At Phantom Hire we specialise in chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce Phantoms for anyone in and around Wigan who wants an arrival that feels effortless and memorable. Whether you’re booking a Phantoms for a wedding in WN1 or an executive airport transfer to Manchester Airport, the soft-close doors, scent of fine leather and whisper-quiet ride make the moment unmistakable.
Our clients in Wigan, Ince in Makerfield, Hindley, Blackrod, Ashton in Makerfield and Westhoughton choose us for a wide set of days and nights: weddings, proms, anniversaries, VIP events, corporate travel, red-carpet arrivals, photoshoots and airport transfers. When the day matters, a Occasions brief usually includes timing for photography, a discreet chauffeur, and space for bridal parties or guests—practical details that sit neatly beneath the prestige.
Our Fleet covers Series I, Series II, Series VII and the latest Series VIII Phantoms, in standard and extended wheelbase layouts. You’ll find finishes in white, silver, black, champagne and bespoke two-tone combinations, each with handcrafted interiors and the kind of refined engineering that makes long journeys feel restorative rather than tiring.
If you need more than a Phantom we can source other prestige marques such as the Ghost, Wraith, Dawn, Bentley Mulsanne, Bentley Flying Spur and Mercedes-Maybach — always with professional chauffeurs and full service coordination.
When people ask why choose a Phantom over other ultra-luxury models we’re honest: the Phantom is the ultimate expression of craftsmanship and presence. Compared to the Ghost and Wraith it reads as more ceremonial; versus Bentley models it leans more towards serene refinement than sporting character. That said, for some clients a Bentley Flying Spur or a Mercedes‑Maybach suits a different tone—we’ll help you pick what feels right for your event.
Colour choices set the tone: white or ivory for classic weddings, black and silver for corporate and understated elegance, and two-tone or bespoke finishes for moments that demand theatre. We can advise on coordinated ribbons, floral décor and matching fleet arrangements for bridal parties, groomsmen and family guests.
Alongside modern Series models we also cover classic Phantom V and Phantom VI examples for traditional weddings, historic venues and film productions. These older models — often sought under terms like “luxury saloon” or “prestige chauffeur car” — bring a regal silhouette and timeless style that still turns heads around Wigan town centre and beyond.
Hiring a Phantom is as much about the invisible details as it is about the visual moment: discreet professionally-trained chauffeurs, route planning around local events, and care for punctuality whether you’re near WN2 or heading out towards Manchester. Picture the soft close of a rear door, the gentle hush of a long wheelbase cabin and the confidence of arriving in a car synonymous with excellence — that’s the experience we deliver.
We manage the whole journey from your first enquiry to the final drop-off. If a client requests extra time for photographs at Haigh Hall, or a short stop in Wigan town centre, we plan it to feel effortless and unhurried.
