Membership includes participation in the annual <strong>$20 million group public liability insurance policy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>History of the VCCHA:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally established in the early 1970s as <strong>The Vintage &amp; Classic Hirer\u2019s Association Inc.<\/strong>, the association was founded in NSW by a passionate group of classic car owners. Coordinated by secretary and member <strong>Brian Morris<\/strong>, the group met regularly to share their love for classic vehicles at car shows, weekend outings, and social events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, Brian passed away in <strong>February 2020<\/strong>, but his legacy lives on through the association. Many of the original members have continued to run their vehicle hire businesses, offering chauffeur-driven classic car rentals for weddings, corporate events, school formals, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>2012<\/strong>, <strong>Deborah-Jane (DJ) Gillard<\/strong>, owner of <strong>Kombi Celebrations<\/strong>, became a member of the VCCHA. Following Brian\u2019s passing, DJ was approached to help prevent the closure of the association, which would have greatly affected its <strong>50+ members<\/strong>, particularly the continuation of the crucial <strong>$20 million public liability insurance policy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>August 2020<\/strong>, with the support of the association&#8217;s insurance broker, a new association was formed, and the name was slightly changed to <strong>The Vintage &amp; Classic Car Hirer\u2019s Australia Inc.<\/strong> (still referred to as VCCHA), ensuring the continuation of the group policy for all members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For all VCCHA enquiries please contact the President and Membership Coordinator Deborah-Jane Gillard via <a href=\"mailto:vccha.coordinator@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">email<\/a> or 0414 182 442.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/vccha.com.au\/index.php\/join-the-vccha\/\">JOIN TODAY<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for your interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kind Regards,<br>Deborah-Jane (DJ) Gillard<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>President + Membership Coordinator<\/strong><br>THE VINTAGE &amp; CLASSIC CAR HIRER&#8217;S AUSTRALIA ASSOCIATION (VCCHA)<br><strong>Incorporation registration Number: <\/strong>INC2001045<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"855\" height=\"830\" data-id=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/vccha.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-05-213106.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vccha.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-05-213106.png 855w, https:\/\/vccha.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-05-213106-300x291.png 300w, https:\/\/vccha.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-05-213106-768x746.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 855px) 100vw, 855px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"886\" height=\"879\" data-id=\"25\" src=\"https:\/\/vccha.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-05-213221-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vccha.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-05-213221-1.png 886w, https:\/\/vccha.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-05-213221-1-300x298.png 300w, https:\/\/vccha.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-05-213221-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/vccha.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-05-213221-1-768x762.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 886px) 100vw, 886px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"886\" height=\"884\" data-id=\"28\" src=\"https:\/\/vccha.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-05-223609.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vccha.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-05-223609.png 886w, https:\/\/vccha.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-05-223609-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/vccha.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-05-223609-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/vccha.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-05-223609-768x766.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 886px) 100vw, 886px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"886\" height=\"882\" data-id=\"29\" src=\"https:\/\/vccha.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-05-223701.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vccha.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-05-223701.png 886w, https:\/\/vccha.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-05-223701-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/vccha.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-05-223701-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/vccha.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Screenshot-2024-04-05-223701-768x765.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 886px) 100vw, 886px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About The Vintage &amp; Classic Car Hirer\u2019s Australia (VCCHA) The Vintage &amp; Classic Car Hirer\u2019s Australia (VCCHA) is an association for accredited event transportation operators and owners of chauffeur-driven vehicles, including limousines, prestige, and classic cars.
