Bentley Hire London

Hire a Bentley in London from £595 per day with Prestige Collection. Four Bentley models are available: the Bentayga luxury SUV, the Continental GT coupe, the Continental GTC open-top convertible, and the Flying Spur four-door grand tourer — all handcrafted in Crewe and available for self-drive hire with fully comprehensive insurance included. Collect from our Bayswater branch or from Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, and Edinburgh airports.

The Bentley fleet — which model should you hire?

Prestige Collection offers four Bentley models covering every occasion, group size, and driving preference. The table below sets out the key differences.
 

Bentley Bentayga Azure — the luxury SUV

The Bentley Bentayga is the most practically versatile car in the Bentley range — five full-size adult seats, a proper boot, and the ability to handle any road from Kensington to the Cotswolds without a hint of compromise. The Azure specification adds the highest level of interior finishing available in the Bentayga range, including diamond quilted leather upholstery, open-pore wood veneers, and the Bentley rotating display in the dashboard.

The 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 produces 542bhp — enough to accelerate a car of this size to 60mph in around 4.5 seconds — while the air suspension adjusts constantly to maintain Bentley's signature ride quality regardless of road surface. The Bentayga is the right Bentley if you need to carry five adults in genuine comfort, or if you want a Bentley that works as your sole vehicle for an extended hire period.

The Bentayga is the right choice if:

You need five seats
Practicality and luxury carry equal weight
You want a Bentley suitable for everyday use across a longer hire

Bentley Continental GT V8 — the grand touring coupe

The Continental GT is the car that defines what Bentley is in the modern era. Since its launch in 2003, it has been continuously developed and refined — but the fundamental proposition has never changed: a grand touring coupe that is genuinely fast, genuinely luxurious, and genuinely beautiful in a way that very few cars at any price achieve.

The 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 produces 542bhp, propelling the Continental GT to 60mph in under four seconds and on to a top speed in excess of 198mph. Yet it remains effortlessly docile in London traffic — the V8's torque means you rarely need to change gear, the eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox shuffles between ratios silently, and the air suspension absorbs London's roads without drama. The Continental GT is the Bentley for those who want to drive it themselves rather than sit in the back.

The two-plus-two seating means rear accommodation is best suited to smaller adults or children on shorter journeys. It is primarily a car for driver and front passenger.

The Continental GT is the right choice if:

The driving experience is the priority
Two seats are sufficient for most of your hire
You want the most iconic Bentley coupe design

Bentley Continental GTC — the open-top convertible

The Continental GTC takes everything that makes the GT coupe exceptional and adds the defining element of open-top motoring. The soft-top roof folds away in seconds, transforming the car and revealing the full extent of the hand-stitched leather interior. With the roof down, the V8's distinctive exhaust note is fully present — and the combination of Bentley's grand touring capability with open-air driving creates an experience that very few cars can approach at any price.

The GTC retains the same 542bhp V8 and performance figures as the GT coupe. Wind deflectors keep turbulence to a minimum at speed, and the cabin remains remarkably refined even with the roof fully lowered. It is the Bentley most often chosen for summer weekends, special occasions, and arrivals where presence is the primary consideration.

The GTC is the right choice if:
You want the open-top Bentley experience
Summer driving or a special occasion is the context
The visual impact of a Bentley convertible matters

Bentley Flying Spur — the four-door grand tourer

The Flying Spur is the most passenger-focused Bentley in the fleet. Four full-size doors, four genuinely adult-sized seats, and a rear compartment that has been designed with the same level of care as the front — heated and massaging rear seats, rear entertainment options, and the kind of legroom that makes longer journeys feel effortless. This is the Bentley for those who travel with passengers and want those passengers to arrive as refreshed as the driver.

Developed originally as the saloon companion to the Continental GT coupe, the Flying Spur has always been the more discreet choice in the Bentley range — its four-door body makes it less immediately identifiable as a Bentley than the Continental coupe, which suits clients who want the quality without the visual drama. The 4.0-litre V8 produces the same 542bhp as the other models in the range, with a 0-60mph time of 3.9 seconds.

The Flying Spur is the right choice if:

You need four full-size adult seats with Bentley quality
Rear passenger comfort is a priority — chauffeur style or self-drive
Discretion and refinement matter more than visual drama

Why hire a Bentley in London?

Every Bentley is handcrafted at the company's factory in Crewe, Cheshire — a fact that is genuinely apparent the moment you open the door. The leather, veneer, and interior materials are fitted by skilled craftspeople rather than automated machinery. The stitching is hand-done. The veneers are book-matched. The fit of every panel is checked individually. This level of craftsmanship is not common to any other manufacturer in the Prestige Collection fleet, and it is the reason why the interior of a Bentley hire car sets a standard that most other luxury vehicles cannot match.

Prestige Collection is London's most established Bentley hire specialist. As Europcar's official partner in the UK, every hire comes with the trust and infrastructure of one of the world's leading car rental companies. All Bentleys in the fleet are owned outright by Prestige Collection, fully inspected and prepared before each rental.

Handcrafted in Crewe Every Bentley is built by hand at the Bentley factory in Crewe, Cheshire. The hand-stitched leather, book-matched wood veneers, and individually checked interior panels create a standard of craftsmanship that defines the Bentley ownership — and hire — experience.
Four Models, Every Occasion From the five-seat Bentayga SUV (from £595/day) to the open-top Continental GTC, the Flying Spur four-door grand tourer, and the Continental GT coupe — Prestige Collection's Bentley range covers every group size, occasion, and driving preference in London.
Self-Drive or Chauffeur All four Bentleys in the Prestige Collection fleet are available for self-drive hire. Several models can also be discussed for chauffeur hire — contact our team to arrange a bespoke chauffeured Bentley package for corporate or occasion use.

Q: What does "handcrafted in Crewe" mean? A: Every Bentley is individually built at the Bentley factory in Crewe, Cheshire. Unlike most car manufacturers who rely heavily on automated production, Bentley's craftspeople hand-stitch the leather, hand-fit the wood veneers, and individually inspect each interior panel. This results in a level of interior quality and finish that sets Bentley apart from every other brand in the fleet.
