Rent a Aston Martin in Dubai

Renting an Aston Martin in Dubai

Dubai is one of the best cities in the world to rent an Aston Martin — not because it has the best roads for it, but because the market is competitive enough that you can get a DB12 for roughly half what you'd pay in London, with comprehensive insurance included and delivery to your hotel.

Models & Pricing

The DB12 (671hp twin-turbo V8, 0–100km/h in 3.5 seconds) is the benchmark exotic GT here at AED 3,000–4,500/day. The Vantage (656hp, 2024 model) is AED 2,500–3,500/day and the more driver-focused choice — it's smaller, louder, and more immediate in its responses than the DB12. The DBX707 (697hp) is the SUV that makes a case for itself in Dubai specifically: it's tall enough to see over the traffic, fast enough to embarrass most things on the highway, and the rear seats are genuine. Expect AED 3,500–5,000/day.

Where to Drive

Sheikh Zayed Road late at night (midnight–4am): Eight lanes, immaculate tarmac, almost empty. The DB12 in Sport mode with the exhaust valves open at 100–120km/h is the quintessential Dubai experience — the Burj Khalifa towers above you on the left as you pass interchange 1. This is not the time for the DBX707.

Fujairah coastal highway (E99) via Masafi: Leave Dubai early (6am) on the E311 through Al Ain Road and reach the Hajar Mountain pass at Masafi by 7:30am. The E99 coast road from Khor Fakkan to Fujairah is 35km of cliff-edged tarmac above the Gulf of Oman — the Vantage handles the elevation changes and blind corners with controlled urgency. Return via the mountain road through Dibba for variety. Full day round trip from Dubai: approximately 350km.

Palm Jumeirah at dusk: The frond roads are private, unhurried, and perfectly maintained. The DB12 at 40km/h with the windows down, the Atlantis visible at the end of the crescent, and the Burj Al Arab catching the last light — slow, deliberate, and entirely the point.

Practical Tips

Book Aston Martin rentals in Dubai at least 3–5 days ahead — fleet sizes are much smaller than the G 63 / Lamborghini segment. An international driving permit alongside your national licence is recommended for any police checkpoint interaction. Operators provide a Salik toll transponder; verify it's active before leaving the depot. Summer (June–September) is not the right season for top-down driving — ambient temperatures above 45°C make any open-air car uncomfortable within minutes.

FAQ

Does the DB12 come as a convertible? The DB12 Volante (convertible) is available at a premium of AED 500–800/day over the coupe at select operators.

What's the minimum rental period? One day (24 hours). Some operators require 48 hours on DB12 Volante.
