A Maybach S-Class is a chauffeur-class saloon, and in Singapore the yearly costs reflect a large engine. Road tax is the heavy item. Car insurance, on the other hand, comes in lower than the car's standing might suggest, at least for the page's standard driver. This guide sets out both, plus the COE.
Insurance figures are examples for one stated driver, as of 1 November 2026. They are for comparing, not your quote.
Not on the new-car list now
The new-car list has no entry for the Maybach S-Class on sale now. So there is no list price, power figure or body type in this guide. The price page gives the engine, the COE rule and insurance prices.
The quote form has two versions:
- S580 4MATIC: 3,982cc
- S680 4MATIC: 5,980cc
The price page prices the S580 4MATIC, the version most insurers quote.
Road tax is the big yearly cost
For the S580's 3,982cc engine, LTA's formula, checked 2026-10-19, gives S$3,920.94 a year. That is before any age surcharge. The S680, with a far bigger engine, pays a good deal more. The road tax page does that sum.
If the car passes 10 years, the surcharge applies:
- Over 10 years: +10%
- Over 11 years: +20%
- Over 12 years: +30%
- Over 13 years: +40%
- Over 14 years: +50%
On a base this high, even +10% is a sizeable addition each year.
COE
With a 3,982cc engine, above 1,600cc, the S580 4MATIC needs a Category B COE. Category B closed at S$131,901 in the October 2026 2nd round. For a used car, the years left on the current COE matter more. The COE page has the latest results.
Two insurers, two prices
The Mercedes-Benz Maybach S-Class price page prices this profile:
- Car: S580 4MATIC, registered 3 years ago, private use, comprehensive cover
- Driver: aged 40, married, office job, driving 10 years
- Record: 50% no-claim discount (NCD), no claims
- Repairs: authorised workshop, no options
2 insurers price it, one plan each. The lowest is S$1,064.39 a year. The other is S$1,154.42, which is S$90.03 or 8% more. Both include 9% GST.
Seventeen insurers show no online price. One of them prices electric cars only online. So for a car like this, most of the market can only be seen by asking.
The excess gap
The two plans differ more in excess than in price:
- S$1,064.39 plan: S$600 excess
- S$1,154.42 plan: S$2,500 excess
Here the lower premium comes with the lower excess. That is not the usual pattern, so it is worth noticing. Still, check what each plan covers, such as the workshop terms and any limits on parts.
How the lowest price changes
The page changes one detail at a time:
- No NCD (0%): S$2,080.77, or S$1,016.38 more
- 20% NCD: S$1,665.64, or S$601.25 more
- Driver aged 27, 3 years' driving, 30% NCD: S$2,176.82, or S$1,112.43 more
- Driver aged 65, 20 years' driving, 50% NCD: S$1,163.15, or S$98.76 more
- A new car, registered this year: S$1,096.41, or S$32.02 more
- A car 8 years old: S$1,013.12, or S$51.27 less
The younger driver pays most, 105% above the standard figure. No NCD comes close. Both insurers price every case, so the two-way comparison holds throughout.
If someone else drives
Cars of this kind are often driven by a family member or a hired driver. Each named driver changes the price. A younger or less experienced driver can raise it sharply, as the table shows. When you ask for quotes, list everyone who will drive the car.
Why so few prices
Many insurers price common cars online but leave rarer, high-value cars to a manual quote. That does not mean they will not cover it. It means the price depends on a closer look at the car, the driver and how it is kept. Expect questions about where the car is parked and who drives it.
Against comparable cars
For the same driver and car age, the price page compares six cars:
- Audi RS Q8: S$2,154.12
- Audi SQ7: S$2,154.12
- Audi SQ8: S$1,370.00
- BMW 735i: S$1,061.44
- BMW 735Li: S$1,061.44
- BMW M5 Sedan: S$3,485.71
Their average lowest price is S$1,881.14. The Maybach S-Class is 43% below it. Two of the six, the BMW 735i and 735Li, are cheaper to insure, by only a few dollars. The others cost more. The Mercedes-Benz car insurance page has the maker's other models.
Costs with no set figure
- Parking: a long saloon needs a lot that fits. Check season parking at home and at work.
- Petrol: a large engine and your mileage set the bill.
- ERP: depends on your routes and timing.
- Servicing: parts and labour on a car at this level can be costly. Ask for the service history and what is due.
- Depreciation: tied to what you pay and how much COE life is left.
