If you know Tyneside, you know entrances matter — from the quiet dignity of Longbenton station to the neat terraces around NE12 — and that’s exactly the feeling we bring at Phantom Hire Longbenton. At Phantom Hire we specialise in chauffeur-driven Phantom experiences across Longbenton and nearby districts, making sure every trip feels considered, calm and utterly luxurious.
Browse our Fleet and Models and you’ll find everything from classic Phantom V and VI cars that suit period weddings and film shoots to Series I, Series II and the contemporary Series VII and Series VIII Phantoms. We offer both standard and extended wheelbase options in finishes like white, black, silver, champagne and elegant two-tone palettes. Each car is presented with handcrafted interiors, soft-close doors and that whisper-quiet ride people remember long after the day itself.
Series I through Series VIII are available for hire, with the latest Series 8 Phantom rental options for clients wanting the absolute newest refinement, while classic Phantom hire appeals for historic venues and cinematic projects. We list model specifics below so you can decide whether you need the regal presence of an older Phantom or the modern tech and comfort of a Series VIII.
| Model | Wheelbase | Typical use | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phantom V / VI | Standard | Traditional weddings, film & period events | Regal styling, classic chrome, vintage presence |
| Series I / II | Standard / Extended | Weddings, anniversaries, photoshoots | Timeless comfort, leather, wood veneers |
| Series VII | Standard / Extended | Corporate travel, VIP arrivals | Modern amenities, refined engineering |
| Series VIII | Standard / Extended | Red-carpet events, high-profile weddings | Latest tech, exceptional ride quality |
We know every event around here has its own rhythm — a wedding at a historic hall, a prom at a Newcastle venue, a corporate guest arriving for a meeting in the centre. Our list of services includes luxury wedding car rental, airport transfers, corporate travel and red-carpet arrivals, and we regularly provide chauffeur-driven Phantom vehicles for anniversaries and photoshoots. When discretion and presence both matter, the Phantom delivers.
For weddings, many couples choose white or ivory with coordinated ribbons and floral décor; for business or solemn events, black or silver suits the tone. If you’re after a coordinated fleet for bridal parties or family guests we can match ribbons and two-tone finishes so the whole arrival looks effortless.
We cover airport transfers with meet-and-greet, flight monitoring and luggage assistance — ideal for Newcastle Airport runs. For corporate days and VIP visits, black or silver Phantoms project authority and comfort, while the quiet ride keeps clients refreshed between meetings.
Sometimes a client wants the slightly theatrical: Phantom V and Phantom VI remain sought-after for traditional weddings and period shoots. Our classic Phantom hire options bring authenticity to historic venues and make for memorable photographs.
A Phantom is more than a prestige chauffeur car; it’s an experience. Imagine the soft close of the doors, the scent of fine leather, and the subtle confidence of arriving in a vehicle synonymous with excellence. Compared with the Ghost, Wraith, Dawn, Bentley Mulsanne, Bentley Flying Spur and Mercedes‑Maybach, the Phantom occupies the top tier for ceremonial presence and handcrafted luxury.

Booking is straightforward: tell us the date, finish and any theme preference and we’ll recommend a Phantom from our selection. We can also source other prestige marques if you need alternatives beyond the Phantom. Prices depend on model, wheelbase and journey length — transparent quotes, no hidden extras.
All vehicles carry appropriate insurance and our chauffeurs are fully licensed. We’ll advise on access and kerbside arrangements for each venue, and we can plan routes that avoid tight spots when using longer, extended wheelbase cars.
Extras such as coordinated ribbons, floral ties and chauffeur attire are available; we can also arrange matching cars for wedding parties so every photo feels composed and complete.
Peak wedding season and prom dates book quickly; to secure a specific model such as a Series VIII or a classic Phantom V we recommend booking as early as possible — ideally several months ahead for weekend dates.
