Bentley car rental in London
Two Bentley models are ready for Bentley car rental in London — the Continental GT Convertible from £837 a day and the Bentayga from £920 — so the choice comes down to whether you want the roof down or the extra seat. Both come with four-wheel drive, a 4.0 L engine and 550 hp, delivered to any address locally and to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City and Southend.
Bentley car rental in London with Rent-Trip
Bentley car rental with Rent-Trip is self-drive: two cars, both delivered to you, with the booking agreed with a manager before anything is fixed. There is no counter to queue at and no driver in the front seat.
Self-drive Bentley hire in London, not a chauffeur service
Rent-Trip Bentley hire is self-drive — you take the wheel yourself, and no driver comes with the car. What you get is the key, a full tank and a Bentley with an automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive; what you do not get is anyone sitting in front of you in a cap. In our experience most people asking about a Bentley have already driven something fast and simply want the same car without a middleman, so the agreement is the ordinary self-drive one: the car is yours for the booked period, you drive it, you return it full.
Two cars, one brand, delivered to you
Rent-Trip has 2 Bentley cars on this page, and both come to you rather than waiting at a counter. Delivery is the default, not an upgrade:
- Delivery address: any address locally, plus Heathrow (LHR), Gatwick (LGW), Stansted (STN), Luton (LTN), London City (LCY) and Southend (SEN) — you name the spot, we bring the car.
- Timing: the delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, so the car arrives when you actually need it.
- Fuel: the car comes clean with a full tank and goes back full — full-to-full, with no pre-paid tank option in between.
- Outside the delivery area: anything beyond those places is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site.
That last point is worth checking before you plan a delivery somewhere unusual — a manager will tell you honestly whether it can be done. For everything inside the delivery area, the arrangement is straightforward: you choose the address and the hour, and we work to them. It is also why the hand-over happens where you are, with the two cars on this page — the Bentley Continental GT Convertible at £837 per day and the Bentley Bentayga at £920 per day — brought to the address you name.
The delivery fee itself is not a figure on this page; it is set out in the rental agreement along with the deposit and the insurance excess, and a manager confirms all three when you book. Read those lines before you commit — they are the ones that decide what the trip really costs, and they are easier to question before the booking is fixed than after.
Bentley models available for rental in London
Two Bentleys sit on this page, and they are not two versions of the same idea: one is a four-seat convertible, the other a five-seat SUV. Both run the same 4.0 L 550 hp petrol engine and both are automatic with all-wheel drive, so the choice comes down to body, seats and what you plan to carry. On this page, Bentley car rental in London means picking between two clearly different cars, not scrolling a list.
Continental GT Convertible or Bentayga — which one to take
| Model | Class | Seats | Body | Engine | Power | Drive | Gearbox | Fuel | From per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bentley Continental GT Convertible | Convertibles | 4 | Convertible | 4.0 L | 550 hp | All-wheel | Automatic | Petrol | £837 |
| Bentley Bentayga | Luxury | 5 | SUV | 4.0 L | 550 hp | All-wheel | Automatic | Petrol | £920 |
The Continental GT Convertible is the 4-seat open car at £837 a day; the Bentayga is the 5-seat SUV at £920 a day. The Bentayga is the most expensive car on this page, the Continental GT Convertible the cheapest, and the daily gap between them stays the same whichever way you read the table. Pick by passenger count first and roof second — a weekend for two and a week for five are two different bookings, and swapping them after the fact means swapping cars.
What both cars share under the bonnet
Both run the same 4.0 L petrol engine producing 550 hp, with an automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive. That shared drivetrain is worth understanding before you choose, because it removes performance from the decision entirely — neither car is the fast one. All-wheel drive matters more than power in a wet, narrow city with tight turns, and grip beats top speed on a route that rarely opens up. Petrol is the only fuel on this page, and both take it from a full tank: we hand the car over full and ask for it back full, with any missing fuel and the refuelling service charged as set out in the rental agreement.
