The Complete Guide
There is something about a Bentley that occupies a very particular place in the world of luxury motoring a car that is unmistakably, unapologetically British, built by hand in Crewe to a standard that has not changed in its fundamentals since Walter Owen Bentley founded the company in 1919. A Rolls-Royce announces itself. A Bentley simply arrives composed, assured, and entirely without the need to explain itself to anyone.
It is precisely this character that makes Bentley one of the most requested marques in the Aspire Prestige fleet, and the first choice for a significant number of our clients across every type of occasion corporate travel, weddings, summer events, and private leisure. This guide covers the three Bentley models we offer, what makes each one suited to a different kind of journey, and how to choose the right one for yours.
Bentley Chauffeur Hire in London
Rolls-Royce is the obvious choice when you want to make a statement that cannot be missed. Bentley is the choice when the statement you want to make is about taste rather than volume when you want the person you are meeting, the venue you are arriving at, or the occasion you are attending to understand, without any ambiguity, that no detail has been left to chance.
In London specifically, Bentley has a long and natural affinity with the city's most important addresses. The marque is at home outside Claridge's on Brook Street, at the entrance to The Savoy on the Strand, on the wide approach to The Dorchester on Park Lane, and at the steps of Kensington Palace. It belongs at Wimbledon, at Henley, at Royal Ascot, and at Glyndebourne. It is the car that has been transporting Britain's establishment quietly and impeccably for over a hundred years.
At Aspire Prestige, all three Bentley models in our fleet are maintained and owned directly by us. Every vehicle is presented immaculately before each journey, and the chauffeur who collects you is a trained, licensed, and experienced member of our own team not a subcontracted driver.
The Bentley Bentayga
When Bentley launched the Bentayga, some purists were sceptical. An SUV bearing the Flying B? Within months of its debut, it was the bestselling ultra-luxury SUV in the world, and it has remained in that position ever since. The reason is simple: Bentley applied exactly the same philosophy to the Bentayga that they have always applied to their saloons. Every surface you touch has been thought about. Every material has been chosen with care. The ride, for an SUV of its size, is exceptional.
For chauffeur hire in London, the Bentayga has become one of our most-requested vehicles and for good reason. Its elevated roofline makes boarding and alighting significantly more comfortable, particularly for guests in formal dress, for clients with luggage, and for brides on their wedding day who want to emerge from the vehicle with complete composure. Its commanding road presence means it is immediately recognisable at any event entrance, while its interior offers genuine seclusion and quiet.
The rear cabin is beautifully appointed deep leather, carefully finished wood veneers, and the kind of attention to detail that reminds you this vehicle was built by craftspeople, not a production line. Four passengers travel in genuine comfort, with sufficient space for longer journeys without any sense of crowding.
The Bentayga is particularly well-suited to: corporate airport runs, Wimbledon and Henley, wedding day transport, family visits, and any occasion where comfort and presence need to work together.
The Bentley Flying Spur London's Grand Tourer
The Flying Spur is a very convincing car luxurious, balming, and stately enough to have assumed the mantle of Bentley's flagship saloon. Where the Bentayga sits high and commands its surroundings, the Flying Spur is low, sleek, and sculpted a car that looks as though it is moving even when standing still.
The latest model features new twin-valve adaptive dampers that have transformed the ride quality where earlier versions could occasionally feel firm on rougher surfaces, the current Flying Spur is described as feeling as though the road has been resurfaced beneath you. For London's mix of smooth Park Lane and less forgiving City streets, this is exactly the right combination the Flying Spur absorbs the city without isolating you from it.
The interior strikes a balance that no other car in this class quite manages. It is sporting in character there is a sense that the Flying Spur enjoys being driven yet the rear cabin is spacious, quiet, and beautifully finished. For a passenger, it offers the privacy and quality of a long-wheelbase saloon with none of the visual heaviness. For a driver, it is one of the most rewarding cars in the luxury segment to cover distance in. Top Gear summarised it well: "This is a fabulous advert for the luxury saloon as a breed."
The Flying Spur is particularly well-suited to: corporate appointments across the City, longer journeys to events outside London, evening theatre and dining runs, and any client who values the quality of the drive as much as the arrival.
The Bentley Mulsanne
The Mulsanne occupies a different tier altogether. If the Flying Spur is Bentley's grand tourer and the Bentayga its SUV, the Mulsanne is Bentley's formal statement the car that Bentley built when they wanted to demonstrate, without compromise, what handcrafted luxury actually means.
Production of the Mulsanne was concluded in 2020, making every example now available a collector-grade vehicle hand-built in Crewe, finished to a standard that even Bentley's own production standards today do not fully replicate. The rear cabin is among the most generously proportioned in any vehicle we operate. The long wheelbase provides a ride that is genuinely unhurried, and the combination of hand-stitched leather, hand-polished wood veneers, and the deep quiet of the cabin makes a journey in the Mulsanne feel unlike anything else we offer.
For clients who remember the Mulsanne from its production year or who simply want to travel in something that represents the absolute pinnacle of British coachbuilding this is the vehicle. It is not trying to compete with the modern world. It simply exists on its own terms.
The Mulsanne is particularly well-suited to: formal corporate occasions, black-tie events, diplomatic travel, wedding day transport, and clients for whom the journey itself is as important as any destination.
Choosing Between the Three Luxury Saloons: A Simple Guide
For the summer events season, Royal Ascot, Wimbledon, Henley Royal Regatta, Glyndebourne, all three work beautifully. The Bentayga is the most versatile for groups who need to board and alight easily at event entrances; the Flying Spur is the choice for a couple or individual who wants to arrive with a certain sporting elegance; the Mulsanne is for the Royal Enclosure guest who wants nothing whatever left to chance.
For corporate and business travel the Flying Spur is the most natural corporate companion. It is authoritative without being ostentatious, and its cabin provides genuine privacy for working on the move. The Bentayga is increasingly popular for executives who prefer an SUV, particularly for airport runs with luggage.
For weddings the Mulsanne and Bentayga are consistently our most-requested Bentley vehicles for wedding days. The Mulsanne for its sheer formality and cabin grandeur; the Bentayga for the practical advantage of its roofline and the ease it offers for bridal gowns. The Flying Spur for couples who want something with a little more energy about it.
For evenings in London restaurant dinners at Scott's or The Ivy, theatre at the Royal Opera House, private members' clubs in Mayfair the Flying Spur is the evening car. It suits the pace and mood of a London night out in a way that the more formal Mulsanne does not quite capture.
