The car you wanted. And someone to drive it.
Mercedes and Range Rover hire in London with a professional chauffeur — one fixed price, agreed before you travel.
- From £370 — full day (8 hours) with a chauffeur
Licence PHOP950Luxury car hire in London with Tripyana always includes a professional chauffeur: £370 for a full day (8 hours) in a Mercedes E-Class, £460 in a V-Class, £620 in an S-Class and £730 in a Range Rover. Shorter bookings start at £230 for four hours in an E-Class.
Because the car comes with its driver, there is no deposit to leave, no insurance excess to argue about and no fuel to return. The price you agree is the price you pay, whatever London traffic decides to do that day. Every booking is a luxury car with driver, never a self-drive rental.
A luxury chauffeur service in London, not a rental
Nothing to sign, nothing to risk
No security deposit, no excess, no card held against damage. You are a passenger in an insured private hire vehicle, not a renter.
London drives itself
Congestion charge, ULEZ, bus lanes and parking are all our problem. Your chauffeur knows the streets and waits while you don’t.
One price, agreed early
Quoted before you confirm and never touched again — no mileage limits, no late-return penalty, and the same figure on the day.
What makes a chauffeur service luxury?
The badge on the bonnet is only part of it. A luxury chauffeur in London should get four things right, and they are the questions worth asking before you book.
- The licence: the operator must hold a private hire operator licence. We hold one, and every journey is pre-booked and insured.
- The car: a recent Mercedes or Range Rover, cleaned and checked before each booking, chosen for comfort in the back seat rather than speed.
- The chauffeur: smartly dressed, discreet and on time, waiting at your door rather than circling the block. On day hire the same person stays with you from the first pickup to the last drop.
- The price: one fixed figure confirmed in writing before the day, so a long lunch or slow traffic on Park Lane never changes it.
If any of those is vague when you ask, keep looking. With Tripyana all four come with every booking, whether it is a theatre evening, a shopping day or a run of meetings across the City.

Do You Offer Self-Drive Luxury Car Rental?
No — every car we hire out comes with its own chauffeur. Tripyana is a licensed private hire operator, not a rental company, so you never drive the vehicle yourself and never sign a rental agreement.
For most visitors that is the better deal anyway. Self-drive luxury rental in London means a four-figure deposit, an insurance excess, mileage caps, the congestion charge and ULEZ on your own account, and parking that can cost more per hour than a coffee. With a chauffeur those disappear into one agreed fare — and someone else reverses the Range Rover into the Mayfair space. Every booking is a complete luxury chauffeur service in London: the car, the professional chauffeur and the fixed price arranged together.
Which Luxury Car Should I Choose?
Match the car to the day, not to the badge. The Mercedes E-Class is the quiet, correct choice for one or two people moving between meetings. The Mercedes V-Class chauffeur van seats up to seven with real luggage space, which is why families and shopping days end up in it.
When arriving matters as much as travelling, the Mercedes S-Class is the executive standard, and the Range Rover carries four in the most presence London offers. Every car is a recent model, valeted before it reaches you, with bottled water and Wi-Fi on board. These are luxury cars with a driver, chosen for the back seat: Mercedes saloons, the V-Class and the Range Rover, rather than supercars or sports cars.
Can I Hire a Luxury Car for a Wedding, an Event or an Airport Arrival?
Yes. Weddings, anniversaries, race days, dinners and photo shoots are booked from four hours or for the full day, with the chauffeur staying with you throughout rather than dropping you and leaving. An evening drive past the lit-up landmarks is booked as a London by night tour. For a whole stay planned around the car, see our VIP services in London.
Airport arrivals work differently and cost less: they are fixed-fare journeys, not hires. Your chauffeur meets you inside arrivals with a name board, tracks the flight from Heathrow or any London airport, and includes 60 minutes of free waiting from the moment you land. Business days with several stops are usually cheaper as an executive car service booked for the half day.
Should I Book Four Hours or the Full Day?
Book four hours for one main stop, and the full day for three or more. Shorter bookings start at four hours, while a full day gives you eight hours with one chauffeur.
The full day also suits plans that may run late. Waiting time is already in the price, so a long lunch or an extra boutique costs nothing more. Tell us the plan when you book, and the written quote will match it.
Which car suits which occasion
- Shopping in Knightsbridge or Bond Street: the V-Class, because bags ride in the back rather than on your lap. Your chauffeur waits nearby between stores.
- A West End theatre night: the E-Class for one or two people, dropped at the theatre and collected when the curtain falls.
- Ascot, Wimbledon or Henley season: the S-Class when the arrival matters, or the V-Class for a group. Ascot and Henley sit outside central London, so a full day removes the clock.