Is the Bentayga the better Bentley for London driving
The Bentayga's 5 seats and higher seating position make it the easier of the two for city traffic and for carrying passengers. The SUV body takes five adults plus luggage without anyone negotiating knee room, and the upright view over vans and buses helps in slow, dense traffic — the kind of driving that fills most of a stay inside the Congestion Charge zone, charged at £18 a day when paid on the day or in advance. The convertible's roof spends most of a trip up anyway, and the open-air argument works on the way out of town, not in the centre. If your plan is a run to Oxford or the Cotswolds with two people, the Continental GT Convertible earns its place; if it is Heathrow with a family and four suitcases, it does not.
Booking either model with Rent-Trip
We deliver to any address in the city and to London Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City and Southend airports, and the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed. Availability of a specific model is confirmed at that point rather than assumed from the page, so tell the manager which of the two you want and where you will be. Delivery outside those places is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site.
Bentley car rental in London rates per day and per week
Bentley car rental in London on this page runs from £837 to £920 a day, and longer bookings follow two fixed multipliers: a week is the daily rate times 6, a month times 21. Nothing else changes the arithmetic.
Daily rates for each Bentley
Hire starts at £837 per day for the Continental GT Convertible, and the Bentayga is £920 per day. Both figures are the daily rate for the car itself — the deposit, the insurance excess and any delivery fee sit in the rental agreement and are not folded into these numbers. The Convertibles class holds that one open car, the Luxury class holds the one SUV, and each class has a single price rather than a spread. The gap between the two models is the smallest line on the bill: over a week it separates one car from the other, not renting from not renting at all. Pick the cheaper of the two only if the roof matters more to you than the fifth seat.
Weekly and monthly Bentley hire across the city
- One week: from £5,022 for the Continental GT Convertible and from £5,520 for the Bentayga, calculated as the daily rate times 6.
- One month: from £17,577 for the convertible and from £19,320 for the SUV, calculated as the daily rate times 21.
- The multiplier is the whole discount: there is no separate long-stay rate to negotiate, and no other multiplier applies at any length of booking.
- Fuel rule: the car comes with a full tank and goes back with a full tank; the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.
- What is not included: fuel is not part of the rental rate, and who covers the congestion charge, the ULEZ charge and toll crossings is agreed when you book.
A month at the multiplier costs less than 30 separate days at the daily rate, which is why the Bentayga's monthly figure is worth checking against the convertible's before you decide the SUV is out of reach. In our experience, most enquiries that start as a weekend booking turn into five or six days once the delivery slot is fixed — and that extra day adds more to the total than the choice between the two models does.
Deposit, excess and delivery fees
Three lines decide what you actually pay beyond the rate: the deposit held against the car, the excess you carry if the car is damaged, and whether delivery to your address carries a charge. Read those three before you confirm — they are the difference between a headline rate and a final bill, and they vary with the booking rather than with the model. The deposit, the insurance excess and any delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement, not fixed on this page. Delivery to any address in the city and to the six airports we cover is part of what we arrange, and the address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed. Ask for the deposit and excess in writing at that point, while the booking can still be changed.
Bentley car rental in London
Every Bentley on this page is a self-drive booking, so the paperwork is about you as the driver rather than about the car. We keep it to the documents that the hire agreement actually names, and anything beyond that — the deposit amount, the insurance excess, the delivery fee — is set out in that agreement rather than fixed on this page. A manager confirms the details with you before the booking is fixed.
Driving on a foreign licence
- Full licence: you may drive in Great Britain — England, Wales and Scotland — on a full, valid foreign licence for 12 months from the date you last entered the country.
- What the page does not cover: the 12-month rule is the rule of the land, and it says nothing about an International Driving Permit or about a minimum age — those are agreed when booking.
- Left-hand traffic: traffic drives on the left and every car in our fleet is right-hand drive, so the first mile out of Mayfair or Canary Wharf is the one to take slowly.
