Luxury Car Hire with a Chauffeur
Luxury car hire with a chauffeur gives you a prestige car for the day together with a professional driver, so you enjoy the car from the rear seat rather than worrying about insurance excess, parking or a drink at dinner. We do not rent luxury cars out to drive yourself; every car in our fleet comes with a chauffeur. That choice is deliberate, and for most occasions where people search for luxury car hire it turns out to be the better arrangement.
Why luxury hire usually works better with a driver
Self-drive prestige rental often comes with a large deposit, age limits, mileage caps and an insurance excess that can run into thousands. You are also responsible for finding parking near the venue and for getting the car back on time. With a chauffeur, those problems belong to someone else. You are dropped at the door, the car waits or returns at a set time, and nobody in your party has to stay sober to drive home.
It is also a question of what the car is for. A luxury car on an anniversary, a gala evening or a milestone birthday is about the experience of being driven in it, not the experience of driving it.
The cars and what they suit
Our fleet is small and every car is chosen for a purpose.
- Rolls-Royce Phantom: the statement car. Anniversaries, galas, milestone celebrations and any arrival meant to be noticed.
- Mercedes S500 long wheelbase: the all-rounder for up to four passengers. Quiet, comfortable, equally at home at an airport or a restaurant.
- Audi A6: understated luxury for travellers who prefer not to draw attention.
- Mercedes V-Class: seats up to seven passengers, for a group that wants to travel together in comfort.
Occasions people book it for
Evenings out and fine dining, theatre trips, surprise celebrations, race days and other events, shopping days in London, and airport journeys where comfort matters on the way to a long flight. Business clients use the same cars to collect visiting guests or to travel between meetings. Wedding cars are handled by our sister company, White 7 Wedding Cars.
Hourly or one-way
A one-way booking takes you from A to B at a price set by the route. Hourly or day hire keeps the car and chauffeur with you, waiting between stops, which suits an evening with dinner and a show or a day with several appointments. If you are not sure which fits, describe the plan and we will suggest the simpler option.
What to tell us
The date, pickup and destination addresses, the timings, how many passengers, any luggage, and the occasion if there is one. The occasion helps: it changes which car we recommend and how the chauffeur approaches the day. You then receive a fixed quote before anything is confirmed.
Standards you should expect
Whoever you book with, a luxury car should arrive clean inside and out, on time, with a chauffeur who is smartly dressed and knows the route. Our chauffeurs are licensed, insured and DBS checked, and every car is insured for hire and reward. If an operator cannot confirm those basics, the car itself matters very little.
Planning the day around the car
A little planning makes a luxury booking feel effortless. Decide first whether the car is the centrepiece or the transport: if it is the centrepiece, allow time at the start for photographs and a relaxed departure; if it is transport, keep the schedule tight and let the chauffeur choose the route. Think about where the car will stop, because a grand entrance only works if the venue lets the car pull up at the door, so check with the venue beforehand. Consider the return journey too. Many people book a car for the outward trip and then find themselves waiting for a taxi at midnight. Booking both legs, or keeping the car by the hour, avoids that anticlimax. Finally, tell us about anything personal: a surprise, a gift in the boot, a preferred playlist or a passenger with limited mobility. Small details like these are easy to arrange in advance and hard to fix on the night.
