Rent the Mercedes Benz S-klasse S400 Long 4-Matic 2023 in Courchevel

About this car

The S400 Long 4-Matic is the car to choose when the priority is arriving calm rather than arriving fast. The long-wheelbase cabin gives rear passengers genuine legroom, which matters on the drive up from Chambéry or Moutiers, where the D915's switchbacks make a shorter sedan feel cramped after half an hour. With 367 hp and 4-Matic all-wheel drive, it holds its line on wet or snow-treated tarmac without drama, and the extra length doesn't cost it composure through the tighter bends below Bozel. Five seats and a genuinely usable boot mean it copes with a driver, three passengers and the luggage that a multi-night chalet stay generates, without anyone negotiating over knee room.

It suits business travellers being collected from Geneva or Chambéry for a valley run to a 1850 or 1650 residence, and equally suits a couple who want one comfortable car for the whole stay rather than swapping between a transfer vehicle and a self-drive hire. The standard specification keeps things straightforward at handover: no configuration decisions, just a well-finished long-wheelbase S-Class ready to collect from the airport, a hotel or the residence itself. Rental runs at €500 per day against a €5,000 security deposit, and the car works equally well as a single-day airport-to-chalet transfer or as the resident vehicle for a longer stay.
