Renting a Mercedes-Benz in New York City

Brand History Mercedes-Benz’ storied history begins with the first combustion engine fitted in a stagecoach, the 1886 Benz Patent Motorwagen. In 1901, following the death of Gottlieb Dialmer, Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (DMG) released the first Mercedes vehicle, the Mercedes 35 hp. Named after the daughter of the wealthy racing-enthusiast, Emil Jellinek, who commissioned the vehicle, the car began an automobile revolution. Abandoning the assumptions and conventions of the horse-drawn carriage, the Mercedes 35hp was designed from the ground-up to inaugurate a new age of motor travel. Featuring a long wheelbase to improve stability markedly, an electric ignition system, and an all-new engine, the car made an immediate impact on the automobile world, reaching the then eye-watering speed of 60km/hr. By 1926 the Daimler and Benz companies had merged to become Mercedes-Benz, and the first vehicles under today’s brand name were produced. The rest, as they say, is history. Since then, Mercedes-Benz has designed countless automobile icons while remaining at the vanguard of safety, electronic and performance developments—many of which have become industry standards.
