Jaguar car rental in London

Jaguar car rental with Rent-Trip means two cars — the F-Type S Cabriolet and the F-Type — from £404 a day, delivered to any address locally and to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City and Southend airports. Both are 2-seat petrol automatics with 380 hp, and the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.

Which Jaguars you can hire in London

Jaguar car rental in London means two cars: the Jaguar F-Type S Cabriolet and the Jaguar F-Type Coupe. Both are open to booking through Rent-Trip, both are two-seaters, and both run the same supercharged 3.0-litre V6. The difference between them is the roof.

The two F-Types on this page and what they share

Both cars are 3.0 L, 380 hp, rear-wheel drive, petrol, automatic, 2 seats. The F-Type range puts the same engine in both bodies: a supercharged V6 driving the rear wheels through an automatic gearbox, with 380 hp on tap and a 2-seat cabin. Neither car is a four-seater with a cramped bench — the F-Type is a strict two-seat layout, so passenger count never enters the decision. Petrol is the only fuel on the page, and automatic the only gearbox, which matters in a city where stop-start traffic is the norm. With 2 seats and a low, wide body, the boot is sized for soft bags rather than suitcases — check luggage space with the manager before a long trip, because a two-seat cabin fills up faster than a hatchback's.

F-Type S Cabriolet and F-Type Coupe side by side

F-Type or F-Type S Cabriolet — how to choose

• Body over badge: the open-top is the only real difference in the spec sheet — pick by roof, not by power.
• Roof down, city sights: the S Cabriolet opens up the drive past Mayfair and along the Embankment, and it costs the same £404 a day.
• Fixed roof, longer runs: the Coupe holds a quieter cabin at motorway speed and costs the same £404 a day.
• Same power either way: both deliver 380 hp from the 3.0 L V6, so the choice never changes performance, only the body.
• Two seats, always: neither car carries a third passenger, so plan for two people and their bags.

In our experience, most enquiries for Jaguar car hire in London come down to one question: open or closed. The daily rate is the same for both, and the difference is in how the car feels on a summer evening versus a January morning. Both are delivered to your address, and the booking is agreed with a manager — so you can settle the roof question before the car arrives.

What Jaguar car rental in London costs

Rates for Jaguar car rental are built from a single daily figure per model, and that figure is the only variable in the booking. Everything longer than a day follows from it by a fixed multiplier.

Daily rates by class

The Convertibles car and the Sports car both cost £404 per day. Each class holds exactly one car, so the class «from» price is the price of that car — no cheaper trim sits behind it. Both cost £404 a day, so the choice buys the fixed roof rather than more power: both run the same 3.0 L engine, 380 hp, rear-wheel drive, automatic gearbox and petrol tank. On this page the F-Type S Cabriolet and the F-Type Coupe cost the same, which takes money out of the decision.

Weekly and monthly rates for a Jaguar rental

A week starts at £2,424 and a month at £8,484, calculated as daily × 6 and daily × 21. A week in the F-Type S Cabriolet therefore runs from £2,424 and a month from £8,484, while the Coupe scales the same way from its own £404 day rate. Those multipliers are fixed: the weekly figure is the daily rate times six, the monthly figure is the daily rate times twenty-one, and no seasonal tariff replaces them.

In our experience the multiplier is what people misread, not the day rate — a customer comparing a seven-day quote against seven separate days expects a different sum than the one the formula gives. Ask the manager to show the daily figure and the multiplier side by side before the booking is fixed, so the total on the agreement matches what you worked out.

The deposit, the insurance excess, any delivery fee and any discount are set out in the rental agreement and are not part of the daily, weekly or monthly figure above. Fuel works on a full-to-full basis: the car comes with a full tank and is returned with a full tank, otherwise the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement.

Delivery and hand-over for your Jaguar car rental in London

Delivery is part of the booking: Rent-Trip brings the car to you, and the address, date and time are fixed with a manager before the booking is confirmed. That means you do not have to plan a trip to a depot on the other side of town on the morning you fly in.

Where we deliver a Jaguar

• Any address locally: home, hotel, office or a friend's flat — the exact point is agreed when the booking is fixed.
• Heathrow Airport (LHR): 84,481,178 passengers passed through in the last full year; the drive to the centre is 30.3 km by road, about 45 minutes without traffic.
• Gatwick Airport (LGW): 42,775,241 passengers in the last full year, 48.6 km by road from the centre, roughly 70 minutes.

We also deliver to Stansted, Luton, London City and Southend. Anything outside the delivery area and these six airports is arranged case by case and is not promised on the site, so ask before you book rather than after.

