Who books the Rolls-Royce Cullinan with driver
People who want a Rolls-Royce and have the suitcases to go with it. A family flying in for a wedding week. A guest travelling with a stylist and two garment bags. A couple heading from DXB to a beach resort in Ras Al Khaimah for the weekend. Of the cars in our ultra-luxury fleet it is the most practical, and the only one that sits up high.
Lounge Seats or Individual Seats
Rolls-Royce builds the Cullinan with two rear layouts. Lounge Seats are a bench for three. Individual Seats are two separate seats with a console between them. We list the Cullinan for three passengers, which assumes the bench. If the car for your date has Individual Seats it takes two, and we tell you that before you confirm.
On the current Cullinan (Series II, shown by Rolls-Royce in May 2024), rear passengers can stream from two devices to the rear screens, each on its own, pair Bluetooth headphones and run seat massage, heating and cooling from the rear interface. The 18-speaker Bespoke Audio system runs on a 1,400-watt amplifier.
The seat is higher than in the Ghost or Phantom, so you step across into it. The rear doors are hinged at the back, like the saloons.
Rolls-Royce Cullinan chauffeur luggage: three large cases
This is the reason to book it. Plan on three large suitcases plus two or three cabin bags. Four big cases, or a golf bag or pram on top of three, means a second car or a move to the Cadillac Escalade, which takes six passengers and four large cases.
| Cullinan | Rolls-Royce Ghost | Cadillac Escalade | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Passengers | 3 (2 with Individual Seats) | 3 | 6 |
| Large suitcases | 3 | 2 | 4 |
| Seating position | High, SUV | Low, saloon | High, SUV |
| Book it for | Luxury arrivals with luggage | Weddings and celebrations | Families and groups |
If everything fits in two cases, the Rolls-Royce Ghost is the more formal choice and easier to place at a tight hotel entrance.
Airport runs and routes the Cullinan suits
From DXB Terminal 3 to Atlantis The Palm is about 37 km, and to Dubai Marina about 32 km, usually around 30-36 minutes without heavy traffic. A family with three cases heading for a hotel on the Palm is a typical Cullinan job. The chauffeur tracks your flight and waits in arrivals with a name board, and the first 60 minutes after landing are free.
It also suits longer trips where the luggage comes too, such as the Dubai airport to Ras Al Khaimah transfer for the beach resorts up the coast. For a day out with several stops, book it as a private tour by the hour.
What to tell us when you book
Count every bag, including garment bags, golf bags and prams, because luggage is what decides between the Cullinan and a larger SUV. Say whether you need three rear seats or are happy with two. Mention child seats: we supply them on request, and each one takes a rear place. For a wedding, tell us about the dress. The high floor suits some brides and not others, and we would rather suggest the Ghost than have a struggle at the door.
