BMW 5 Series
Luxury Sedan
The 5 Series is built for the long drive rather than the short one. A quiet cabin, seats that are still comfortable at hour four and a boot that takes three large cases make it the sensible pick for airport-to-meeting runs and cross-country stretches. It is the most expensive class on this page, and what you are paying for is the time you spend inside it.

LuxuryIs this the right class
What the BMW 5 Series is good at.
Both sides of it. A class that suits every trip equally would not be worth choosing between.
Suited to
- Business travel where you step out of the car and straight into a meeting
- Long motorway routes with two or three passengers on board
- Trips where cabin quiet and ride comfort matter more than the daily rate
- Airport transfers carrying full-size luggage rather than cabin bags
Worth knowing
- A higher daily rate, and usually a higher security deposit than smaller classes
- A long saloon body needs more room in tight urban parking
- Fuel cost per mile is higher than the compact and hybrid classes

Seats is the manufacturer’s belted capacity. Large cases is what fits in the boot with every seat upright — cabin bags normally travel on top of that. Figures describe the class, and the car you collect matches them or betters them.
Before you book
The conditions that actually change the price.
Fuel policy, deposits, driver age and cancellation terms are what turn a good rate into a bad one. They vary by supplier and city, so here is how each one works rather than a number we cannot stand behind.
What the rate covers
The daily figure on this page is a starting point for the class, not a quote. Your price depends on the city, the dates, how long you keep the car and the rate type you pick. The full amount, with taxes and fees itemised, is shown before you confirm anything.
Model and class
You reserve a vehicle class, not a specific car — this is standard across the industry. What you collect will match this listing on seats, luggage and transmission, or be an upgrade at no extra cost.
Fuel policy
Policies differ by supplier and location. Full-to-full is the most common arrangement but it is not universal, so the policy that applies to your booking is stated before you reserve and repeated on your confirmation.
Security deposit
Suppliers place a hold on your card at pickup rather than taking a charge. The amount varies by class and location, and it is released once the car has been returned and checked.
Driver requirements
Minimum age is set by the supplier and the state, and is typically 21. Drivers under 25 are often subject to a young-driver surcharge. Bring a valid licence in the driver’s name and a payment card in that same name.
Changes and cancellation
Terms vary by rate and by supplier, so there is no single site-wide policy to quote. The terms that apply to your booking are listed before you confirm and repeated on your confirmation email.
Add-ons and extras
Child seats, additional drivers and similar extras are chosen at the reservation step, where availability and pricing for your location are shown. Child seats in particular are limited in number, so add them when you book rather than on arrival.
Tolls and penalties
Tolls, congestion charges, parking fines and traffic penalties picked up during the rental stay with you. Suppliers normally add an administration fee when they process one on your behalf.
