Black Mercedes-Benz S 580 from a front three-quarter on a palm-lined Beverly Hills street

The Back Seat Comes First

Mercedes-Benz S 580 4MATIC

The saloon every other luxury car is measured against, with the V8, all-wheel drive and a cabin built for the person behind the driver.

Some cars are bought to be driven. The S-Class is bought to be arrived in.

The S 580 4MATIC is the V8 S-Class: a 4.0-litre twin-turbo with EQ Boost, 496 hp, all-wheel drive and about four and a half seconds to 60. This one is obsidian black over black leather, on multi-spoke wheels, photographed on a palm-lined street in Beverly Hills.

Black Mercedes-Benz S 580 in profile on a residential street with palm trees
01Full length on a Beverly Hills street: the long wheelbase, the flush handles and the palms in the paint.

The ride is the first thing anyone notices. The S-Class soaks up the joins on the 405 and the speed humps of a Bel Air side street the same way, and the cabin is quiet enough at seventy to hold a phone call without raising your voice.

Up front, a tall portrait screen sits in the middle of the dash, the driver has a digital cluster under its own hood, and a strip of ambient light runs along the dashboard and the doors. The seats are black leather with deep vertical pleats, and a glass roof stretches over both rows.

Behind, the bench has real legroom and its own climate, which is why the S 580 is the car for the LAX pick-up that has to go right, a week of meetings between Century City and Downtown, and a wedding where the couple leave in something that looks like the occasion.

Book it by the day: the deposit is held on the card rather than charged, and the car arrives hand-detailed at your hotel, your home or the terminal.

Quiet at seventy.
Calm at every speed below it.

More about the Black Mercedes S 580

The S 580 or a Maybach?

The S 580 is the S-Class most people mean: the V8, the long body, the back seat with room to stretch. If the day is about being driven in the most comfortable seat on the road, the Maybach GLS 600 has two reclining rear seats; if it is about the newest design, the BMW 760i is the 7 Series with the V8.

The terms, before you commit

Refundable deposit
$5,000
A hold, not a charge, and released 5–7 business days after a clean return, longer only if there is damage to price.
Protection plan
$225 a day
Priced off the deposit rather than the rate. Your own qualifying full-coverage policy takes this line out of the quote entirely.
Driver, 21–24
$175 a day
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 in it.
Shortest booking
24 hours
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.

This one is the same rate at every length — it carries no multi-day block, so three days is three times one day.

Renting the Mercedes S 580: the short answers

Can I book the Mercedes S 580 with a driver?
Yes. A chauffeur is from $100 an hour on a two-hour minimum, added to the car at its day rate — $1,100 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 Mercedes S 580, 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 $175 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 Mercedes S 580, 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 Mercedes S 580 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 Mercedes S 580 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 Mercedes S 580 cost, and can I rent it by the hour?
$1,400 for two days and $2,100 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.
