Rent a Aston Martin in United Kingdom

Aston Martin Hire in the UK

Aston Martin is a British marque, and hiring one in the UK carries a weight it doesn't quite have anywhere else. The factory is in Gaydon, Warwickshire. The test roads are B-roads. When you hire a DB12 in the UK and drive it through the Cotswolds, you're doing exactly what the engineers intended.

Models Available

The DB12 is the current grand tourer benchmark — 671hp twin-turbo V8, 0–62mph in 3.5 seconds, and a cabin that finally matches the exterior in quality. It's available at specialist hire companies at £1,800–2,500/day. The Vantage (2024 model, 656hp) is more visceral: firmer suspension, louder exhaust, shorter wheelbase — it's the DB12 stripped back for drivers who actually want to feel the road. Expect £1,600–2,200/day.

The DBX707 (697hp, the most powerful luxury SUV available to hire in the UK) is increasingly available at £2,000–2,800/day. It solves the Aston Martin practicality problem — four proper seats, an SUV load floor, and the performance to embarrass most sports cars. If you're hiring for a family event or need genuine luggage space, this is the one.

The older DB11 V12 (630hp) is still in some fleets at £1,400–1,900/day and remains the most sonorous Aston available — the V12 exhaust note at 4,000rpm on an empty B-road is one of the great automotive experiences.

Hire Costs

• DB12 (671hp V8): £1,800–2,500/day
• Vantage (656hp): £1,600–2,200/day
• DBX707 (697hp): £2,000–2,800/day

Security deposits run £5,000–10,000 on card pre-authorisation. Comprehensive insurance with an agreed-value policy is included at reputable operators; check the excess — on a car valued at £230,000+, an excess of £5,000 is standard and not negotiable at short notice.

Where to Hire

London operators in South Kensington, Chelsea, and Mayfair carry the largest UK fleets. Outside London, specialist hire companies operate from the Cotswolds, Surrey, and Edinburgh. Delivery within M25 typically costs £150–300. Airport delivery to Heathrow, Gatwick, or Manchester is available from most operators at a premium.

The minimum hire period is typically one day; most operators require two days for weekend bookings. Age minimum is 25, though some companies specify 30 for V12 and high-power models. Visit astonmartin.com for full model specifications.

Driving Experience

The Aston Martin proposition in the UK is specifically about roads that have corners. The B4035 through the Cotswolds from Chipping Campden to Shipton-on-Stour is 18 miles of exactly the kind of undulating, hedgerow-lined B-road that makes a DB12 feel purposeful. The A832 through Wester Ross in the Scottish Highlands is longer — 80 miles of loch-edged single-track — and the Vantage earns every moment of it. The M25 does not.

One honest note: modern Aston Martins have significant width. The DB12 at 1.98m wide is tight on truly narrow lanes. Roof-down driving in the UK is genuinely possible; early mornings in summer, with appropriate layers. The DBX707 is the better choice for unpredictable British weather.

FAQ

Is delivery to Scottish Highlands available? Some Cotswold and London operators will deliver to Edinburgh. Beyond that, a local Scottish hire specialist is the practical option.

Are these cars automatic? Yes — all current Aston Martins use an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission. No manual option is available on hire.

Can I hire for a wedding? Yes. Most UK Aston Martin hire companies have specific wedding packages with red-carpet delivery, bow ribbons, and extended morning hire periods.
