Mercedes
Hire

There are no hidden costs with Starr. Your quote itemises the full price before you pay. The only extras that can apply are ones you choose or cause, such as miles beyond your allowance at [£2 per mile], an additional driver, delivery [available across London on request], or an administration fee of [£50] for any fines.

A refundable security deposit of [£2,500, or £5,000 for the G63] is held on a card in the driver's name for the duration of a self drive hire. It is released within [7 to 10] working days of the car being returned in the same condition. Chauffeur hire requires no security deposit.

Yes. Each day of self drive hire includes [100] miles, and additional miles are charged at [£2 per mile]. If you are planning a road trip, tell us your route and we will build the right mileage package into your quote.

Be flexible. Weekdays often have better availability than weekends, weekly hire carries the best daily rate, and a few hours of chauffeur hire can cost less than a full day if you only need the car for an event. Booking direct with us means one clear quote with no comparison site mark up.

Weekdays and quieter months outside summer, Christmas and major London events usually offer the widest choice. If your dates are flexible, tell us and we will suggest the best value option.

For weekdays, short notice is often possible. Summer weekends, weddings and major events book up quickly, so reserve a few weeks ahead if your date is fixed, especially for the G63 and V-Class.

[We accept all major credit and debit cards and secure payment links.] The security deposit for self drive hire must be held on a card in the main driver's name.

Choose by the job. The G63 AMG is for presence and weekends, the S-Class for business and being driven in comfort, and the V-Class for groups of up to eight with luggage. Tell us the occasion and number of passengers and we will recommend the right one.

Choose the G63 SUV for road presence, a commanding driving position and all weather confidence. Choose the S-Class saloon for a quieter, more refined ride and the best rear seat experience. For groups, the V-Class beats both.

A Mercedes gives you long range with no charging stops, a quieter luxury cabin and more luggage space in the S-Class or V-Class. A Tesla suits drivers who want an all electric trip and are happy to plan around charging. Starr offers both, so message us on WhatsApp for help choosing.

The V-Class seats up to eight with full luggage and is available self drive or chauffeur driven. For larger VIP groups, our Sprinter Executive is a private jet on wheels, with a full entertainment system and chauffeur, [from X per hour with chauffeur].

For an occasion, business trip or long drive, usually yes. The difference in comfort, refinement and how you arrive is immediate, and with prices from £395 per day the step up is smaller than most people expect.

Self drive Mercedes hire with Starr is available from age 25, with a full licence held for at least 2 years. The G63 AMG requires drivers aged [25 or 28] and over. Chauffeur driven hire has no age requirement, because our chauffeur drives.

Yes, international licence holders are welcome. Bring your passport with your licence, and we may ask for an International Driving Permit if your licence is not in English. Send us your details before you travel and we will confirm your eligibility.

Fully comprehensive insurance is included on every Starr self drive hire, so you do not need your own cover. An excess of [£5,000] applies if the car is damaged. On chauffeur hire, the car and driver are covered by our commercial insurance.

It is optional. Your liability is capped at the [£5,000] excess, and [one sentence on whether excess reduction cover is available] We explain the options before you drive so you can choose with confidence.

Stop safely and call our 24/7 support line straight away, and do not arrange any repairs yourself. Your liability is limited to the insurance excess of [£5,000], subject to the terms of your hire agreement.

Pull over safely and call our 24/7 support line. We will arrange assistance straight away. Routine maintenance and servicing are always our responsibility, not yours.

At handover we walk around the car with you, record its condition and note the fuel and mileage, and you are welcome to take your own photos. The same check happens on return, so there is never a dispute about what was already there.

Yes. The S-Class, G63 and V-Class are all superb long distance cars. Tell us your route and approximate mileage when you enquire so we can include the right allowance. [one sentence on whether a UK hire can leave the UK]

[one sentence on one way hire] Tell us where you want to start and finish and we will confirm the options and any delivery or collection cost in your quote.

Yes. Starr arranges luxury car hire and chauffeur services across Europe, including France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Germany and Monaco. Message us on WhatsApp with your destination and dates and our team will arrange it.

Yes. Starr offers luxury car hire in Ireland, so you can drive the Wild Atlantic Way in a Mercedes. The S-Class or G63 makes a superb companion for the coast road. Message us on WhatsApp with your dates and starting point.

It depends on the model. The G63 and S-Class take petrol, the V-Class runs on diesel, and the EQV is fully electric. Every car is handed over with a full tank and should be returned full, and we confirm the fuel at handover.

Tell us the date, locations and timings, and whether you want to drive or be driven. The chauffeur driven S-Class is ideal for the couple, the V-Class carries the wedding party together, and the G63 makes a bold arrival. We coordinate every timing around your day.

Yes. An S-Class or G63 turns a honeymoon road trip into part of the celebration, with weekly rates and the right mileage built in. For roof down days, the SL 43 is perfect for two.

Yes. Starr supports business travel with the S-Class, which is available self drive or chauffeur driven, and the V-Class for teams. We cover airport meet and greet, roadshows and client collections, often at short notice.

Leasing is usually cheaper per month over two to four years, but it ties you into a long contract. Renting has no commitment, and our weekly and monthly rates give you the car only when you need it. Starr offers hire rather than leasing, with no finance approval process.

For occasional use, renting is far cheaper. Buying means depreciation, insurance, servicing and tyres on a car you may only need for a few days a year. Renting gives you the right Mercedes for each occasion with none of those costs.

Straightforward. [one sentence] For self drive, you need to be 25 or over with a full licence held for 2 years, photo ID and a deposit card in your name.

Be wary of prices far below the market, vague insurance terms, requests for large payments before you receive booking documents, and companies without a real address. Starr is based at Berkeley Square House, Berkeley Square, Mayfair, London W1J 6BD, rated 5.0 from 168 Google reviews, and every quote sets out the price, deposit and insurance in writing.
