## What is the difference between the Continental GT and the GTC?

The GTC is the convertible. It swaps the fixed roof for a fabric one that folds electrically in about 19 seconds and will operate at up to 30mph, so you can drop it while moving through traffic. The rest — engine, gearbox, all-wheel drive, cabin — is shared. The convertible carries a little extra weight, which costs it around a tenth to 62mph.

## Can you use it with the roof down in Britain?

More often than you would think. The seats have neck warmers, the heating is strong, and a wind deflector behind the rear seats keeps the cabin calm at speed. With those in use, roof-down driving stays comfortable well into autumn. With the roof up the car is properly insulated and quiet enough for a phone call at 70mph.

## Is it a sensible wedding or corporate car?

On both counts, yes. Four seats mean the couple and two others, the doors are conventional and the sill is low enough to step over in formal clothes. For corporate use it is quieter and less conspicuous than a supercar while still being obviously expensive, which is usually the right balance when you are collecting a client.

## What does a Continental GTC cost to hire?

A refundable £10,000 deposit and a £10,000 insurance excess apply, with 12,000 miles a year included and £2.50 a mile beyond. These are guide figures on a sourced car and are confirmed in writing before you decide.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I hire a Bentley Continental GTC in the UK?

We can source one, subject to confirmation. We check availability with our partners against your dates and confirm the specific car, its paint and its roof colour before anything is fixed.

### How long does the Continental GTC roof take to fold?

About 19 seconds, and it will operate at speeds up to roughly 30mph, so you can raise or lower it without pulling over.

### How many people does a Continental GTC seat?

Four. The rear seats are usable for adults on shorter journeys and fine for children or luggage on longer ones.

*Performance & Prestige hires vehicles from its own fleet and, where a vehicle is not one of ours, arranges it through a vetted partner. Cars marked "we can source" are subject to confirmation before anything is agreed. Rates include VAT. Nothing is booked or paid for through this website: a person confirms the car, the full cost and the delivery slot with you first.*

*Pre-launch note: the rates, driver criteria, deposits, excesses and mileage allowances quoted here are read from Performance & Prestige's own catalogue data, which is still being confirmed with the owner and the insurer.
