Doors That Open Backwards

White Rolls-Royce Cullinan

The only SUV Rolls-Royce has ever built, in white over mandarin orange, with rear doors hinged at the back.

Everything about a Cullinan is an argument for arriving slowly.

The Cullinan is the only SUV Rolls-Royce has built, and it is not really an SUV — it is a Phantom that will go up a driveway. Ours is white over mandarin orange, which is not a combination anybody orders by accident.

White Rolls-Royce Cullinan in profile at the kerb
01Five and a half metres of it, and almost none of the length spent on drama. From the side it is a saloon that has been told to stand up.

The rear doors are hinged at the back, which sounds like a detail until you use one. You step out facing the pavement instead of swinging a leg around a door edge, and the door closes itself at the touch of a button. Rolls-Royce calls them coach doors. Everybody else calls them suicide doors, which is exactly why Rolls-Royce calls them coach doors.

Inside is the part people photograph. Mandarin orange over black, across the seats, the door cards and the top of the dash, with veneer running behind the rear bench. It is a specification chosen by somebody who was not being careful with money, and it is the reason this one gets booked over the black car.

The particulars

Queries

Where can I rent a Rolls-Royce Cullinan in Los Angeles?
Nizo Luxury rents the Rolls-Royce Cullinan in Los Angeles — +1 (424) 303-6496. It is $2,500 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 Cullinan in Los Angeles?
The white Cullinan is $2,500 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 are coach doors?
Rear doors hinged at the back rather than the front, so they open away from the front of the car. You step out facing the pavement, and a button on the door pillar closes them for you. Rolls-Royce is the only maker still building them on a new car.
Is it different from the black Cullinan?
Same car, different specification. The black one is black over black. This one is white over mandarin orange, which is the one people book when the car is going to be photographed.
How far ahead should I book it?
It is one of the most-booked cars in the fleet through the summer. 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 Cullinan: the short answers

Can I book the Rolls-Royce Cullinan with a driver?
Yes. A chauffeur is from $100 an hour on a two-hour minimum, added to the car at its day rate — $2,900 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 Cullinan, 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 Cullinan 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 Cullinan 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 Cullinan cost, and can I rent it by the hour?
$5,000 for two days and $7,500 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.
