Welcome to Sports Car Hire, the UK's premier provider of sports car and supercar rentals. Driving an Aston Martin on UK roads is an exhilarating experience, and we are here to ensure you maximise every moment behind the wheel. Whether you're new to high-performance vehicles or a seasoned driver, these tips will help you enjoy your drive to the fullest.

Know Your Aston Martin

Before hitting the road, familiarize yourself with the specific model you're driving. Aston Martin offers a range of remarkable vehicles including the DB11, Vantage, and the iconic DBS Superleggera. Each model has unique features and handling characteristics.

  • DB11: Renowned for its luxurious comfort and powerful V12 engine.
  • Vantage: A more compact and agile option, perfect for winding roads.
  • DBS Superleggera: The ultimate grand tourer with breathtaking performance.

Observe Speed Limits

UK roads have varying speed limits, often lower than those in other countries. In urban areas, the limit is usually 30 mph, while motorways allow up to 70 mph. Always adhere to these limits for safety and to avoid penalties.

Plan Your Route

Use navigation tools to plan your journey. This helps you avoid congestion and enjoy a smoother drive. Consider scenic routes that showcase the UK's stunning landscapes, enhancing your driving experience.

Check Weather Conditions

The UK weather can be unpredictable. Wet roads require extra caution, as performance cars like Aston Martins have powerful engines that can make handling more challenging in adverse conditions.
