How many months does it usually take to pick up a Rolls-Royce after ordering?

It usually takes 6-8 months to pick up a Rolls-Royce after ordering. The reasons for the waiting period are as follows: The vehicle hasn't been produced yet: For some newly launched or highly popular models, the demand exceeds supply, and the manufacturer's production capacity can't keep up. As orders pile up nationwide, customers must wait until the manufacturer completes production before they can pick up their vehicles. The vehicle hasn't arrived at the dealership: Due to the highly unstable automotive market conditions, dealers cannot predict whether a particular model's price will drop tomorrow. To avoid excessive inventory, 4S stores don't stock too many vehicles, which means customers must wait for delivery. Complicated new vehicle procedures: After purchasing a car, staff need to issue invoices, arrange insurance (including compulsory traffic insurance), pay purchase taxes, and apply for temporary license plates. The entire process involves significant uncertainty in timing. If any step encounters issues, the pickup time can be significantly extended.
Ordering a Rolls-Royce really depends on the specific situation. Last year, I placed an order for a Cullinan, and it took almost 9 months from the order date to delivery, which honestly isn’t fast. If you opt for more customizations, like bespoke paint colors or hand-stitched leather interiors, that can extend the timeline. Every Rolls-Royce is highly customized, with production done entirely by hand at the Goodwood factory in the UK. The production volume is inherently low, and with high global demand, order queues are normal. On average, delivery times range from 6 to 8 months, but some might get theirs in as little as 5 months, while others could wait up to 12 months. The waiting period can be quite agonizing—I’d recommend staying in close contact with your dealer for updates, checking in weekly, and visualizing the moment you’ll finally drive it to ease the anxiety. Overall, the wait is worth it, as the luxury experience is truly one-of-a-kind.
