Fully insured hire with generous mileage allowance.

Flexible pick-up and drop-off in London.

Optional add-ons for your trip.

From March 2026, you can also book the Defender with a rooftop tent — the ultimate way to turn a weekend away into a proper adventure.

This isn’t just a car hire, it’s an experience. The Defender adds presence and character wherever it goes. Ideal for:

Photoshoots & film projects.

Weddings & special occasions.

Weekends away or countryside escapes.

Brand collaborations & events.

Hiring the Defender is not about convenience or speed. It’s about stepping into a piece of British motoring history and reconnecting with a more considered way of travelling.

The manual gearbox, commanding driving position and unmistakable presence give every journey a sense of occasion. It feels purposeful and honest, encouraging you to slow down and enjoy the road ahead rather than rush through it.

Rugged by design yet comfortable enough for longer distances, the Defender is as suited to winding country lanes as it is to long, unhurried drives. This is not luxury in the modern sense, nor is it about outright performance. It is about heritage, simplicity, and character — qualities that have become increasingly rare.

Availability is limited to ensure the Defender remains in top condition. Bookings are made via our enquiry form — once confirmed, you’ll be sent a Turo link to complete your hire securely. We recommend booking in advance, especially for weekends and events.

We offer transparent rates tailored to your needs:

Day hire: from £200.

Weekend hire (Sat-Sun): from £450.

Long Weekend hire (Thurs-Sun): from £600

Multi-day & brand bookings: on request.

A security deposit will be required.

Do I need special insurance?
No — you’re fully covered through our partner platform, Turo.

Is it hard to drive?
Not at all. It’s a manual and the steering is on the heavier side, but the Defender is designed to be simple and capable. As a later model, it’s significantly easier to drive than earlier Defenders.

Can I take it abroad?
At present, the vehicle is available for UK travel only.

What if I break down?
Full roadside assistance is included for complete peace of mind.