The rules you drive under
The Highway Code sets the standard, and three of its rules matter most on a Bentley. Keep left unless signs or markings say otherwise (rule 160), and at roundabouts give way to traffic approaching from the right (rule 185) — the roundabout itself runs clockwise. Speed limits in built-up areas are 30 mph in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, 60 mph on a single carriageway, 70 mph on a dual carriageway and 70 mph on a motorway; on lit roads the default is 30 mph unless signs say otherwise, and many zones in the capital are signed at 20 mph, so read the signs rather than the assumption.
Holding and using a phone, satnav or tablet at the wheel is banned, even at a red light: £200 and 6 penalty points, and a driver who passed their test less than 2 years ago loses the licence. The alcohol limit in England, Wales and Northern Ireland is 80 mg per 100 ml of blood, 35 µg per 100 ml of breath and 107 mg per 100 ml of urine; in Scotland it is 50 / 22 / 67. Seat belts are compulsory where fitted, and children need a child seat until they reach 135 cm or turn 12, whichever comes first — up to £500.
Charges that are not the rental price
Two charging schemes set by TfL apply to driving any Bentley here. The Congestion Charge is £18 a day paid on the day or in advance, or £21 if paid by midnight on the third day after the trip, and it runs 07:00–18:00 Monday to Friday and 12:00–18:00 at weekends and on bank holidays, inside the Inner Ring Road; it is not charged from 25 December to the New Year bank holiday inclusive. ULEZ is £12.50 a day for non-compliant vehicles, 24 hours a day, seven days a week except 25 December, across all 32 boroughs, with the M25 outside the zone. A PCN for either is £180, reduced to £90 if paid within 14 days.
Who covers road charges, tolls and penalty notices on a rented car is not fixed here — it is agreed when booking, so raise it before you confirm rather than after the first charge lands.
Delivery for Bentley car rental in London
Bentley car rental with Rent-Trip does not start at a counter — the Continental GT Convertible or the Bentayga arrives at the address you give us, and you drive away from there. We bring the car to you. The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, so the hand-over happens where you actually are that morning.
Where we deliver a Bentley
- Any address locally: a hotel, a private flat, an office or a friend's house — we come to the door rather than asking you to cross the city first.
- London Heathrow Airport (LHR): the busiest of the six airports we cover, 30.3 km by road from the centre and roughly 45 minutes without traffic.
Outside those places delivery is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site — ask before you book rather than after.
Picking the car up and handing it back
The car comes clean and with a full tank, and it goes back the same way: full-to-full. If the tank is short at return, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. On a 4.0 L V8 that is not a trivial line: both Bentleys run petrol, and pump prices sat at £1.75 a litre for petrol on 19.10.2026, with diesel at £1.99 — a figure worth knowing even though neither car takes it. No other fuel option exists here — there is no pre-paid tank and no full-to-empty arrangement, so the simplest habit is to fill up at the last station before you come back. Collection works the same way as delivery: the address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager.
Charges that come with the route, not the car
Driving a Bentley out of the centre means passing through charging zones set by TfL. The Congestion Charge is £18 a day if you pay on the day or in advance, or £21 if you pay by midnight on the third day after the trip; it runs 07:00–18:00 Monday to Friday and 12:00–18:00 at weekends and on bank holidays, and is not charged from 25 December through to the New Year bank holiday inclusive. ULEZ is £12.50 a day for non-compliant vehicles, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, apart from 25 December, and covers all 32 boroughs. The Dartford Crossing (Dart Charge) on the M25 is £3.50 per crossing for cars, or £2.80 if you pre-pay. Who pays road charges, tolls and any penalty notice on a rental car is not fixed on this page — it is agreed when booking, so settle it with the manager at the same time as the delivery address.
A 550 hp convertible delivered to a Mayfair hotel at 09:00 and a Bentayga delivered to Heathrow at 06:00 are two different jobs, and the second one needs the details agreed with the manager when booking, not the hour before. In our experience the airport hand-overs go smoothest when the flight number goes into the booking — arrivals time is not the same as the time you clear the terminal, and a car waiting on the wrong estimate is time lost on both sides. Give the manager the flight, the terminal and a mobile number, and the meeting point stops being a guess.
