Renting an Aston Martin in Dubai: What to Expect
More exclusive than a standard rental, this page offers 1 Aston Martin DB11 from AED 2800 per day, delivered to your hotel, villa, or Dubai airports.
What the Aston Martin DB11 rental in Dubai feels like
Driving the DB11 here is the closest you get to the Gran Turismo fantasy on real tarmac — a 510 hp grand tourer that turns Sheikh Zayed Road into your private circuit. Rent-Trip keeps a single DB11 in its exotic-class fleet, and it behaves differently from the two-seat supercars most companies push on you. This section breaks down the specifications, the practical advantage of four seats, and what the exotic classification actually means for your booking.
The DB11 at a glance
| Specification | Aston Martin DB11 |
|---|---|
| Class | Exotic |
| Body style | Coupe |
| Engine | 4.0 L twin-turbo V8 |
| Power | 510 hp |
| Seats | 4 |
| Fuel | Petrol |
| Price | AED 2800 per day |
The DB11 is a grand tourer, not a track toy: the 4.0 L V8 delivers effortless torque for highway cruising, while the coupe body keeps the silhouette low and unmistakably Aston Martin. Petrol is the only fuel option, and with 510 hp on tap you will rarely need more than half throttle to merge into the traffic flow. The engine is tuned here for smooth daily usability rather than aggressive track behaviour.
Why 4 seats change the experience
Most exotic hires in Dubai are two-seaters — a McLaren or a Lamborghini leaves your partner squeezed into the passenger seat and your luggage nowhere at all. The DB11 solves both problems: four seats mean two passengers ride in proper comfort, and there is enough space behind the front seats for cabin bags or shopping from Dubai Mall. The DB11 works for dinner at Dubai Marina and a run to Abu Dhabi in the same day, with the rear seats practical for shorter trips. The rear seats are not limousine-spacious, but for adults up to about 175 cm they are perfectly acceptable for a 30-minute cross-city drive.
Exotic class — what it means for you
- Age requirement: drivers must be at least 25 years old for the exotic class, with any further conditions set out in the rental agreement.
- Insurance: comprehensive CDW cover is included in the daily rate, so you are protected against collision damage within the terms of the policy.
- Deposit: a security deposit is held on your card before pickup and released after the car is returned undamaged.
- Mileage: 250 km per day are included, with extra kilometres charged according to the rental agreement.
The exotic classification places the DB11 above standard and luxury categories, which means stricter driver criteria and a higher deposit than a family SUV would carry. Because the car is petrol-powered and tuned for road use, the agreement prohibits off-road and desert driving entirely — the DB11 stays on paved roads, which is where its grand-touring character belongs anyway.
Flexible Aston Martin Rental in Dubai — Daily, Weekly, Monthly
Pricing for the DB11 is straightforward: one model, one transparent daily rate. Rent-Trip structures the rates so you know the exact figure before you confirm — the price below is the car, the insurance and the included mileage, with VAT shown separately at 5%.
What AED 2800 per day includes
The daily rate for the DB11 covers the essentials: comprehensive CDW insurance, 250 km of mileage, and 24/7 delivery anywhere in the city. You are not paying extra for the car to reach you at DXB Terminal 1 or 3, your hotel in Dubai Marina, or a villa in JVC. What is not included is the 5% VAT, which appears separately on your confirmation, and any kilometres beyond 250 per day, which are charged according to the agreement. The security deposit is held on your card as a pre-authorisation and released after the car is returned.
Weekly and monthly rates for longer stays
If you are staying a week or more, the DB11 becomes more economical. A seven-day booking at AED 16800 brings the effective daily cost to AED 2400, and a full month at AED 58800 suits residents or long-stay visitors who want an exotic car as their everyday transport. Weekly and monthly bookings also simplify your planning: one agreement, one delivery, and the same 250 km per day included throughout. For trips that mix city driving with a weekend run to Abu Dhabi or Hatta, the monthly rate is set out in the rental agreement.
Price comparison table
| Rental period | Rate | Effective daily cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily | AED 2800 | AED 2800 | Short city trips, airport pickup |
| Weekly | AED 16800 | AED 2400 | One-week holidays, business trips |
| Monthly | AED 58800 | AED 1960 | Long stays, residents, frequent driving |
When you book a weekly or monthly plan with Rent-Trip, the total including VAT and the deposit amount are agreed when booking. Any additional conditions for longer bookings are set out in the rental agreement — worth reviewing before you confirm.
