The deposit, the excess and the mileage terms for this car come from our catalogue data, and we are confirming that data with the insurer while the fleet is finalised. Read them as the shape of the terms rather than as a quotation. What binds is your written quote and your hire agreement, and we check the specific car against the specific driver before you plan around it.
The deposit is refundable and held against a card in the hirer's own name at handover — it is not taken online and it is not part of the rate. Deposits, excess and driver criteria
About the Aston Martin DB12 Volante
The open version of the DB12, with a folding fabric roof and the same 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8. Aston Martin calls the DB12 a super tourer rather than a grand tourer, and the Volante is the one that lets you hear it.
A 680bhp open-topped super tourer with two small rear seats. The long-distance Aston, with the roof down.
At a glance
- A 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 making 680bhp, with a folding fabric roof over it
- Two rear seats, so it carries more than a strict two-seat convertible does
- Rear-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic, set up for distance rather than lap times
- The cabin Aston Martin rebuilt for the DB12, which fixed the switchgear the DB11 was criticised for
- Arranged through a vetted partner rather than held by us, so the term is confirmed before anything is agreed
What is the Aston Martin DB12 Volante like to drive?
Softer in character than the numbers suggest, which is the point of a Volante rather than a failing. The 680bhp arrives in a long shove rather than a spike, the eight-speed automatic shifts without drama unless you force it, and the ride is set up for a four-hour motorway run rather than a track day. Dropping the roof changes the car more than it changes the performance: the V8 is unmistakably present at low revs and genuinely loud at the top, and that is most of the reason to choose this over the coupé. Rear-wheel drive and that much torque means it wants a dry road to be enjoyed properly, which is worth knowing before a January delivery.
How much does it cost to lease an Aston Martin DB12 Volante?
The monthly figure is confirmed against the specific car and the term you want, which is how every partner-arranged vehicle on this site works. There is no list price to quote here because the car is not ours, and inventing a guide figure for a car somebody else holds would be a number nobody could stand behind. What is published is the rest of the agreement: a three-month minimum, one month up front and the balance monthly, 1,000 miles a month included, and £1.95 a mile beyond it. The deposit and the insurance excess are both £5,000. Tell us the dates and we will come back with the figure in writing.
Is the DB12 Volante a good wedding car?
It is one of the better ones in this catalogue for it, for a reason that has nothing to do with speed. A convertible photographs well with the roof down and the two rear seats mean a third person can travel, which a Ferrari or a McLaren cannot offer. The boot takes a bag rather than a dress box, so plan for that. British weather is the real variable: the roof goes up and down quickly, but a car chosen for photographs in August is a different decision from the same car in February. We deliver to the address rather than to a depot, which matters on a day with a timetable.
DB12 Volante or DB12 coupé?
Both are in this catalogue and the mechanical difference is smaller than the experience gap. The coupé is slightly stiffer and quieter and is the better car if most of your miles are motorway. The Volante trades a little of that for the roof, and anyone choosing it is choosing it for the roof rather than in spite of it. If you want the engine to be the event, take the Volante. If you want to cover four hundred miles and arrive unbothered, take the coupé. The agreement, the mileage allowance and the delivery are identical either way.
Do you have this exact car?
No, and the badge on this page says so. This is a car we arrange through a vetted partner rather than one we own, which means availability for your dates is confirmed with them before anything is agreed, not promised here. That is the honest position and it is why there is no price on this page. Cars we do own carry a different badge and we answer for those directly. The images on this page are representative studio renderings of the model rather than photographs of an individual car, which is how every vehicle on this site is shown.

Provisional. The age, licence period, points tolerance, deposit and excess above are being confirmed with the insurer while the fleet is finalised — read them as the shape of the criteria, not as a decision on your lease.
If you are under the minimum age for this car, or short on licence years, say so when you enquire. We will point you at something you can lease rather than let you find out on the day.

Questions about leasing the Aston Martin DB12 Volante
Can you lease an Aston Martin DB12 Volante in the UK?
Yes, on a three-month minimum term with 1,000 miles a month included, delivered anywhere in mainland Britain. It is arranged through a partner rather than held by us, so the specific car and your dates are confirmed with them before the agreement is written. The monthly figure comes with that confirmation.
How fast is the DB12 Volante?
The 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 makes 680bhp, which takes it to 62mph in about 3.7 seconds and on to roughly 202mph. The convertible carries a little more weight than the coupé, so it is marginally slower on paper, and the difference is not something you would feel on a road.
How many people does the DB12 Volante seat?
Four, though the two rear seats are small and are better suited to a short journey or to luggage than to an adult on a long one. For four adults travelling any distance, a Bentley Flying Spur or a Continental GTC is the more honest choice, and both are in this catalogue.
How old do I have to be to lease a DB12 Volante?
At least 30, with a full licence held for five years and no more than six points. Those are the insurer’s criteria rather than ours. They are published here before you enquire so that nobody discovers them at the wrong point.