Bentley car rental in London for the trip you are actually making
Bentley car rental here means choosing between an open four-seater and a five-seat SUV, then matching that choice to the route — a weekend out of the city reads differently from a week of meetings inside it. A Bentley is not one job, and the two cars on this page split cleanly between the trips people book them for.
A weekend away with the roof down
The Continental GT Convertible is the open car for two people and a soft bag each, and it is the cheaper of the two at £837 per day. Four seats means the rear pair is for short hops, not for luggage, so pack light and treat the boot as the only real storage. Routes that reward it start where the traffic thins: Oxford, Cambridge, the Cotswolds and Bath are the kind of runs where a convertible earns its keep, and Windsor or Brighton work as a single-day loop. Inside the Congestion Charge zone the roof stays up and the advantage disappears — that zone runs 07:00–18:00 Monday to Friday and 12:00–18:00 at weekends, at £18 a day paid on the day or in advance.
A week of meetings and airport runs
The Bentayga is the five-seat SUV at £920 per day, and it is the one to take when passengers and suitcases arrive together. Five adults fit without anyone negotiating knee room, the upright seating position helps in dense traffic, and the SUV body swallows airport luggage that a convertible cannot. Heathrow sits 30.3 km by road from the centre at roughly 45 minutes without traffic; Gatwick is 48.6 km and about 70 minutes; London City is the closest of the six at 14.5 km and around 33 minutes. For a week of that pattern, the weekly rate applies: daily times 6, so £5,520 for the Bentayga against £5,022 for the convertible.
Long stays and monthly bookings
A month is the daily rate times 21, which puts the Continental GT Convertible at £17,577 and the Bentayga at £19,320. That multiplier is the only long-stay arrangement on the page — there is no separate monthly rate to ask for and no other multiplier at any length of booking. In our experience a month-long booking is usually a single car kept at one address rather than a series of hires, so fix the delivery address once and leave it. Fuel is the line that grows with the stay: both cars run petrol, and pump prices stood at £1.75 a litre on 19.10.2026. Full-to-full is the only fuel option, so the habit to build is a fill-up before every return.
What to check in the Bentley car rental agreement in London
The rate is the easy part. Bentley car rental in London comes down to three lines in the rental agreement that decide what the booking actually costs, and they are all confirmed with a manager before anything is fixed — read them while the booking can still be changed.
Deposit, excess and delivery fee
- Deposit: held against the car for the length of the booking; the amount is set out in the rental agreement, not on this page.
- Insurance excess: what you carry if the car is damaged; also set out in the rental agreement rather than quoted here.
- Delivery fee: whether bringing the car to your address carries a charge is settled in the same document, so ask before the address is confirmed.
- Minimum age, licence conditions and payment method: agreed when booking, not fixed by this page.
Fuel, charges and penalties
The car is supplied clean with a full tank and must come back full; anything missing is charged with a refuelling service fee as set out in the rental agreement, and no pre-paid tank or full-to-empty option exists here. As for road charges, the Congestion Charge is £18 a day paid on the day or in advance, or £21 by midnight on the third day after the trip, and ULEZ is £12.50 a day for non-compliant vehicles, 24 hours a day across all 32 boroughs except 25 December. Who covers charges, tolls and penalty notices on a rented car is not stated on this page — it is agreed when booking, so raise it at the same conversation as the delivery address.
Common mistakes on a first Bentley booking
- Booking the convertible for four people with luggage: the rear seats are for short trips, and a family of four with cases needs the Bentayga.
- Assuming the model is locked in by the page: availability of a specific car is confirmed with the manager when the booking is agreed, not read off the site.
- Leaving the delivery address to the last hour: an airport hand-over needs the flight number and terminal agreed with the manager when booking, not on arrival.
- Forgetting the tank on return: full-to-full is the only rule, so plan the last fill-up rather than paying the refuelling service.
- Driving out of Mayfair on the first mile as if at home: traffic keeps left, every car is right-hand drive, and roundabouts run clockwise with priority to traffic from the right.
