The standard vehicle for UK chauffeur firms carrying a small group with luggage, from airport transfers to wedding parties. Its eight seats and separate luggage area suit it better than a saloon for groups.

Buy or hire the Phantom if...
Rolls-Royce's flagship limousine, bought and hired for weddings, state occasions and VIP chauffeur work rather than driven by the hirer. The long wheelbase and twin-turbo V12 prioritise a silent, cushioned ride over performance, which is exactly what chauffeur firms are selling.
