What is the Mercedes Jet Class and why do people book it in London?

If you have been browsing chauffeur cars in London, you’ve probably come across the Mercedes Jet Class. It looks like a van, but don’t let that fool you. Inside, it’s designed like a private jet.

So, what exactly is it—and is it the right fit for your next trip?

These are all the things you need to know before you book one.


It is not a van. It is a lounge on wheels.

The Mercedes Jet Class is based on the Mercedes V-Class body. But the interior? Fully customised.

Picture this:

  • Two or four rear seats that recline like business class
  • Individual tables for working or relaxing
  • LED ambient lighting
  • Privacy dividers and blackout blinds
  • Built-in fridge for drinks and snacks
  • Wi-Fi and TV screens
  • Power outlets for your laptop or phone

It is the kind of ride where you can take a Zoom call, pop open a bottle of sparkling water, and relax—without lifting a finger.


Who is it for?

If you are travelling with colleagues, clients, or even family, the Jet Class works perfectly. It is popular with:

  • Executives doing back-to-back meetings in London
  • VIP guests heading to or from private airports
  • Brides, grooms, and entourages during weddings
  • Small groups travelling in comfort

You won’t need multiple cars or compromise on style. Everyone’s in one sleek, black Mercedes with a chauffeur who handles the details.


Is it different from the V-Class?

Yes—very.
The standard V-Class is already comfortable, but the Jet Class goes a step further. It is fully customised, often hand-built, with premium leather seats and more tech than most hotel rooms.

If the V-Class is premium, the Jet Class is private aviation for the road.


Do you need a chauffeur?

Absolutely.
Jet Class vehicles are always chauffeur-driven. They are not available as self-drive because of their bespoke build and executive use.

Your driver takes care of parking, traffic, and timing, so you focus on what matters.
