Black BMW X1 from a front three-quarter

Black on Cream

Black BMW X1

The smallest BMW that still feels like one, with a cream cabin that costs nothing extra to look expensive in.

Rental in Los Angeles · from $102

A hundred and two dollars a day, and nobody at the valet can tell which end of the range it came from.

The X1 is the entry to BMW, and the interesting thing about this one is the cabin — cream hide against black paint, which is a specification usually two model lines further up. Five seats, a proper boot, and a footprint that makes Los Angeles parking a non-event.

01Short between the axles and upright at the back, which is the whole reason it fits where the rest of this issue does not.

Small BMWs are usually sold on the badge and forgiven their interiors. This one does not need forgiving: the seats are cream, the dashboard has real switches under the screen, and the driving position is low enough that it does not feel like a tall car pretending.

It is the sensible booking — the airport run, the week of meetings, the car you leave with a valet without thinking about it — for less than most of this issue costs in an afternoon.

Where can I rent a BMW X1 in Los Angeles?
Nizo Luxury rents the BMW X1 in Los Angeles — +1 (424) 303-6496. It is $102 a day; we bring it to your hotel or your home, or you collect it at no charge from our office on Robertson Boulevard.
How much does it cost to rent a BMW X1 in Los Angeles?
The black X1 is $102 a day. Five days is priced as a block rather than as five separate days, and twenty-one as another; the quote takes whichever combination is cheaper for your dates, and neither has to be asked for. Delivery to our Beverly Hills partner hotels is complimentary.
Is it big enough for luggage?
Five seats and a boot that takes a weekend for four. For a full week with the same four people, the X5 is the better call.

Refundable deposit
$500
A hold, not a charge, and released 5–7 business days after a clean return, longer only if there is damage to price.

Twenty-one is the floor, with a licence held two years. The higher band applies at or above a $1,500 deposit; this car is below it.
Shortest booking

No maximum. Delivery is complimentary at our Robertson Boulevard lot and our four Beverly Hills partner hotels; LAX is $150 both ways with the car in the airport parking structure or $300 both ways to the terminal, half that for one direction.

Renting the BMW X1: the short answers

Can I book the BMW X1 with a driver?
Yes. A chauffeur is from $100 an hour on a two-hour minimum, added to the car at its day rate — $502 for a four-hour evening in this car. No security deposit is taken on a chauffeured booking. The same car can be driven to the event and yours with the keys the morning after; the chauffeur service page has the runs and the hours.
What do I need to rent the BMW X1, and can international guests book?
A driver of 21 or over with a licence held at least two years — between 21 and 24 a young-driver fee of $50 a day applies on this car, and under 21 is considered case by case. A major credit card in the primary renter's name for the refundable hold, and cover for the car: your own full-coverage policy if it extends to a rental, or our Protection plan arranged with the booking. International guests rent on a passport and a home-country licence; no International Driving Permit is needed. The hold is released 5–7 business days after a clean return, longer only if there is damage to price. If the age floor or the cover is the thing in the way, the same car goes out with a driver instead — that booking asks neither of you.
How far ahead should I book the BMW X1, and can I change the dates?
There is no notice period: the calendar on this page shows the days it is free, and once a booking is paid a car that is free can be on its way to you in about an hour — same day included. Moving the dates is free, as often as you need, outside the last day before the start; a change inside it keeps one day's rate. What comes back if you cancel is set out in our terms and conditions.
Can the BMW X1 be delivered to my hotel, my home or LAX?
Yes. Delivery is complimentary to the Beverly Wilshire, the Four Seasons at Doheny, L’Ermitage and the Maybourne, and collection from our Robertson Boulevard office costs nothing. LAX is $150 both ways with the car in the airport parking structure or $300 both ways to the terminal, half that for one direction. Any other address is priced by distance from the office, $75 one way inside 10 miles, and itemised on the quote before you pay.
How many miles are included, and can I take the BMW X1 out of California?
Every car carries its own daily mileage allowance, and yours arrives in writing with the booking confirmation, together with the per-mile rate for anything over it. The car may leave the state — Las Vegas, Arizona, up the coast — as long as you tell us the plan in advance and keep the allowance in mind; it comes home to Los Angeles, since there is no one-way drop in another city.
What does a weekend in the BMW X1 cost, and can I rent it by the hour?
$204 for two days and $306 for three, before the Protection plan, tax and any delivery — there is no separate weekend rate, and one day is the minimum on a Saturday too. The day is the shortest self-drive booking; by the hour, the car goes out with a driver, from $100 an hour on a two-hour minimum.
