## Flying Spur or Continental GT?

Two more doors and a proper back seat. Mechanically they are close relatives, but the Flying Spur is 300mm longer, seats five and carries 420 litres of luggage against the coupé's 235. If more than two people are travelling, or if anyone is going to spend real time in the rear, the Flying Spur is the obvious choice.

## How does it compare with a Rolls-Royce Ghost?

The Bentley is the driver's car of the two. It is smaller, firmer, quicker to 62mph and happier on a country road. The Ghost is quieter, more formal and more impressive at walking pace. For a business trip you drive yourself, most people prefer the Bentley. For a wedding entrance, the Rolls usually wins.

## What does it cost to hire?

A refundable deposit near £7,500 and an equivalent excess apply. Mileage runs at 12,000 miles a year with roughly £2.50 a mile beyond. Delivery within mainland Britain is priced separately.

## Does it work as a corporate car?

It is one of the best options for it. Five seats, a large boot, a cabin that is genuinely quiet, and a badge that reads as established rather than flashy. It is a common choice for client collections, board travel and multi-day event work where an executive saloon would look thin.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you hire a Bentley Flying Spur in the UK?

Yes, on a sourced basis. We arrange it through partners rather than supplying it from our own fleet, and we confirm a specific vehicle and your dates before anything is agreed.

### Is the Flying Spur available with a V12?

Not on current cars. Bentley ended W12 production in 2024, so contemporary Flying Spurs use the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, either on its own or with hybrid assistance.

### How many people does a Flying Spur seat?

Five on most cars, with a rear bench. Some are specified with two individual rear seats and a centre console, which makes them four-seaters. We confirm the layout of the actual car before your date.

*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.
