super nice and also gave us the option to drop the vehicle off after hours, since it was an evening shoot. He explained that we would need to call Heather, the owner of this shop, to open the garage and we may park the car and leave once finished. We arrived back to the shop at 7:30pm. We called Heather over 30 times to answer, on top of countless text messages. Not only did we have to wait for almost an hour to get any response from her, we had dinner reservations in honor of Mother's Day. All of which was missed due to waiting for Heather to respond. My fiancé and I were so lost on what to do, so we decided to lock up the vehicle, park it in their parking lot, take a video that it was locked and in the same condition we returned it in, and planned to keep the keys until Heather decided to call. It was already 8:30pm at this point and I don't know about you, but that's not how I wanted to spend my time in Carmel. As soon as we were leaving, Heather decided to finally call me back and stated that her staff didn't tell her there would be an after hours return. While being very frustrated, hungry after a long photoshoot, and missing dinner plans, I had every right to be upset. Heathers attitude was disrespectful, nasty, and she had absolutely no empathy for the situation and practically made it seem it was our fault for this situation. Can someone please tell me how that is my fault? She never apologized. Not sure if she understands English or not, but she was highly confused with what was going on after saying to her multiple times that "WE HAVE BEEN PARKED IN YOUR PARKING LOT WITH THE VEHICLE AND YOU HAVE NOT ANSWERED YOUR PHONE TO OPEN THE GARAGE AND THAT WE WERE ABOUT TO LEAVE". My fiancé STILL offered to wait and said she can open the garage and I can park it inside. She continued to be condescending and advised to "please leave the car where it's at and I'm coming" and made it appear we were stealing her vehicle and kept stating that she was "confused" as to where the car was. I'm confusing myself writing this, that's how astonished I am. This situation makes me laugh because I don't know how an owner, better yet a company thats at fault, could treat their customers this way. No empathy, no acknowledgment. I NEVER write a review on yelp, but I've never experienced an owner of a company speaking this way. Business owner to business owner, Heather please fix your attitude and show some empathy. You never know what someone on the other line may be experiencing, why Mother's Day is special to them, or the fact they were sitting in a vehicle for over an hour with a vehicle that's not theirs and have no idea what to do in a situation like that. If I could do zero stars, I would. read more

Wow! Rented the 68 Camera and it was AMAZING! Made our trip to Monterey that much more enjoyable cruising along the coast with the top down in a classic beauty!

Yesterday we rented the 1955 Ford Thunderbird, it was a last minute idea, although I have been following them for years on Instagram. It just felt like a perfect day for a drive. I called and talked to Shawn and discussed many of the options they had, there was so many cool cars but I was just so drawn to the yellow T-bird. We picked it up around 2 pm and drove down. The coast. Everything about this car was amazing, after about 10mins behind the wheel o got really comfortable again with it's vintage ways, from the drum brakes to the steering. It was a perfect days for a winter drive, nice amount of chill in the air but plenty of sun to keep us warm. The seating position was fantastic, like sitting on a comfy couch with your loved one. This was such a fun experience and we will definitely be doing this again next time we come down. I also love the informal aspect of just popping in and taking a car out for a hour or so. I'm almost tempted to get another car tomorrow! Thank you MTV for a amazing day with your beautiful T-bird read more

I had a wonderful and easy process getting a car from Monterey Touring Vehicles during the festival I was hosting! I even got some great photos with me and the cars. The staff and management team are excellent and were so accommodating. I rented two days in a row and got two different cars. A 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible and a 1954 Chevy Bel Air Convertible. Both cars were comfortable and in perfect shape! It was pretty surreal being in them! I'd definitely rent again with them. If you have a chance, stop by their warehouse location- it's decked out to look vintage just like the cars! It even has a retro diner sitting area. read more

This rental shop is awesome! We eloped on May 12, 2021 and we rented the red Porsche speedster for the day and loved it! They were great with answering questions. Upon pick-up, they go over all the intricacies of the car and have you test drive it to ensure your comfortable with it. We loved driving around and getting so many compliments on the car and congratulations for getting married. Totally added to the special feeling of the day. read more
