## What does an S-Class cost to hire for a day?

A refundable deposit of £3,000 and a matching insurance excess apply, and mileage runs at 12,000 miles a year with £1.50 a mile after that. Because the car is sourced rather than owned by us, those figures stay a guide until a partner confirms the specific car.

## Is the S 500 quick enough?

It reaches 62mph in 4.9 seconds and runs to a limited 155mph, which is more than the car ever asks you to use. The 3.0-litre straight-six is turbocharged and carries a small mild-hybrid motor that fills the gap below boost, so there is no step in the delivery. The point of the car is not pace. It is that pace arrives without noise or effort.

## Why hire an S-Class rather than buy one?

Depreciation on a flagship saloon is heaviest in the first two years, and most people need one for a season rather than a term. A hire covers the client week, the run of board meetings or the summer, then stops. We deliver to your address and collect from it, so there is no counter queue and no handover in a car park.

## Does it come with a driver?

No. Every hire we arrange is self-drive, so the person named on the agreement does the driving. If being driven is the point, the standard S-Class is still comfortable in the back, but the Maybach S 580 is the car built for it, with an extended wheelbase and reclining rear seats.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can you hire a Mercedes-Benz S-Class in the UK?

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

### Which engine does the S 500 use?

A 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six with mild-hybrid assistance, producing 429bhp through 4MATIC all-wheel drive. It is not a plug-in, so there is nothing to charge.

### How old do I need to be to hire an S-Class?

Thirty, with at least three years on a full licence and no more than six points. A refundable £3,000 deposit and a £3,000 insurance excess apply, both stated before you enquire.

*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. Read them as the shape of the figures rather than as a quotation. What binds is your written quote and your hire agreement.*
