If you want to drive, rent the Continental GT. If you'd rather sit in the back, book the Bentayga with a chauffeur. That's most of the decision, because Bentley rental in Malaysia at Grandpride means two cars:
- the Bentley Continental GT, a four-seat coupé, self-drive only, at RM 4,400 a day;
- the Bentley Bentayga Mansory, a five-seat SUV, which you can drive yourself at RM 11,000 a day or book with a chauffeur from RM 800 an hour.
Self-drive days include 120 km and Basic Cover. Both cars are on the Bentley list, which shows the days each one is free.
| Continental GT | Bentayga Mansory | |

| Included with self-drive | 120 km a day, Basic Cover | 120 km a day, Basic Cover |
The Continental GT, for a long drive
Bentley has built the Continental GT in Crewe, England, since the early 2000s. It's a grand tourer: two doors, four seats, made to cover long distances quickly and in comfort. Next to a Ferrari it's heavier, quieter and softer, and it's at its best on a long expressway run or a sweeping road with someone in the passenger seat.
So don't spend your day in it crawling between malls. Point it north towards Ipoh or Penang, or south to Melaka. The 120 km included each day is a full day round the Klang Valley and not much more, so for a trip like that add 50 km or 100 km a day, or take unlimited mileage. Our guide to the drive from KL to Penang gives you an idea of the distance involved.
Four adults with luggage is a squeeze in a coupé. If that's your group, take the Bentayga.
The Bentayga Mansory, two ways
The Bentayga was Bentley's first SUV, shown in production form in 2015. Grandpride's car wears a body kit by Mansory, a German firm that modifies luxury cars, so it looks quite different from a standard Bentayga. People will look at it.
Drive it yourself for RM 11,000 a day and you have a large, heavy five-seater for a family occasion or a weekend in the hills. Watch the width in older car parks.
Or book it with a chauffeur:
- by the hour from RM 800, for 3 to 23 hours, with 10% off bookings over 12 hours;
- hours starting between 7 pm and 11 pm cost 30% more, and between 11 pm and 7 am, 50% more;
- one way to or from KLIA or KLIA 2 for a flat RM 2,500, day or night, for trips under 80 km.
There's no flat Genting Highlands fare for this car. Whether a highlands trip can be booked by the hour, or one way priced on distance, is still to be confirmed CHECK: can the Lexus LM and Bentayga be booked to Genting Highlands, by the hour or one way priced on distance?.
The chauffeured Bentayga seats five and takes two large suitcases. Online chauffeur bookings need at least two days' notice, and you can book for someone else, in which case their name and number go to the chauffeur. The Bentayga chauffeur page prices your trip. If the passengers are clients, our page on VIP chauffeur service in Kuala Lumpur covers how those arrivals are planned.
Which one for the occasion
For a wedding, the Bentayga with a chauffeur. The couple sit in the back, nobody has to park, and the car waits between venues. Weekend dates go first, so book early. Wedding car rental in Kuala Lumpur lays out the other choices, including the Rolls-Royces and the S-Class.
For a launch, gala or award night, the Bentayga again, by the hour, so it waits outside and takes you home. See chauffeurs for events and galas.
For a long weekend for two, the Continental GT with unlimited mileage.
For a birthday or anniversary where you're driving, either car, delivered to your door. Delivery is free within 10 km of the Petaling Jaya showroom and RM 100 elsewhere in the Klang Valley.
Before you drive one away
Read the excess first. On a car this valuable it matters more than the day rate. Basic Cover is included, and under it you pay for damage up to the standard excess. A Loss Damage Waiver lowers that figure. Grandpride Protection+ takes it to zero for damage and theft, with glass and tyres included. The price of each for your Bentley shows while you book, and our guide to rental car insurance and excess explains the three levels.
The deposit and licence rules are CHECK: deposit amount for the Bentleys, minimum driver age and licence requirements.. Beyond that, the usual Grandpride rules apply: only the named renter drives, the car comes back with the fuel level it left with, and it stays in Peninsular Malaysia (no Singapore, no Thailand). You reserve online with a RM 50 booking fee, which comes off the total, and pay the rest in store or in person.
Can you take the Continental GT with a driver? No, it's self-drive only. Driving either car up to Genting yourself is fine; add extra mileage for the climb and back.
Boleh sewa Bentley dengan pemandu? Boleh, Bentayga Mansory sahaja, bermula RM 800 sejam (minimum tiga jam).