How the booking is agreed with a manager

The delivery address, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed. In our practice, fixing the address first is what avoids a re-quote later — the hand-over point is part of the booking, not an afterthought. The same conversation settles the parts of the rental that are not a single number on a page: the deposit, the insurance excess, any delivery fee and any discount are set out in the rental agreement, and the minimum rental age, the young-driver surcharge and the cards accepted are agreed when booking.

The car arrives clean with a full tank and must go back with a full tank. If it does not, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement; no pre-paid tank or full-to-empty option is offered. Two seats and a 3.0 L engine in the F-Type mean luggage space is worth checking with the manager before a long run — the boot question is easier to answer before the car is on its way than at the kerb.

Driving your Jaguar car rental in London legally

Driving on the left is the first thing to absorb: every car we supply is right-hand drive, and the Highway Code asks you to keep to the left unless signs or markings say otherwise (rule 160). Two charging zones sit on top of that, and both apply only if you drive into them.

Congestion Charge and ULEZ on your Jaguar

• Congestion Charge: £18 a day when paid on the day of travel or in advance, £21 if paid by midnight on the third day after; it runs 07:00–18:00 Monday to Friday and 12:00–18:00 on Saturday, Sunday and bank holidays, and is not charged from 25 December to the New Year bank holiday inclusive.
• ULEZ: £12.50 a day for vehicles that do not meet the standard, 24 hours a day, seven days a week except 25 December, across all 32 boroughs of London; the M25 itself is outside the zone.
• Euro standards: petrol cars and vans need Euro 4 or better, diesel Euro 6, motorcycles Euro 3 — a 3.0 L F-Type is a modern petrol unit, but the TfL vehicle checker will confirm it by registration number.
• Penalties: a PCN is £180 for either scheme, reduced to £90 if paid within 14 days.
• Who pays: charges, tolls and penalty notices are agreed when booking, not assumed.

Tolls, speed limits and the rules of the road

Dartford Crossing on the M25 costs £3.50 per crossing for a car, or £2.80 if you pre-pay, and payment is due by midnight the following day; the Blackwall and Silvertown tunnels charge £4.20 at peak and £1.55 off-peak with Auto Pay. Speed limits are 30 mph in built-up areas, 60 mph on a single carriageway, 70 mph on a dual carriageway and 70 mph on a motorway — but many zones here post 20 mph signs, and the signs always win. The single most useful habit in our experience is reading the signs, not the satnav: a 20 mph plate can appear two streets after a 30 mph one, and a camera follows shortly. Holding a phone at the wheel, even at a red light, is £200 and six points, and a hands-free kit must not block your view. Seat belts are compulsory where fitted, and children stay in a child seat until they reach 135 cm or turn 12, whichever comes first.

Documents, drink-driving and roundabouts

Full foreign licences are accepted for 12 months from your last entry into Great Britain. The alcohol limit is 80 mg per 100 ml of blood in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and 50 mg in Scotland. At roundabouts you give way to traffic approaching from the right and travel clockwise.

Licence, documents and fuel for a Jaguar car rental in London

An F-Type is a 380 hp rear-wheel-drive car, so the paperwork and the fuel rule matter as much as the keys. Both are settled before the car reaches you.

Driving on a foreign licence

• Full licence, 12 months: you can drive in England, Wales and Scotland on a full, valid foreign licence for 12 months from your last entry into Great Britain.
• What we do not state: the licence category, an IDP, an age limit and a minimum experience are not published on this page — those are agreed when booking.
• Left-hand traffic: you keep to the left unless signs or markings say otherwise (Highway Code, rule 160), and at roundabouts you give way to traffic approaching from your right (rule 185).
• Speed signs: built-up areas default to 30 mph, single carriageways 60 mph, dual carriageways and motorways 70 mph — but many zones here are signed 20 mph, and the sign always wins.
• Phone behind the wheel: holding and using a phone, satnav or tablet is banned even at a red light — £200 and 6 penalty points, and a driver who passed under 2 years ago loses the licence.
• Alcohol: England, Wales and Northern Ireland set 80 mg per 100 ml of blood, 35 µg per 100 ml of breath, 107 mg per 100 ml of urine.
• Seat belts: a belt is required where fitted; children stay in a child seat until they reach 135 cm or turn 12, whichever comes first — the fine runs to £500.

Fuel rule for both F-Types

Both cars run on petrol, automatic, rear-wheel drive, 3.0 L and 380 hp, and the tank arrangement is identical for each. You receive the car with a full tank and bring it back full — full-to-full. If it returns short, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. No pre-paid tank and no full-to-empty option is offered. In our practice the Cabriolet buyer forgets this most often: an open-top weekend eats fuel faster than the trip computer suggests, so fill up before you leave the city rather than hunting for a station on the way back.

