How to choose the right Mercedes for your hire

The question our team is asked most often is not which Mercedes is best but which one is right for a specific trip. The answer depends on three variables: how many people are travelling, what the journey involves, and what matters most about the vehicle itself.

For a single driver or couple who want the most involving drive in the fleet, the C63 AMG or G63 AMG covers that brief. For a family of five with luggage heading on a long weekend, the GLE or GLS is the sensible starting point. For a group of six or seven who need to stay together, the GLS or Jet Class removes the friction of multiple vehicles.

For corporate clients who need a vehicle that presents correctly in every setting from a City car park to a country house hotel, the S-Class or E-Class is the default recommendation. For clients operating inside the ULEZ zone on a multi-day hire, the EQC removes the running cost entirely.

If none of those starting points fits exactly, call our team and describe the trip. We will recommend the right vehicle from across the 4×4 and SUV hire fleet or the wider Starr range rather than directing you toward a vehicle that does not suit the requirement.

Hire requirements, delivery, and pricing across the Mercedes fleet

All Mercedes hire with Starr requires a full UK or EU driving licence held for a minimum of two years, a minimum age of 25, and a clean driving record. High-performance AMG variants including the G63, C63, and AMG GLS 63 carry standard insurance criteria which our team confirms at the time of enquiry.

A refundable security deposit is taken at collection and comprehensive insurance is included across every hire package. We deliver to any address in London and to locations across the UK including Glasgow, Cardiff, Belfast via ferry ports, Leeds, Exeter, and Edinburgh.

Hire is available from a single day upwards. We monitor competitor pricing across the market daily and guarantee the lowest rate on Mercedes car hire in London and the UK. If you find an equivalent vehicle and specification cheaper elsewhere and we cannot match the price, we will give you 10 per cent off your next booking.

Performance and SUV

The Mercedes G63 AMG hire is the most requested vehicle in the Mercedes fleet. Its 577 bhp twin-turbo V8, iconic boxy silhouette, and immediate road presence make it the default choice for clients who want an SUV that makes a statement as well as covering ground.

The Mercedes-Maybach GLS hire takes a different approach: a four-seat executive cabin, E-Active Body Control suspension, and a Burmester 3D sound system in a full-size SUV body that suits long-distance travel as much as urban arrival.

The Mercedes GLS hire carries seven across three genuinely usable rows, with 489 bhp from the V8-powered GLS 580 available for groups who need space and pace in equal measure.

The Mercedes GLE hire is the mid-size option: five seats, AMG GLE 53 available at 435 bhp, and a footprint that works as well on a narrow Devon lane as it does on the M25.

Executive saloons

The Mercedes S-Class hire is the benchmark executive saloon. Double-glazed windows, E-Active Body Control air suspension, rear airbags, and a 12.3-inch OLED display set the standard that every other saloon in the segment works toward.

For clients who want the Maybach interior in saloon form, the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class takes the same platform and rebuilds the rear cabin around two individual reclining seats and a level of acoustic isolation that has no equal in a production saloon.

The Mercedes E-Class hire sits one step below: smaller, more agile, with AMG E53 and E63 variants available for clients who want performance as well as refinement.

The Mercedes C-Class hire is the most driver-focused saloon in the range. The AMG C63 S E Performance produces over 670 bhp from a plug-in hybrid four-cylinder, making it one of the most technically advanced compact executive cars available on self drive hire.

MPV and group travel

The Mercedes Jet Class hire is the premium people carrier in the fleet. Six individual seats, fold-out tables, individual climate zones, and a full-width panoramic roof make it the nearest thing to business class travel available on four wheels.

The Mercedes V-Class hire offers the same group-travel logic in a more flexible package: up to seven passengers across three rows, configurable seating for luggage-heavy trips, and a footprint that navigates city streets more easily than the longer Jet Class.

Electric

The Mercedes AMG EQC hire is the electric SUV in the fleet. Twin motors, all-wheel drive, 408 bhp, and a real-world range of approximately 200 miles place it well ahead of most electric hire vehicles at this price point. It is ULEZ exempt and charges via any CCS rapid charger, making it the practical choice for clients who drive regularly through London’s clean air zones.
