Mercedes S-Class with Chauffeur in Paris

Mercedes S-Class LWB  ·  S 580 e and S 450 e plug-in hybrid · S 400 d

The sedan every chauffeured journey is measured against: a long wheelbase, a rear cabin laid out for two, and, in its S 580 e version, a drive that can run on electricity alone.

The car

The reference, in its long version

The Luxury Sedan category is operated in two long-wheelbase sedans, and this page is about the first of them. The Mercedes S-Class carries 3 passengers and 2 large suitcases, and it is the car most often requested by name. Ask for it when you enquire and we will hold it for your journey.

Mercedes S-Class LWB

In its S 580 e version, a 6-cylinder petrol engine of 3.0 litres works with an electric motor, for 510 hp combined. The 28.6 kWh battery allows around 100 km in fully electric mode. Full leather upholstery, in cream or black depending on the car, a panoramic sliding sunroof and the Mercedes MBUX system. The S-Class is also operated as an S 450 e plug-in hybrid and, depending on availability, as an S 400 d, with the same cabin and the same equipment.

No car stays in the fleet beyond 4 years. Every vehicle is replaced on a 4-year cycle, which is why the S-Class that collects you is a current model, with current equipment, and not a sedan that has been in service for a decade.

Choosing well

Is this the right car for you?

Choosing a vehicle is rarely a question of the badge on the bonnet. It is a question of who travels, what they carry, and what the day asks of them. Here is who the S-Class is for.

The car your guest expects

For many travellers the S-Class is simply what a chauffeured car is. Sending one to an arrivals hall or a hotel entrance needs no explanation, and it is understood in any language.

The journey is part of the meeting

The long wheelbase gives the rear cabin the legroom of a small office, and the S-Class has the quietest cabin of our sedans. Take a call, prepare a note, or say nothing at all for forty minutes.

You travel alone, or as two

3 passengers fit; 2 travel in genuine comfort, with the rear seats reclined and the centre position free. This is the car for an executive and a colleague, or for a couple.

Consider another vehicle if

We would rather tell you now than on the morning itself.

4 passengers or more, or 3 with 3 large suitcases.

Executive Van (V-Class XL) ›

You prefer a firmer, more contemporary character, black leather and a glass roof lit after dark.

Luxury Sedan (BMW 7 Series LWB) ›

You travel as two, the journey is short, and you would rather arrive in the car that draws no attention at all.

Executive Sedan (E-Class) ›

You prefer a higher seating position, and you carry more luggage than a sedan holds.

Luggage

What actually fits in the boot

Luggage is the single most common surprise on the day of travel. Numbers on a website are easy to write and hard to live with, so here is what this car carries, stated plainly. By a large suitcase we mean the hold format, up to 75 cm; by a small one, the cabin format. Both travel in the boot.

3 passengers with 3 large suitcases will not travel comfortably in this car. If that is your party, the Executive Van is the better answer, or a second vehicle. We will say so when you enquire, before you book, rather than at the kerb.

Travelling with skis, golf bags, instruments or trade-show material? A Cargo Van can follow your vehicle and carry the overflow. See the Cargo Van.

Soft bags, briefcases and coats travel with you in the rear, beside your seat. The centre rear seat can take a garment bag when only 2 passengers travel.

Indicative rates

Our rates for the Mercedes S-Class LWB

Every figure is inclusive of VAT and covers one vehicle with its chauffeur. The amount agreed in writing before your journey is the amount invoiced.

Every rate includes your chauffeur for the whole of the service, fuel, tolls and parking, onboard Wi-Fi and still water, full insurance and a licensed vehicle. At the airports, 60 minutes of waiting are included, counted from the moment the aircraft lands rather than from the scheduled arrival time, which is what matters when a flight is late. At every other pickup, 15 minutes are included.

Rates are in euros. They are a point of departure, not a quotation: the final figure depends on the date, the hour, the exact addresses and the duration of the service. Journeys beyond the Paris ring road are charged per kilometre in addition. A written quotation is always issued, and agreed, before a booking is confirmed.

We do not offer discounts. Our rates are the same for everyone on the same service.

Questions

Before you book

How many passengers and suitcases does the Mercedes S-Class take?
The Mercedes S-Class LWB carries up to 3 passengers, excluding the chauffeur, with 2 large suitcases and 1 cabin bag. 2 passengers travel most comfortably. For 4 or more, or for 3 passengers with 3 large cases, the Executive Van (Mercedes V-Class XL) is the appropriate vehicle.
Can I be sure of the S-Class rather than the BMW?
Yes, if you ask for it. The S-Class and the BMW 7 Series LWB share the Luxury Sedan category and the same standard of preparation and service. State the S-Class when you enquire and we will reserve it for your journey. The make is confirmed to you in writing with your booking.
Is the S-Class electric?
The S-Class is operated as an S 580 e or S 450 e plug-in hybrid and, depending on availability, as an S 400 d. On the S 580 e, a 6-cylinder petrol engine works with an electric motor, and the 28.6 kWh battery allows around 100 km in fully electric mode, according to the manufacturer. If you would rather travel in a hybrid, mention it when you enquire, and the version is confirmed to you with your booking.
What is the difference between the S-Class and the BMW 7 Series?
Both are long-wheelbase sedans in the Luxury Sedan category, with 3 seats, 2 large suitcases and the same service. The S-Class has the softer, quieter character, leather in cream or black and a panoramic sliding sunroof. The 7 Series is firmer and more contemporary, in black leather, with a screen for the rear and a glass roof lit by LED. The choice is a matter of taste.
How long will the chauffeur wait for me?
At Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Orly and Le Bourget, 60 minutes of waiting are included, and they run from the moment the aircraft touches down, not from the arrival time printed on your ticket. A delayed flight therefore costs you nothing. At any other pickup, in the city or elsewhere, 15 minutes are included. Beyond that, waiting is charged at the hourly rate of the vehicle and is always confirmed with you before it applies.
Is the price fixed in advance?
Yes. A written quotation is issued before any booking is confirmed, and the figure agreed is the figure invoiced. Fuel, tolls and parking are included. Only a change you request on the day, such as an added stop or an extended duration, alters the amount, and it is confirmed with you before it applies.
Can I keep the Mercedes S-Class for a full day in Paris?
Yes. A vehicle at your disposal is booked for a minimum of 4 hours, with 20 kilometres included per hour, and the chauffeur remains with you throughout. A full day of 8 hours starts at €1,480 inclusive of VAT. It is the usual arrangement for a day of meetings, a roadshow, or a family visiting the city.
Can the Mercedes S-Class travel outside Paris?
Yes, anywhere in France and beyond. Journeys outside Paris are charged on the transfer rate plus a per-kilometre rate for the distance beyond the ring road, tolls and parking included. Reims, the Loire châteaux, Deauville, Normandy and Brussels are regular destinations. Long journeys may involve a meal allowance or an overnight allowance for the chauffeur, both stated in the quotation.