Where your Aston Martin rental in Dubai can take you
A day in the DB11 is best spent where the car can stretch its legs — Sheikh Zayed Road at a steady cruise, the Marina corniche at dusk, or a fast run out to Abu Dhabi on the E11. We deliver the car to your hotel or villa in any district across the city, so your route starts exactly where you are, with no detour to a rental counter.
Driving the DB11 around Dubai
- Sheikh Zayed Road: the city's main artery, with wide lanes and clear signage — ideal for the DB11's 510 hp, though the speed camera network is dense, so stick to the posted limit.
- Dubai Marina and JLT: slower, scenic cruising past the towers; parking is paid and fills up by early evening, so arrive before sunset.
- Downtown Dubai and Business Bay: short hops between the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall; valet parking at the major hotels is the simplest option.
- Deira and Bur Dubai: older districts with tighter streets and more pedestrians — the DB11's low stance needs extra care here.
The car is a left-hand-drive coupe on right-hand roads, which takes a few minutes to feel natural. Any route restrictions or driving conditions are set out in the rental agreement.
Cross-emirate trips: Abu Dhabi, Hatta, Fujairah
- Abu Dhabi: roughly 90 minutes down the E11 — a smooth highway run where the DB11 feels effortless; the AED 2800 daily rate includes the 250 km, so the round trip fits comfortably.
- Hatta: about an hour from the city into the Hajar foothills, with the 4.0-litre V8 earning its keep on the graded mountain road; the drive is scenic, and any route conditions are set out in the rental agreement.
- Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah: longer coastal runs past Sharjah and Ajman — plan for the mileage carefully, as extra kilometres are charged per the rental agreement.
- Oman: requires a separate permit and separate insurance, so we do not allow the DB11 across the border — if Muscat is on your list, a different arrangement is needed.
For any of these routes, the 4-seat layout matters: two passengers ride in proper seats behind the driver, not a cramped bench, so a full car of four can share the experience. We also remind every guest that the agreement prohibits off-road and desert driving — the DB11 is built for tarmac, and dune bashing is done with a tour operator, not in a hire car.
Why 4 seats change the trip
A two-seat exotic forces a choice between the car and your companions. The DB11's rear seats turn the hire into a shared event — three friends can join the Abu Dhabi run, or the back seats can swallow a weekend bag for a Hatta overnight. On a typical day trip we see, the extra two seats are what make the difference between a solo drive and a group memory.
Documents and requirements for renting an Aston Martin in Dubai
To drive the DB11 here, you need to meet our age requirement and bring a specific set of documents. Because the DB11 falls into the exotic class, the minimum driver age is 25. This is a firm condition across our exotic fleet, so if you are under 25, the Aston Martin hire is not available to you; we can suggest a car from another class instead.
Who can drive the DB11
- Minimum age 25: the DB11 is exotic class, so the minimum driver age is 25.
- Valid full licence: you must hold a current driving licence from your home country; any further conditions are set out in the rental agreement.
- Additional drivers: any second driver must be agreed when booking; the conditions are set out in the rental agreement.
Documents for residents and tourists
- UAE residents: bring your Emirates ID and a valid UAE driving licence — that is all we need to check.
- Tourists with a Latin-script licence: your passport with the UAE entry stamp plus your home-country licence are sufficient.
- Tourists with a non-Latin licence: add an International Driving Permit (IDP) alongside your passport and home licence; without an IDP, the hire cannot be processed.
- Entry proof: a visa or entry stamp in your passport is required; if you entered visa-free, the entry stamp is your confirmation.
We check your documents at the time of delivery, wherever you are in the city — at DXB Terminal 1 or 3, DWC, your hotel in Downtown or a villa in the Marina. If you are unsure whether your licence type requires an IDP, confirm this with us before your booking date — this saves you from any hold-up at the kerb.
Insurance, Deposit, and Mileage for Your Aston Martin Rental
Renting the Aston Martin DB11 comes with three financial layers you should understand before you drive: comprehensive insurance, a refundable security deposit and the daily mileage cap. We explain how each works at Rent-Trip so there are no surprises at the end of your hire.
Comprehensive insurance — what's covered
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) is included in the AED 2800 daily rate, which means you are not liable for the full repair cost if the car is damaged during your rental period. The cover applies to the DB11 as a standard part of our exotic-class agreement, not as a paid extra. What CDW does not cover — such as interior damage, tyre and windscreen damage, or loss of the vehicle — is always set out in the agreement before you sign.