- Dinner after a day of meetings: the E-Class or S-Class, with the same chauffeur from the first meeting to the restaurant door.
Whatever the occasion, the chauffeur stays with you throughout. You never wait on a pavement for a car to come back.
Can I Bring Children or Take the Car Outside London?
Yes to both. Child seats are free in every car, for babies as well as older children. Tell us each child's age when you book, and the right seat is fitted before pickup.
The car can also leave the city for the day: Windsor, Oxford, the Cotswolds or a country house lunch. Send the route and every stop, and the written quote covers the whole journey at one fixed figure. Longer one-way runs are quoted the same way, such as a chauffeured drive from London to Manchester.
On longer drives, the V-Class gives a family room to stretch, with space behind for a pushchair and the shopping. Need more than eight hours? Ask when you book, and the extra time goes into the same quote.
How Far in Advance Should I Book a Luxury Chauffeur in London?
Book as soon as your dates are fixed, especially if you want one particular car. The S-Class and Range Rover are easier to secure with a few days’ notice.
Plan further ahead for Ascot, Wimbledon and Henley weeks, and for December evenings before Christmas. Demand for chauffeured cars climbs on those dates, and the best cars go early. If the evening is about the decorations, a private London Christmas lights tour takes in Regent Street, Carnaby Street and Covent Garden.
Short notice is still possible. Airport transfers can be booked online up to one hour before pickup. On a very late booking, your chauffeur may arrive a little after the agreed time.
For a day or evening hire, send the plan and your preferred car when you book. We reply with a fixed quote the same day, so you can confirm while the car is still free.
Can I Keep a Luxury Car With a Driver for Several Days?
Yes. Luxury chauffeur hire can be arranged around a whole stay rather than a single outing: the arrival from the airport, several days in town and the drive back for the flight home. Send the itinerary day by day, and one written quote covers every day, every pickup time and every transfer before anything is paid. For the departure itself, some guests also look at the Windsor Suite, Heathrow’s private terminal.
Each day is shaped around your diary. A shopping morning in Knightsbridge, a gallery afternoon and a late dinner can sit on one day; a quiet day at the hotel needs no car at all, and you pay only for the days you book. If different days call for different cars, for example the Mercedes V-Class for a family outing and a saloon for an evening out, list that in the plan and the quote will show it.
Three details make a longer booking run smoothly: the arrival flight number, so the airport pickup follows the real landing time; the hotel address for each night; and any day that leaves the city, so the distance is priced in from the start. For a stay planned around more than the car, see our VIP services in London, or start with the online booking page.
Frequently Asked Questions About Luxury Car Hire in London
How much does luxury car hire cost in London?
A full day of eight hours with a chauffeur costs £370 in a Mercedes E-Class, £460 in a V-Class, £620 in an S-Class and £730 in a Range Rover. Shorter bookings start at £230 for four hours, then £45 per extra hour. Every rate includes the chauffeur, fuel and waiting time.
Can I drive the car myself?
No. Tripyana is a licensed private hire operator rather than a rental company, so every luxury car is hired with its own professional chauffeur. That means no security deposit, no insurance excess, no mileage limit and no congestion charge or parking to pay yourself.
Is there a minimum hire time?
Yes, for driver hire: four hours, from £230 with the E-Class. Fixed-route journeys have no minimum at all — an airport transfer from Heathrow to central London is a single fixed fare from £125 however long the traffic takes.
What is included in the price?
The car, the professional chauffeur, fuel, waiting time and all London road charges. Bottled water and Wi-Fi are on board. Nothing is added after the booking is confirmed, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup.
Are your chauffeurs and cars licensed?
Yes. Tripyana is a licensed UK private hire operator, and the licence and company numbers are printed in the footer of this page. Every journey is a pre-booked, insured private hire carried out by a professional chauffeur in a recent, valeted vehicle.
Can my chauffeur wait while I shop or watch a show?
Yes. On four-hour and full-day hire the chauffeur stays with you throughout, waiting nearby while you shop, dine or watch a show. Waiting time is already included in the price, so a longer lunch or an encore does not change the agreed fare.
Should I book four hours or a full day for Ascot, Wimbledon or Henley?
A full day is usually the better choice. Ascot and Henley sit outside central London, and event days rarely finish on schedule. Eight hours with one chauffeur normally covers the drive out, the wait and the return, and the V-Class seats up to seven for larger groups.
Can I book a luxury chauffeur for a night out in London?
Yes. Book from four hours, or the full day if the evening starts with dinner and ends late. Your chauffeur drops you at the door of the restaurant, theatre or club, waits nearby and collects you when you are ready, so nobody stands on a pavement at midnight looking for a ride home.