What to settle with the manager

The two cars on this page sit together on price — the Cabriolet and the Coupe both at £404 a day — so the fuel rule is worth knowing before you plan a long run out of the city. Your hand-over point, the date and the time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, and the same call is where the paperwork questions belong. Ask about the licence and the deposit then — the deposit, the insurance excess and the delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement, not quoted as a figure here. Fixing the address first avoids a re-quote later, because the hand-over point is part of the booking rather than an afterthought.

Is Jaguar car rental in London worth it for a road trip

Jaguar car rental in London gives you a two-seat, 380 hp rear-wheel-drive car with a 3.0 L supercharged engine, and that shapes every trip you plan around it. There is no rear bench, no third door and no practical second row for luggage. What you get instead is a car that turns a drive into the point of the day rather than the gap between two points. In our experience, people who book the F-Type are not trying to move four people across a city — they want one good drive, and they want the car waiting at the address they are staying at.

Where the F-Type earns its rate

• Open-top driving in the city: the F-Type S Cabriolet is the Convertibles class car at £404 a day, and a drop-top is the one body style that changes how a summer evening through central streets feels.
• Fixed-roof touring: the F-Type Coupe sits in the Sports class at £404 a day — the same money for a roof that stays put at motorway speed and a quieter cabin over a long run.
• Two people, properly: both cars are 2-seat petrol automatics with rear-wheel drive, so passenger count never decides the choice — only the roof does.
• Weekend and week-long trips: a week starts at £2,424 and a month at £8,484, so the daily rate is the only variable — longer bookings are priced by the multiplier, not by a separate tariff.

What to weigh before you book

Two seats is the constraint that matters most, and it shows up in small ways. Soft bags fit the boot far better than a hard-shell case, and a long trip for two needs less luggage than most people pack by default. On the road, the car is a rear-wheel-drive 380 hp machine on a left-hand-drive-free, left-hand-traffic network — the power is easy to use and easy to overuse, and the 30 mph limit on lit urban roads arrives faster than you expect in a car this quick.

The other charges to know about have nothing to do with the car. The Congestion Charge is £18 a day if you pay on the day or in advance, £21 if you pay by midnight on the third day after the trip, and it applies 07:00–18:00 Monday to Friday and 12:00–18:00 on weekends and bank holidays inside the Inner Ring Road. ULEZ is £12.50 a day for non-compliant vehicles, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, across all 32 boroughs, with only 25 December exempt. Who covers road charges, tolls and penalty notices on a hired car is agreed when booking — settle it with the manager before you drive, not after a PCN lands.

Who this rental suits

If your trip is two people, a few days and a route you actually want to drive, the F-Type is the right tool and the rate is honest about what it buys. If you need four seats, a large boot or a car for the school run, no Jaguar on this page will do it — and a two-seat sports car will cost you more in compromises than it saves in style. Book the roof you want, confirm the delivery address, date and time with a manager, and let the drive be the reason for the trip.

Jaguar car rental in London for a weekend away

A weekend is where the F-Type makes most sense: two people, two soft bags, a route chosen for the drive itself. Both cars are 2-seat petrol automatics, so the luggage rule is the same for each — pack soft, not hard-shell, and confirm the boot question with the manager before the car is on its way.

A Saturday and Sunday in the F-Type S Cabriolet

The Cabriolet is the Convertibles class car at £404 a day, and an open roof changes what a short trip is for. A run out of the city and back over two days is priced at the daily rate times two, and the roof is down for as much of it as the weather allows.

Fixed-roof touring suits the F-Type Coupe better: £404 a day in the Sports class, the same money for a cabin that stays quiet at motorway speed. Either way, the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed, so the car is waiting where you are staying rather than at a depot across town. In our practice, weekend bookings are the ones where the hand-over point matters most — a Friday evening address and a Monday morning one are rarely the same place. Both cars run the same 3.0 L supercharged V6 with 380 hp, so the difference between a weekend in the Cabriolet and a weekend in the Coupe comes down to the roof.

What a weekend actually costs beyond the day rate

The day rate covers the car and nothing else: the deposit, the insurance excess, any delivery fee and any discount are set out in the rental agreement, and fuel runs full-to-full — the car arrives with a full tank and goes back full, or the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement. Both are petrol cars, and a 3.0 L supercharged V6 with 380 hp does not sip it. Know the Congestion Charge too if the route crosses the Inner Ring Road: £18 a day paid on the day or in advance, £21 if paid by midnight on the third day after, running 07:00–18:00 Monday to Friday and 12:00–18:00 at weekends. Who covers road charges and penalty notices on a hired car is agreed when booking.

