How Much Do Bodyguards Cost?
Clients often ask this. Prices vary by role, hours and risk. Typical factors:
- Level of threat and required specialist skills (e.g., armed vs unarmed — note UK laws restrict firearms).
- Experience level of the officer (PPO vs senior close protection operative).
- Hours per day, overnight cover, weekends or 24/7 live-in protection.
- Travel requirements and multi-city coverage.
- Additional services: drivers, logistics, K9 units or technical surveillance countermeasures.
To give ballpark figures: private bodyguard costs in London can range from moderate day rates for basic visible guards to higher weekly rates for senior, full-time close protection officers. For an accurate quote, we provide a free risk assessment and transparent pricing tailored to your needs.

Excellent rating
Based on 8 reviews Its almost 6 months me working with hunters and the management is very responsible and serious about their work they provide top tier services to employees so that employees can work with high morale and can give their best to our clients I really prefer everyone to try the services provided by hunters JUST KIDDING My husband and I have been with Hunter now for a year now and they have never let us down. Reliable, professional and respectful - I feel happy when I am away with work or on vacation with my family as I know my properties are in safe hands. Good, wholesome and trust worthy people. Have previously had an altercation where my dog set off the burglar alarm and I was not at home, Hunter Security Group swiftly responded to my call out and sorted the situation. I am a very happy customer. Eleanor Lawner Me and my neighbours contacted Hunter after some issues we had in the area with cars being taken. We also heard about attempted break ins a few streets away. So it was natural to get in touch to ensure the safety and security of our homes and families. The team at Hunter are professional and knowledgeable and really work with us to ensure we get the best outcome. Hunter have really embedded themselves into our neighbourhood to the extent they are part of our WhatsApp group and neighbourhood watch group. We cannot fault them at all! Highly recommend using Hunter! Moe Flex Very professional service, feeling safer knowing their team cover my area - Greater London and Essex based! Jake We signed up for Hunter's mobile patrol offer a couple of weeks back. They understood our concerns and patrolled straight away. Nice vehicles and professional service steven pace Hunter Group were recommended to me by a friend, and have been nothing but professional, approachable and helpful. They understand my concerns and have already outperformed previous security services I’ve used in the past. They go above and beyond and genuinely want to help.
