Unique Chauffeured transport for your Wedding or special event. 

Back in 2002 the option of using a classic Volkswagen Kombi for special occasions in and around Sydney just didn't exist, but it seemed like a good potential business opportunity - a unique vehicle with 'busloads' of retro appeal, combined with a carrying capacity not offered by more modern vehicles.  

Unfortunately at that time it just wasn't to be - with a new family member imminent, and without the necessary storage facilities to treat an old beauty as it would deserve, the idea was put on a temporary 'hold'.

In 2005, following a move from Sydney to Newcastle, I acquired the space required to undertake a restoration.  It was only a matter of time before a well loved but tired Early Bay Kombi made its way up from the south coast of NSW to begin a 3-year long transformation, going from family workhorse to the classic beauty you now see in the Gallery section.

After a lot of hard work, time and money, in August 2008 'Porridge' hit the roads and has not looked back.  The formation of Newcastle Kombi Hire marked the realisation of a vision started many years earlier, and although really only operating as a hobby business, 'Porridge' has performed numerous successful outings to date, bringing a unique experience to those after something different for their special day!