Comparing the two Jaguar car rental in London classes

The page holds two classes with exactly one car each, so the comparison is short and the decision is narrow. Convertibles means the F-Type S Cabriolet at £404 a day; Sports means the F-Type Coupe at £404 a day. Both run the same 3.0 L supercharged V6, 380 hp, rear-wheel drive, automatic gearbox and petrol tank, and both seat two. With no daily gap, the choice is a fixed roof, not more power or a bigger cabin.

What changes between Convertibles and Sports

• Rate: £404 a day for each — there is no difference on price.
• Roof: the Cabriolet is the only open-top on the page; the Coupe's roof stays put at motorway speed and keeps the cabin quieter over a long run.
• Body: one Convertible, one Coupe; nothing else in the sheet differs.
• Everything else: 2 seats, 3.0 L, 380 hp, rear-wheel drive, automatic, petrol — identical on both rows.

Which class fits which trip

What to check in the rental agreement

The daily rate is the base figure published on this page. Everything else that shapes the final total lives in the rental agreement, and the booking call with a manager is where you read it.

The parts that are not the day rate

• Deposit and insurance excess: both are set out in the rental agreement and are never quoted as a figure on this page.
• Delivery fee and any discount: also set out in the rental agreement — ask on the call rather than assuming the day rate is the whole cost.
• Minimum rental age, young-driver surcharge and cards accepted: agreed when booking.
• Licence category, IDP and minimum experience: not published here — agreed when booking.
• Road charges, tolls and penalty notices: who covers them is agreed when booking, not assumed from the day rate.

Fuel and the return condition

The fuel rule is fixed and the same for both cars: the car is supplied with a full tank and must be returned with a full tank. If it comes back short, the missing fuel and a refuelling service fee are charged as set out in the rental agreement, and no pre-paid tank or full-to-empty option is offered. A 3.0 L supercharged V6 with 380 hp drinks faster than the trip computer suggests, so fill up before the last leg rather than hunting for a station near the hand-over point. The car also comes clean with a full tank — worth knowing if the return address differs from the delivery one, since that change is agreed with the manager.

Long stays and monthly Jaguar car rental in London

For Jaguar car rental in London a month is priced as the daily rate times twenty-one, so the F-Type S Cabriolet starts at £8,484 for a month and the F-Type Coupe scales the same way from its own £404 day rate. The multiplier is fixed and no seasonal tariff replaces it — a week is daily times six, a month is daily times twenty-one, and those are the only two longer-booking statements that apply.

Living with an F-Type for a month

A month in a two-seat sports car is a different proposition from a month in a hatchback, and the constraint is luggage rather than seats for a couple travelling light. Soft bags fit the boot far better than hard-shell cases, and a month of packing rarely fits two people's worth of hard luggage behind a 2-seat cabin.

The rate itself does not change with the season: the daily figure is the only variable, and the multiplier does the rest. In our experience, long-stay customers misread the multiplier more often than the day rate — ask the manager to show the daily figure and the multiplier side by side before the booking is fixed, so the total on the agreement matches what you worked out.

Two things shape a long stay. The first is fuel: full-to-full on collection and return, with both cars on this page running on petrol and a 380 hp supercharged V6 that rewards a light right foot. The second is the charging zones, which apply across a month as much as a weekend — ULEZ is £12.50 a day for vehicles that do not meet the standard, 24 hours a day, seven days a week except 25 December, across all 32 boroughs of London, with the M25 itself outside the zone. A modern petrol F-Type is checked by registration number on the TfL vehicle checker, and the Congestion Charge runs £18 a day inside the Inner Ring Road. Who covers those charges on a hired car is agreed when booking.

Common mistakes with Jaguar car rental in London

Most of the friction in a Jaguar booking comes from three things: the roof decision, the luggage, and the assumption that the day rate is the whole bill. All three are settled before the car arrives.

Four things to get right before the car arrives

• Booking four seats: neither the F-Type S Cabriolet nor the F-Type carries a third passenger; a two-seat sports car will not stretch to a family.
• Packing hard-shell cases: a 2-seat cabin with a low, wide body takes soft bags far better — check luggage space with the manager before a long trip.
• Assuming who pays the charges: road charges, tolls and penalty notices on a hired car are agreed when booking, not after a PCN lands.
• Leaving the address to the last minute: the delivery address, date and time are agreed with a manager before the booking is fixed.

Reading the road, not the satnav

Speed limits are 30 mph in built-up areas, 60 mph on a single carriageway and 70 mph on dual carriageways and motorways, but many zones here post 20 mph signs and the sign always wins.
