Undeniably the most popular Mercedes Benz car rental, the S Class has been around for over a decade. Offering an impressive combination of power, technology and elegance, the 2008 version has been remodeled and revamped to meet a rising consumer desire for additional technology, comfort and style. And, with five different models to choose from, it’s hard to imagine you won’t find one that suits your driving needs.

The S63 uses the same 7-speed automatic transmission as the S550 models while the S65 uses a 5-speed.

All the models in the S Class come standard with eight airbags, brake assist and stability control.
