It is the car that arrives before the event begins. The vehicle whose appearance in the driveway or at the gate sets a tone for everything that follows. It is used at India’s largest weddings, at corporate events where the arrival of a principal requires a visual statement, and at the airports of the cities where India’s business elite moves — where the transfer between the aircraft and the destination is managed at the same standard as the flight itself.
Here is the complete guide to hiring a Rolls-Royce Phantom in India — where it’s available, what it costs, and what to know before you book.
Availability: Which Cities
The Phantom is available for hire across India’s primary business and event cities.
Mumbai: the largest fleet, the most competitive rates, and the highest volume of experienced operators. BKC, South Mumbai, and the airport corridor are the routes most frequently served.
Delhi: NCR availability is strong, particularly around the diplomatic quarter, the luxury hotel belt, and the wedding venue corridor in Rajasthan’s direction.
Udaipur, Jaipur, and the Rajasthan wedding destinations: seasonal availability that peaks significantly October through February. Pre-booking by a minimum of three weeks is essential during peak wedding season.
Bangalore and Hyderabad: growing availability driven by the technology sector’s premium event demand.
What It Costs
A Phantom for a half-day hire (4 hours) in Mumbai or Delhi: ₹35,000–55,000. Full-day (8–10 hours): ₹65,000–95,000. Outstation — for travel between cities or to event venues beyond the city boundary — is priced by kilometre plus overnight charges for the chauffeur.
Wedding packages — which typically involve multiple days, multiple vehicles, and specific event protocols — are quoted on programme rather than per-day rates.
The Chauffeur Is Not Optional
A Rolls-Royce Phantom is not a self-drive vehicle. Operationally, it is possible in some markets, but at an event or wedding, the presence of a uniformed, trained chauffeur who understands the event protocol is not a luxury addition to the hire.
It is the hire.
The chauffeur who knows which entrance to use, how to coordinate with the venue’s security team, and how to position the vehicle for the photograph that will be seen by everyone who attends — this is the element of the experience that makes the vehicle’s arrival what it should be.
What to Verify Before Booking
Model year matters in the Phantom range. The current generation (Series II) has a markedly different presence from older variants. Verify the model year before confirming.
Operator ownership vs. aggregation: the same challenge that applies across India’s luxury car market. Ask directly whether the vehicle being offered is owned by the operator. A vehicle sourced from a third party on short notice carries condition uncertainty.
At Hype Luxury, the Phantom is available across our India markets. The model year is current. The chauffeur is briefed. The vehicle is inspected before every deployment.
Because the arrival should be exactly what was imagined.
The car that arrives first sets the tone for everything that follows. It should be perfect.
