The benchmark of executive travel — with your own professional driver
Hiring a Mercedes S-Class with a driver in London is the definitive way to travel for business. Our luxury chauffeur service pairs the most accomplished executive saloon in its class with a licensed, DBS-checked professional chauffeur — discreet when you wish to work, attentive when you need assistance, and always punctual. Whether you are heading to a board meeting, catching a flight from Heathrow or seeing London in style, a chauffeur-driven S-Class delivers a calm, polished journey from start to finish.
Every S-Class in our Mercedes-Benz fleet is a current-generation model under three years old, immaculately presented and maintained to manufacturer standard. For the ultra-luxury step up, see the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class; for value on everyday journeys, the Mercedes E-Class starts at £50/hr; for zero-emission executive travel, the BMW i7.
Every booking is genuinely all-inclusive: VAT, the ULEZ charge and the Congestion Charge are built into your quoted price. Most London operators quote the S-Class at £75–£85 per hour plus VAT — with us, £75 per hour is the final figure. No “plus VAT”, no late-booking fees, no surprises at the end of the journey.
The S-Class experience
The S-Class is engineered around the passenger. Hand-finished leather seating, soft ambient lighting, four-zone climate control and near-silent road manners create a cabin that is equal parts boardroom and sanctuary. There is generous space for up to three passengers and their luggage, with on-board Wi-Fi, device charging and rear-seat comfort that makes even longer journeys feel effortless — the ideal environment to prepare for a meeting, take a confidential call, or simply unwind as the city slips by.
Corporate travel and business meetings
For corporate travel, the S-Class sets exactly the right tone. Arriving by chauffeur-driven Mercedes signals professionalism — whether you are welcoming a delegation, attending negotiations or moving between engagements. Book an executive chauffeur to keep the car with you all day, arrange multi-stop business meetings or a financial roadshow with several cars on one schedule. Companies can open a corporate account through our corporate chauffeur service — monthly invoicing, agreed rates and a dedicated account manager.
S-Class airport transfers — Heathrow, private jets and FBOs
The S-Class is our most requested car for executive airport transfers. We cover Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Stansted and London City with fixed, published prices — Heathrow from £170 all-inclusive — plus live flight tracking, free waiting time and a nameboard meet & greet at arrivals. Your chauffeur is waiting the moment you land, however late the flight runs.
Flying privately? Your chauffeur will meet you directly at the FBO at Farnborough, Biggin Hill, Luton Private or RAF Northolt, coordinate timing with your flight crew, and handle luggage from jet to boot.
Weddings, occasions and sightseeing
Beyond business, the S-Class is a graceful wedding car — roomy enough for the grandest dress, elegant in every photograph, with ribbons in your colours on request. It is equally at home at premieres and special events and on race days. Visitors can take in Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London and the South Bank on a private sightseeing itinerary, hired by the hour with the chauffeur on call all day.
S-Class vs Maybach — which to choose
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the executive benchmark: refined, commanding and superb value at £75/hr. The Mercedes-Maybach S-Class (£180/hr) is the ultra-luxury step up — a longer wheelbase, individual reclining rear seats and even finer materials, built specifically to be driven in. Choose the S-Class for daily executive travel; choose the Maybach when the occasion calls for the very highest level of comfort and presence.
