Black BMW 7 Series from a low front three-quarter on a palm-lined Beverly Hills street

Quilted And Quiet

Black BMW 7 Series

Five metres of saloon with the good seats in the back, for less than half what the German competition asks.

Every generation of 7 Series has been the car BMW tries things on first.

The 7 Series is where BMW puts the ideas before anybody else gets them, and it is the most car per dollar in this part of the fleet: five metres, quilted leather, and a back seat built to be sat in rather than filled.

01Five metres of it, and most of that length spent behind the front doors rather than in front of them.

The argument for a 7 in Los Angeles is the back seat: a long saloon with the seats reclined and the glass thick is the most comfortable way to cross this city, and that arriving in one says something different from arriving in an SUV of the same money.

Inside is where the money went. Diamond quilting front and rear, ambient light run along the dash in a strip, and a screen that curves towards the driver so the passenger never has to look at it. It is a specification that would be optional on most cars and standard here.

The 7 Series with a driver

The business day is the booking this car is built for — the back seat as the office between meetings; the investor circuit, Century City to Downtown to a lunch in Beverly Hills without anybody watching a parking structure clock; and the arrival block at LAX, where the driver is at arrivals with your name and the same car takes you to the hotel and the first meeting. With a driver it is two lines on one quote: the driver from $100 an hour on a two-hour minimum, and the 7 Series at the $230 it carries on this page. An evening block of four hours comes to $630, driver and car together; a business day of 8 hours is $1,030.

The driver waits between meetings — the waiting inside the block and the fuel are in the hourly line — and the car on the quote is this one, named, not a class with “or similar” after it. It is the same 7 Series you can take the keys to on this page, so a week can be self-drive with a driver on the one day that is all meetings.

How much does it cost to rent a BMW 7 Series in Los Angeles?

Is it a good car to be driven in?
It is the cheapest car in the fleet where the back seat is the better seat. Quilted hides, room to stretch out, and glass thick enough that the freeway goes quiet.
Can I rent a BMW 7 Series with a driver in Los Angeles, and roughly how much?
Yes, and the business day is what it is asked for. The driver is from $100 an hour on a two-hour minimum and the car is its own line at $230 a day, so an evening block of four hours comes to $630 for driver and car together, and a business day of 8 hours — the investor circuit, Century City to Downtown and back — is $1,030. Waiting between meetings inside the block and fuel are in the hourly line. It is a long executive saloon with the good seats in the back, named on the quote rather than a class with “or similar” after it.
Can I see the dates before I call?
Yes — the diary on this page is the live fleet calendar. If a date is open there, it is open.

Renting the BMW 7: the short answers

What do I need to rent the BMW 7, 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 7, 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 7 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 7 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 7 cost, and can I rent it by the hour?
$460 for two days and $690 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.
