If you want an entrance that stops traffic in Clevedon, choose Rolls-Royce Phantom Hire. From quiet, chauffeur-driven transfers to headline-stealing wedding arrivals, the Phantom is as much about atmosphere as it is about transport: soft-close doors, that hush of V12 refinement, and leather that smells faintly of cedar and polish.
Our fleet covers a pleasing cross-section of Phantom lineage. Read on to see which Models suit specific needs — whether you prefer classic proportions or the latest Series VIII presence on the road.
The catalogue spans original Series I silhouettes through to Series II and VII favourites, and the modern Series VIII flagship. Each Series offers distinct character: older Series models carry a dignified, stately posture; the Series VIII refines ride, technology and safety for modern chauffeur-driven comfort.
Choose standard or extended wheelbase for different needs — extended is ideal for brides in full gowns or executives wanting that extra stretch of rear legroom. We list wheelbase options when you enquire so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
| Model | Era | Character |
|---|---|---|
| Series I | Classic | Regal, film-ready |
| Series VII | Modern Classic | Luxurious, comfortable |
| Series VIII | Current | High-tech, whisper-quiet |
Whether it’s a wedding, corporate trip, red-carpet arrival or an airport transfer, our Occasions work list matches cars to moments. Brides in the bandstand at the pier, directors arriving at a Clevedon conference, or a prom-night group stepping onto Marine Lake — the Phantom frames the moment.
For weddings we coordinate ribbons, floral touches and matching cars for family or the wedding party. White or ivory finishes remain the top choice for brides; black or silver are favoured for evening and corporate formality.
Clients booking for corporate travel expect discretion, punctuality and presentation. Our chauffeurs know routes to major local venues and Napton-style meeting points, offering a seamless service between Clevedon and Bristol, or direct runs to Exeter and London airports.
A hire should feel effortless from first call to final drop-off. The sing-song of local accents, the rhythm of traffic along the seafront, a warm greeting from a uniformed chauffeur — those little things make the whole experience. Every customer benefits from our local knowledge; we time airport runs around tide and traffic patterns so you never feel rushed.
Imagine the soft thud as the suicide door closes, the hush of cabin conversation, the scent of fine leather and the glow of ambient lighting. That sensory memory is why people search for Phantom hire UK or chauffeur-driven Phantom — it’s not just transport, it’s theatre.
Colour carries immediate meaning: white or ivory for weddings, black and silver for corporate presence, and bespoke two-tone finishes for clients wanting a personalised statement. We offer coordinated ribbons and floral styling to match venue palettes or bridal bouquets.
When you ask for a theme, we suggest colour pairings and ribbon placements that complement venue backdrops — whether that’s the green lawns of a manor house or the pale promenade of Clevedon’s seafront.
When people compare the Phantom with a Ghost, Wraith or Dawn — or rival marques like the Bentley Mulsanne, Flying Spur or a Mercedes-Maybach — they’re weighing presence versus pace, and craftsmanship versus practicality. The Phantom remains the ultimate expression of bespoke craftsmanship; others score in sportiness, value or modern performance.
The Series VIII emphasises silence and a feeling of being cocooned; a Ghost or Wraith may feel sportier, while a Bentley leans grand-tourer. For clients wanting pure ceremony, classic Phantom lines win hands down.
Classic Phantom V and VI models remain sought-after for heritage venues, film shoots and traditional weddings. Their proportions and chrome details photograph differently to modern cars and deliver a timeless aesthetic that many couples prefer for registry ceremonies.
Film productions, stately home weddings and vintage-themed events often request older Phantoms for authenticity. We can source classic models alongside modern Series VIII cars for mixed fleets.
Operating from Clevedon, we regularly cover nearby towns such as Nailsea, Portishead, North Weston, Weston-super-Mare and Leigh Woods, plus journeys into Bristol and the wider Somerset region.

For weekend weddings and summer dates in Somerset, book as early as possible — ideally three to six months. For weekday or off-season needs, a few weeks may suffice; late requests can sometimes be satisfied but choices are reduced.
Yes. Our chauffeurs hold the necessary licences and insurance for private hire. We supply driver details and verification where required by venues or security teams.
Modern Phantoms offer comfortable entry and spacious interiors, but they are not wheelchair-accessible without specialist adaptations. Tell us your mobility needs up front and we’ll propose suitable alternatives from our trusted partners.
If you’re planning photos after the ceremony, the pier and Marine Lake offer forgiving light in late afternoon. Narrow streets near the seafront can be tricky for longer wheelbase cars, so we often suggest a short walk to a photogenic spot to avoid tight manoeuvres. And if the wind picks up off the Bristol Channel, a quick dash to a sheltered terrace café keeps hair and hems in order.
Some historic houses in Somerset have uneven drives; we always preview routes where possible and plan pick-up/drop-off points that keep the car pristine and your party comfortable.
Arriving in a Phantom in Clevedon feels like pausing a good story mid-sentence — everyone leans in and remembers the moment.
