Many world leaders travel in style, using armored luxury vehicles to get around.

While some opt for sedans or SUVs, others use limousines, including custom Bentleys and Cadillacs. US President Joe Biden, for example, rides in a $1.5 million Cadillac nicknamed "the Beast." And King Charles III uses a custom-built Bentley gifted to his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, 50 years after she was crowned queen of England.

These are eight of the limousines used by world leaders:
