Luxury car hire in London
Luxury car hire should feel easy from the first click. At R3ntal Central you choose your dates, see which cars are free, sign your hire agreement online and pay a £100 booking deposit to secure the car. From there, one person looks after your hire until the car is back with us.
A broad luxury fleet
Our fleet runs from compact to performance to saloon. It includes BMW and Mercedes-Benz models for business trips and weekends away, SUVs for families and luggage, and performance cars at the top of the range, including the Range Rover SVR.
Every car on our cars page shows its photos, its key details and live availability for your dates. Day rates are shown as "from" prices, and you see the full price for your dates before you book.
- Saloons for business travel and long motorway runs. See saloon hire.
- SUVs for space, height and comfort. See SUV hire.
- Performance cars for an occasion or a drive to remember. See performance car hire.
What's included
Insurance is included in the hire for drivers over 25. You'll see the full price before you book.
Every hire also comes with:
- A customer experience manager. One person to call if anything needs attention, from booking to return.
- A support line from 8am to 8pm.
- A photo inspection at collection and return, recorded with you, so the condition of the car is never in question.
- Your own customer account, where you can see your bookings, charges, payments and documents in one place.
How booking works
- Choose your dates. We show only the cars that are free for the whole of your hire.
- Pick your car and create your account. Your licence and documents are held on your profile, so returning hires are quicker.
- Upload your licence and DVLA check code. We check your licence before the booking is confirmed.
- Sign your hire agreement online. You can read every term before you sign.
- Pay the £100 booking deposit and the security deposit. The booking deposit comes off your hire price.
- Collect and drive. Pay the balance, complete the photo inspection with us, and the keys are yours.
There's no minimum hire. You can book a single day, a week or a month, and daily, weekly and monthly rates are available. For longer hires, see weekly and monthly hire.
Licence and age
You'll need a clean licence and to be at least 25. Some cars can be hired by younger drivers, depending on the vehicle. If your circumstances are different, call us to discuss them before you book. See licence and age for the details.
Collection and delivery
Collect from our depot in Hainault, East London, or ask about delivery and collection to your home, hotel or office, available at extra cost. See delivery and collection.
Hiring for work
If you hire regularly for your business, open a business account. We'll call you back to set it up, and your team can book through one account.
Why choose R3ntal Central
We don't compete on price. We compete on how well your hire is looked after: a clear price before you book, a documented inspection at both ends, and one person who knows your booking. As a Syndicar agency, we can offer a client portal where you can request a booking extension and get support throughout your hire.
Choosing the right car for your trip
The right car depends on what the hire is for, not just the badge on the bonnet.
| If your hire is for | Consider | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Client meetings and business travel | A saloon | Quiet, comfortable and discreet, with luggage out of sight |
| A family weekend or a group | An SUV | Space for passengers and bags, and a higher seat in traffic |
| An occasion or a special drive | A performance car | The top of the range, for a drive you'll remember |
| A month in London | Any car that fits your routine | Weekly and monthly rates, with no minimum hire |
If you're unsure, call us before you book. We'd rather help you choose the right car than have you settle for the wrong one.
Before you collect
A little preparation makes collection quick.
- Check your licence is clean and in date, and have it with you.
- Get your DVLA check code and add it to your booking. We check your licence before the booking is confirmed.
- Sign your hire agreement online before you pay, so there's nothing to read at the depot.
- Pay the balance in your account before the day, or at collection.
- Plan your route. If you'll drive into central London, read our guides to the ULEZ and the Congestion Charge.
