Luxury Sedan

Luxury Sedan with Chauffeur in Paris

Mercedes-Benz S-Class LWB  ·  BMW 7 Series LWB

The car most often chosen for the journeys that carry weight: a first meeting, a board dinner, a departure before dawn.

The category

One standard, two cars

The Luxury Sedan is operated in two long-wheelbase saloons. Both carry three passengers and two large suitcases, and both are prepared, equipped and chauffeured to the same standard. If you have a preference, state it when you book and we will hold that car for you.

No car stays in the fleet beyond four years. Every vehicle is replaced on a four-year cycle, which is why the car that collects you is a current model, with current equipment, and not a saloon 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 this one is for.

You travel alone, or as two

Three passengers fit. Two 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.

The journey is part of the meeting

The long wheelbase gives the rear cabin the legroom of a small office. The car is quiet enough to take a call, prepare a note, or say nothing at all for forty minutes.

You want presence, not display

A black long-wheelbase saloon is understood in front of any palace, any bank, any private terminal. It is recognised everywhere and ostentatious nowhere, which is precisely the point.

Consider another vehicle if

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

You are four or more, or you are three with three large suitcases.

Executive Van — V-Class XL

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 saloon 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.

Three passengers with three 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 two passengers travel.

Indicative rates

Our rates for a Luxury Sedan

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.

Paris ↔ OrlyAirport transfer
from€295

Full day at your disposal8 hours, 20 km included per hour
from€1,480

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, sixty 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, fifteen 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 Luxury Sedan take?
The Luxury Sedan, a Mercedes-Benz S-Class LWB or a BMW 7 Series LWB, carries up to three passengers, excluding the chauffeur, with two large suitcases and one cabin bag. Two passengers travel most comfortably. For four or more, or for three passengers with three large cases, the Executive Van (Mercedes V-Class XL) is the appropriate vehicle.
Will I be given the Mercedes or the BMW?
Either, and both are held to the same standard of preparation, equipment and service. If you have a preference, tell us when you enquire and we will reserve that car for your journey. The 7 Series is operated as a 750e plug-in hybrid and as an i7, which is fully electric: guests who would rather travel without emissions can ask for the i7 by name. Where no preference is stated, the vehicle is allocated according to availability on the day, and the make is confirmed to you with your booking.
What is the difference between the Executive Sedan and the Luxury Sedan?
Both carry up to three passengers and two large suitcases in the boot. The Luxury Sedan is a long-wheelbase car: markedly more rear legroom, individual reclining rear seats, independent rear climate control and a quieter cabin. The Executive Sedan is a Mercedes E-Class, the corporate car of the House, and the one chosen when a journey is to pass entirely unnoticed. The chauffeur and the standard of preparation are identical, and the choice between the two is a personal one.
How long will the chauffeur wait for me?
At Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Orly and Le Bourget, sixty 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, fifteen 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 Luxury Sedan for a full day in Paris?
Yes. A vehicle at your disposal is booked for a minimum of four hours, with twenty kilometres included per hour, and the chauffeur remains with you throughout. A full day of eight 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 Luxury Sedan 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.
