Ask four questions first

Before comparing badges or body styles, decide what the vehicle needs to accomplish. The answers quickly narrow the fleet and make it easier to compare practical fit with visual impact.

  • How many people are traveling?
  • How much luggage or equipment is coming?
  • Is the vehicle for transportation, driving enjoyment, or a formal arrival?
  • Do you want to drive or use a chauffeur?

Rolls-Royce Ghost or Cadillac Escalade

Choose the Rolls-Royce Ghost when the arrival is part of the occasion. Its presence fits weddings, proposals, formal events, executive transportation, and photography. It may be requested for self-drive or chauffeur service, subject to approval and availability.

The Escalade is the most versatile choice for passenger room, luggage, executive travel, airport service, and groups that want to remain together. It is available by request for self-drive or chauffeur service.

Mercedes CLS 450 or Audi S7

The CLS 450 suits business travel, date nights, airport itineraries, and longer drives where comfort and understated styling matter. It balances luxury-sedan composure with a coupe-like silhouette.

The Audi S7 works for renters who want executive comfort with a more athletic personality. It is a strong all-around choice for dinners, celebrations, business plans, and a polished daily itinerary.

BMW i8: the dramatic sports-car choice

Choose the BMW i8 when visual impact and the driving experience come first. Its low profile and distinctive doors make it especially suited to celebrations, content, photography, and memorable personal drives.

Because its shape and cabin are more specialized, confirm passenger comfort, luggage, and entry needs before making it the centerpiece of a tightly planned day.

Confirm the practical requirements

Once you have a favorite, review driver eligibility, insurance, security deposit, mileage, approved travel, and availability. Only approved drivers listed in the final agreement may operate a self-drive rental.

A reservation request begins a personal review. Final pricing, terms, and vehicle availability are confirmed before the booking is complete.

Frequently asked questions

Which vehicle offers the most passenger room?

The Cadillac Escalade offers the largest cabin in the self-drive fleet. For a larger chauffeured celebration, consider the Party Bus.

Which vehicle is best for a wedding arrival?

The Rolls-Royce Ghost is the signature formal-arrival option, although the right choice depends on passengers, wardrobe, photography, and venue logistics.

Can every vehicle be booked with a chauffeur?

No. Chauffeur availability varies by vehicle. Review the chauffeur collection or ask the concierge to recommend an option for the occasion.
