White Mercedes-Benz G 550 from a front three-quarter with the V8 badge on the wing

White on Red

White Mercedes-Benz G 550

Four hundred and sixteen horsepower under the least aerodynamic shape Mercedes has ever refused to change, with a cabin trimmed entirely in red.

Rental in Los Angeles · from $899

The G-Wagen in black is a statement about money. In white it is a statement about weather.

Same military chassis, the silhouette it has worn since 1979, same doors that shut like a safe — but a 4.0-litre V8 that has stopped shouting, a body in white, and a cabin lined in red from the seats to the door cards. It is the G-Wagen for people who want the shape without the soundtrack.

White Mercedes-Benz G 550 from the rear three-quarter with the spare wheel on the tailgate
01The spare still bolted to the tailgate, where it has been since 1979, and a door that swings sideways rather than lifting.

Mercedes has redesigned this vehicle exactly once, and even then it kept the exposed hinges, the grab handle on the passenger side and the sound the door locks make. What changed underneath is everything else: independent front suspension, a modern V8, and a cabin that shares its switchgear with an S-Class.

In white it reads completely differently from the black AMG. It is the one that turns up at the beach house rather than the club, and the red interior is the joke it keeps to itself until somebody opens a door. Five seats, real luggage space, and a driving position high enough to see over everything on the 405.

White is the practical half of that decision as well as the loud half: through an August afternoon on Sunset it comes back to you at roughly the temperature you left it in. It is also what makes the red interior sing — here it is the only colour in the car.

In black it is a statement about money.
In white it is one about weather.

    John C. · June 2023

  • Great experience! The car was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. It drove smoothly, was reliable throughout my trip, and pickup/drop-off was easy. Nizo was responsive and made the whole process seamless. I would definitely rent this car again and highly recommend it to others.

    Krissy B. · August 2026

  • Rented from here and the customer service was nothing short of flawless. Communication was seamless and when needing to extend for a couple more days it was sorted in a matter of minutes. Car was extremely clean and they were very hospitable at the showroom. I have for sure found a rental service which I will be using for future trips. Thanks for everything!

Queries

Where can I rent a Mercedes G550 in Los Angeles?
Nizo Luxury rents the Mercedes G550 in Los Angeles — +1 (424) 303-6496. It is $899 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 is a Mercedes G550 rental in Los Angeles?
The live daily rate is at the top of this page. 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. The G550 is the G-Class without the AMG engine — the same upright shape and the same presence, for less per day.
How much does it cost to rent a Mercedes G 550 in Los Angeles?
The white G 550 is $899 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.
What is the difference from the G 63?
The G 63 is the AMG version — more power, louder, black on black, and more per day. The G 550 is the same shape and the same cabin with a calmer engine, in white on red. Both turn the same number of heads.
How far ahead should I book it?
There is one white G 550 in the fleet and it is the car people book for a specific weekend. Name the date early and it is held for you.
Is the G 550 the same thing as a G-Wagon?
It is. G-Wagon is the name everyone outside Germany uses for it, and a fair number of people write it gwagon, in one word. The 550 is the standard-engined one — same body, same doors, same spare wheel bolted to the tailgate. Renting the white G-Wagon gets you all of that without the AMG exhaust announcing you to the street.
Does it take five people and their luggage?
Five seats, all in red, and a square load bay behind them: the shape that makes it look like a filing cabinet is the shape that swallows a weekend for five. The tailgate swings open sideways, so nose-in parking keeps the boot clear.
What else is worth a look if the G 550 is taken?
The AMG G 63 is the identical box with the loud engine and black paint. If it is the badge rather than the box you are after, the AMG GLE 53 is the same family with the rear roof pulled down into a fastback, and the AMG GT43 is the four-door that trades ride height for a roofline. All three are in the fleet.

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 Mercedes G550: the short answers

Can I book the Mercedes G550 with a driver?
Yes. A chauffeur is from $100 an hour on a two-hour minimum, added to the car at its day rate — $1,299 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 G550, 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 Mercedes G550 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 G550 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 G550 cost, and can I rent it by the hour?
$1,798 for two days and $2,697 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.
