Which should you charter?
Pick the Global 5000 if you need the extra 1,440 km (778 nm) of range, headroom matters (the cabin is 3 cm taller), you want a wider cabin (25 cm more across) and you travel with a lot of luggage (195 cu ft of baggage space vs 169).
Pick the Gulfstream GIV-SP if you want more room to spread out (the cabin is 0.6 m longer).
The Gulfstream GIV-SP is estimated at $8,800/hr against $11,500/hr for the Global 5000, about $2,700 less per hour. Charters are billed by flight time, so the faster Global 5000 saves about 4 minutes per 1,000 km flown. Real quotes depend on the operator, the aircraft's age and how far it has to fly to reach you.
Example trip: the Global 5000 can fly London (LTN) to Miami (OPF) nonstop, 7,098 km. The Gulfstream GIV-SP would need a fuel stop on that route.
Nonstop means within 90% of published range, before winds, payload and fuel reserves; the operator confirms each route.