- CDW coverage: collision damage to the bodywork is covered up to the terms stated in your contract.
- Excess amount: the portion you pay before CDW applies is fixed per agreement and held against your deposit.
- Excluded items: tyres, wheels, underbody, interior and windscreen damage fall outside CDW.
- Third-party cover: liability toward other vehicles and property on Dubai roads is included by law.
Security deposit — how it works
A security deposit is held on your card at pickup and released after the DB11 is returned undamaged and within the agreed mileage. The hold is placed as a pre-authorisation, not a charge. We release the hold once we inspect the car; the exact release timing is set out in the rental agreement. The deposit figure for the exotic class is stated in the agreement, and the payment method you use for the hold is agreed when booking.
Mileage: 250 km per day and beyond
Your daily rate includes 250 km of driving, which covers most city itineraries across Dubai. Extra kilometres are charged per the rate in your agreement, so for longer routes we suggest checking the cost before you set off. On a weekly booking the included mileage accumulates to 1750 km, which comfortably handles a cross-emirate trip to Abu Dhabi or Fujairah and still leaves room for city driving. If you plan to exceed the cap, the options for extending your daily allowance are agreed when booking.
Free Delivery of Your Aston Martin Rental Across Dubai and to DXB
Rent-Trip delivers the DB11 to any address in the city, 24/7 — including both airports, hotels and private residences. There is no counter or office to visit: the car arrives at your door ready to drive, and we collect it from the same spot when the hire ends.
Airport pickup at DXB and DWC
We meet you at arrivals with the DB11, hand over the keys and the agreement, and you drive off without leaving the terminal. Delivery works the same way at both airports:
- Dubai International (DXB): we coordinate at Terminals 1 and 3; the exact meeting point is set out in the rental agreement.
- Al Maktoum (DWC): the same meet-and-greet service applies at the arrivals level.
- Documents on delivery: we bring the paperwork and check your licence and passport or Emirates ID on the spot.
Airport delivery suits tourists arriving on a long-haul flight — you start driving the moment you land.
Delivery to your hotel or home
If you are staying in the city rather than flying in, we deliver the Aston Martin to your hotel, villa or apartment anywhere across Dubai. The same 24/7 window applies, so a 2 a.m. arrival at a Dubai Marina hotel or a midday handover in JVC both work the same way. You agree on a delivery time when you book, and the car arrives as agreed. When the hire period ends, we collect the DB11 from the same location, which means you never have to return a car to a depot or chase a parking spot near an office. The only thing to keep in mind is that delivery timing is agreed when booking.
Practical Tips Before You Rent an Aston Martin in Dubai
Getting behind the wheel of a 510 hp coupe on city roads is straightforward once you know a few local rules. The DB11 runs on petrol, so your first stop will likely be a fuel station — and the toll system, parking rules and weekend traffic patterns are set out in the rental agreement.
Salik, parking and traffic rules
- Salik toll gates: The city uses a barrier-free toll system — AED 4 per gate off-peak and AED 6 during peak hours. The charge is linked to your plate and is set out in the rental agreement.
- Right-hand traffic: Cars are left-hand drive and traffic keeps to the right. Visitors from the UK, Japan or Australia need a short adjustment period — take the first kilometres slowly.
- Parking fines: Paid zones operate across Dubai Marina, Downtown and JLT. Check the signboard before leaving the car — fines for expired meters are issued quickly and deducted from the security deposit.
- Weekend flow: Saturday and Sunday are the UAE weekend, so Sheikh Zayed Road and Jumeirah Beach Road get busy from late afternoon. Friday is a working day with lighter traffic — a good window for a longer drive.
What to know about petrol and range
The DB11's 4.0-litre engine is petrol-only, and the tank gives you roughly 500-600 km of real-world range depending on how often you use the throttle. Fuel is inexpensive here compared with Europe, and stations are plentiful along Sheikh Zayed Road and in every district from Deira to Dubai Silicon Oasis. For a day trip to Abu Dhabi — about 140 km each way — one tank covers the round trip with margin to spare, but factor in the 250 km daily mileage limit when planning out-of-town routes. Extra kilometres are charged per the agreement, so a run to Hatta or Fujairah may push you past the included allowance. We recommend checking the odometer against your plan at pickup; the mileage terms are agreed when booking, and a quick mental calculation before you leave avoids surprises on return.
