- 496bhp 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with mild-hybrid assistance
- 0-62mph in 4.8 seconds, limited to 155mph

- Two reclining, heated and cooled executive rear seats
- Acoustic glass and active noise control for a near-silent cabin

## What is the difference between a Maybach and a standard S-Class?

Length and the back seat. The Maybach adds roughly 18cm of wheelbase, almost all of it rear legroom, and replaces the rear bench with two individual reclining chairs that heat, cool and massage. There is a folding table for each, a cooler between them and thicker acoustic glass. Mechanically it is an S-Class with the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, so it is quicker as well as quieter.

## Is the Maybach the right car for a wedding?

It is the obvious one, provided the driving is understood. This is a self-drive hire, so the person named on the agreement drives and we do not supply a chauffeur. What the car gives you is a rear cabin that photographs well, doors that close themselves and a ride quiet enough that conversation carries at motorway speed. Two-tone paint is common on these cars and worth asking about when we confirm the specific one.

## What does it cost to hire?

A refundable deposit of £7,500 and a matching insurance excess apply. Mileage is 12,000 miles a year, with £2.50 a mile after that. Those are guide figures until a partner confirms the car.

## How does it drive from the front seat?

Better than its role suggests. The V8 takes it to 62mph in 4.8 seconds without raising its voice, and the air suspension reads the road ahead with a camera, so it flattens most surfaces before you feel them. It is long, and multi-storey car parks take thought, though rear-axle steering shortens the turning circle more than the length implies.

## Frequently asked questions

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

Yes, on a sourced basis. We arrange it through partners rather than supplying it ourselves, and we confirm a named car and your dates before anything is agreed.

### Does the Maybach come with a driver?

No. Every hire we arrange is self-drive, so the person named on the agreement does the driving. If a chauffeur is essential, say so early and we will tell you plainly whether we can help.

### How many seats does a Maybach S-Class have?

Four. The rear bench is replaced by two individual executive seats, which is the point of the car. A five-seat layout exists but is rare on British cars, so we quote it as a four-seater.

*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.*
