What our chauffeur service in the United Kingdom includes
Every quote we send for car rental with driver in UK covers the car and your chauffeur's time, plus fuel.
Road tolls are included too, so the M6 Toll or the Dartford Crossing costs you nothing extra.
You see the full price before you confirm, and that's the amount you pay for the trip you book. If plans fall through, cancellation is free up to 24 hours before travel.
Business Class means a Mercedes E-Class or BMW 5 Series. First Class steps up to a Mercedes S-Class or BMW 7 Series, and you can request a hybrid or electric car.
Each of our cars takes 3 passengers on leather seats and is cleaned inside and out before every pickup.
Your whole booking stays with dedicated coordinator, and our team.
On the day, your chauffeur adjusts the route if a meeting overruns or you decide to add a stop on the way. Extra hours or miles are charged at your quoted rate.

How car hire with driver in UK works at 8Rental
To book, send the pickup address and time. Our coordinator replies quickly with a fixed quote, then plans backwards from your arrival time and picks a legal waiting spot at each stop.
Your chauffeur's name and mobile number reach you 24 hours before pickup, and the car is in position 15 minutes early.
For car and driver hire in United Kingdom airports, send us your flight number and we track it live, so a late landing just moves the pickup time.For small group we provide minibus hire in the UK.
We run most bookings in 2 formats. A point-to-point transfer (one journey between 2 addresses) suits airport runs. Large group of travellers we serve with private bus rental in the UK.
As-directed hire (the car and chauffeur stay with you by the hour) suits meetings and touring.
Rent a car with driver in United Kingdom or drive yourself
Driving yourself in the UK means keeping left and handling roundabouts, often in a manual hire car. City centres bring their own charges as well.
Central London costs £18 a day to drive in, with us, charges like this are already in the quote.
The Highway Code advises a break of at least 15 minutes every 2 hours, so a 400-mile drive from London to Edinburgh takes about 8 hours.
In the back seat, that time goes on work or sleep. Rail wins on that route at about 4.5 hours.
For a Pembrokeshire hotel or a Highland estate, though, the train usually means a change and a taxi at the end.
Metered taxis charge for time spent in traffic, and app fares climb at busy times. An 8Rental transfer quote stays fixed, whatever the M25 does on the day.
The private driver in United Kingdom regions you've never visited also knows which junctions jam at school-run time, and the way round them.
Cities We Serve
Long distance car hire with driver and day trips
On a roadshow (back-to-back meetings in several towns), 2 colleagues can see 4 clients across the Midlands and the North in 1 day and prepare for each one on the road.
Holidaymakers hire a driver for long distance UK trips as well, such as Heathrow to the Lake District in about 5 hours.
Others book a golf week around St Andrews with a Mercedes S-Class on call.
The tip our chauffeurs give for the M6 north is a stop at Tebay Services in Cumbria. A farming family runs it, and the food beats the usual motorway fare.
If you hire a car with driver for a day, your chauffeur waits between stops.
A day along Northern Ireland's Causeway Coast runs about 140 miles there and back from Belfast, at your own pace.
Event planners reserve cars well before Royal Ascot week, and the December party season books up fast, so it's worth asking early.
To book car hire with driver in UK, send us your route and dates. We'll reply with a fixed quote and a timed plan for the whole trip.
