Classic car rental in Havana:

Touring cars with 5 seats or more arrived in Havana at the end of the 19th century, brought by the Cuban and foreign upper class. They became a symbol of status and wealth, and were used to travel in and around the city.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the automotive industry developed rapidly in Cuba, and passenger cars with 5 seats or more became more common. American, European and Japanese brands were imported, and Cuban cars were manufactured in local factories.

In the 1950s, Havana had one of the largest car fleets in Latin America. 5-seat or larger commuter cars were an integral part of the urban landscape, used for everything from commuting to work to parties.

The Cuban Revolution of 1959 changed the history of cars in Cuba. The Cuban government nationalized the automotive industry, and imports of new cars stopped. This led to a rise in the popularity of classic cars, which were kept running thanks to an ingenious system of repair and maintenance.

Today, 5-seat or larger touring cars are an iconic part of Havana culture. They are used for tourist tours, weddings and other special events. They are also a source of pride for Cubans, who see them as a symbol of their country’s history and culture.
