Black Rolls-Royce Dawn head-on with the roof down, red leather seats visible

Open Air

Black Rolls-Royce Dawn

Four seats, a red leather cabin and the only Rolls-Royce that lets Los Angeles all the way in.

Rental in Los Angeles · from $2,200

Every other car on this page is a room you sit inside. This one takes the ceiling off and dares the city to look.

The Dawn is the open Rolls-Royce — a four-seat convertible on a 6.6-litre twin-turbo V12, rear-wheel drive, with a roof that folds away in twenty-two seconds and a cabin trimmed in red. It is the least discreet way to be quiet ever built.

Black Rolls-Royce Dawn convertible with the roof down, seen from the front three-quarter
01Roof stowed, the shape changes entirely — a long bonnet, a short deck, and nothing at all above the waistline.

Rolls-Royce calls it the most social of its cars, which is corporate language for the only one where the people outside are part of the evening. With the roof down there is no glass between the cabin and Sunset Boulevard, and the red hide that looks discreet in photographs turns out to be visible from a block away.

Mechanically it is a Wraith that has stopped hiding. Five hundred and sixty-three horsepower, sixty in four and a half seconds, and a body stiffened enough that losing the roof costs nothing in composure. What it costs is anonymity, and that was never the point of a Dawn.

It is also the wedding getaway car: the roof goes down for the send-off, and the confetti has somewhere to land. The whole day, from the arrival to the exit, is on our Rolls-Royce wedding car rental page.

A coupé keeps the evening inside.
This one hands it to the street.

Queries

Where can I rent a Rolls-Royce Dawn in Los Angeles?
Nizo Luxury rents the Rolls-Royce Dawn in Los Angeles — +1 (424) 303-6496. It is $2,200 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 Rolls-Royce Dawn in Los Angeles?
The Dawn is $2,200 a day. The day rate is the whole of it on this car — there is no weekly or monthly block, so a longer booking is priced day by day. Delivery to our Beverly Hills partner hotels is complimentary.
Is it a proper four-seater with the roof down?
Yes — two full seats behind, not the token bench most convertibles call rear seats. It is the reason people book the Dawn over a two-seat exotic when the evening involves other people.
How far ahead should I book it?
There is one Dawn in the fleet, and open-top cars go first on the weekends worth having. Name the date early and it is held for you.

The terms, before you commit

Refundable deposit
$2,000
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 Rolls-Royce Dawn: the short answers

Can I book the Rolls-Royce Dawn with a driver?
Yes. A chauffeur is from $100 an hour on a two-hour minimum, added to the car at its day rate — $2,600 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 Rolls-Royce Dawn, 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.
Can the Rolls-Royce Dawn 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 Rolls-Royce Dawn 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 Rolls-Royce Dawn cost, and can I rent it by the hour?
$4,400 for two days and $6,600 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.
