Five SUVs with little in common but their height: the Mercedes-AMG G 63, the Land Rover Defender OCTA, the Mercedes GLE 350 de, the Ford Bronco Outer Banks and the Audi Q5. All five are automatic, with all-wheel drive and five seats, and each has its own terms: this guide brings them together so you can compare them at a glance.
Right now none of these five SUVs can be booked: all five are off the rental fleet for the moment, and their catalogue listings say so. If you are interested in a particular one, write to us from the contact page and we will tell you when it is back. If you need a car for these dates, the performance cars and the vans can be rented today: their guides are at the end of this page.
The Mercedes-AMG G 63 is the classic of the range: a 585 hp twin-turbo V8, BRABUS wheels and bonnet, and an exhaust with a button to change its sound. This car wears satin black wrap, a brown and black leather interior and all its modifications are type-approved.
The Land Rover Defender OCTA is the best prepared to leave the tarmac: a 537 hp mild-hybrid twin-turbo V8, 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds, air suspension and up to 323 mm of ground clearance in off-road mode.
The Mercedes GLE 350 de 4MATIC is the one for long journeys: a 333 hp diesel plug-in hybrid with the Spanish DGT Zero Emissions label, panoramic roof, Burmester sound and climate control for the rear seats.
The Ford Bronco Outer Banks is the one that gets noticed: five doors in red with a grey roof, a 335 hp V6, 4x4 and the spare wheel on the tailgate. The Audi Q5 Black line, a 299 hp diesel with quattro drive, is the simplest way into a premium SUV.
The daily price includes 200 km for every 24-hour period, and extra kilometres are charged at €2.37 when you return the car. On the Q5 it is 300 km and each extra kilometre costs €1.16. All have a cap of 3,000 km per rental.
On the GLE and the Bronco there is no daily kilometre limit from the eighth day, although the cap per rental still applies.
Rentals of 8 days or more are discounted on every day: €50 off per day for 8 to 15 days, €100 for 16 to 22 and €150 for 23 to 30. The discount is already in the quote.
The damage excess is €380; what it covers is set out in the rental terms.
The deposit depends on the car: €3,000 on the G 63 and Defender OCTA, €750 on the GLE and Bronco and €500 on the Q5. On rentals of up to 4 days it is held on the card and released when you return the car: it is not charged. Above 4 days it is charged and refunded when the rental closes.
For the G 63, Defender OCTA and Bronco you must be 30; for the GLE and Q5, 25. All require 5 years of driving licence and two cards in the renter's name, one for the rental and one for the deposit. The documents are in the requirements guide.
At weekends the G 63, Defender OCTA and Q5 are rented from Friday to Monday, the whole window. On the GLE and Bronco the booking must include Saturday and Sunday together.
Collection and return are at the Príncipe Pío shopping centre (P.º de la Florida, 2), in Madrid, from 10:00 to 20:00. Bookings must be made at least 24 hours in advance.
Not right now. While a car's listing marks it as unavailable it cannot be booked; once it is back, it is booked like any other. To find out when, write to us from the contact page.
