BMW X1 hire from 777 Hire gives you the compact premium SUV, in plug-in hybrid form where available, so town driving can run on electric power and longer trips on petrol. It seats five with a raised driving position, a good-sized boot and a footprint that fits a normal parking space, which suits staff who mix city meetings with site visits and motorway miles. We can typically source the X1 subject to availability, with delivery across the UK. Browse the range below, or get in touch for a tailored quote and advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the BMW X1 available as a plug-in hybrid?
Yes. BMW offers the X1 as a plug-in hybrid (badged xDrive25e or xDrive30e depending on the model year), alongside petrol and diesel versions. The hybrid pairs a small petrol engine with a battery and electric motor, so short trips run on electric power and the engine takes over for longer journeys. Tell us which you’d prefer and we’ll confirm what’s available.
How far can the hybrid X1 go on electric power?
It varies by model year. The current plug-in hybrid is quoted at roughly 45 to 50 miles on electric alone on the official figure, while the previous generation managed around 30 to 35 miles. Expect a bit less in real-world use, especially in cold weather, but that still covers most urban working days, and the petrol engine is there for anything longer.
What is the BMW X1 good for?
It’s a premium compact SUV that’s easy to live with. You get a raised seating position, room for five, a practical boot and a well-built cabin, in a car that’s no harder to park than a hatchback. That makes it a good fit for regional managers, consultants and anyone splitting time between the office, client sites and the motorway.
Is the BMW X1 four-wheel drive?
It depends on the version. The plug-in hybrid X1 is typically badged xDrive, meaning four-wheel drive, with the electric motor driving the rear wheels and the petrol engine the front, which helps on wet roads, gravel tracks and muddy site entrances. Some petrol and diesel versions are front-wheel drive only, so if traction matters for your work, tell us and we’ll confirm the spec of the vehicle available.
How much does it cost to hire a BMW X1?
It depends on the hire length, the variant and your location. Rates come down on longer hires, and trade accounts are available for regular bookings. Send us your dates and we’ll come back with a clear quote, no obligation.
Is there an electric alternative to the X1?
The electric BMWs we offer are the i4, a sleek four-door, and the larger i5, rather than an SUV. If you want to keep the raised shape, our electric car range also covers electric SUVs and crossovers from other brands, so tell us the space and range you need and we’ll suggest the closest match.
How long can I hire a BMW X1 for?
Anything from a few days to a longer business arrangement. We offer trade accounts for companies that hire regularly, which keeps repeat bookings and billing simple. Tell us your dates and we’ll quote it.
Can you deliver the vehicle?
Delivery and collection can typically be arranged, depending on your location and availability. Send us your postcode and dates and we’ll confirm what’s possible and a realistic timescale.
