## Is the Audi A8 a good car for an airport run or a client visit?

One of the better ones. The cabin is genuinely quiet at motorway speed, the air suspension smooths out ruined surfaces, and the boot takes several large cases. It looks expensive without looking showy, which is usually what a business hire wants. Note that this is self-drive: the named hirer does the driving.

## How quick is the A8 55 TFSI?

Quick enough. The 3.0-litre turbo V6 makes 335bhp and 500Nm, taking the car to 62mph in 5.6 seconds and on to a limited 155mph. Pace is not the point of an A8, but it means the car never feels laboured when fully loaded and it makes light work of a short slip road.

## What does it cost to hire an Audi A8?

A refundable deposit near £2,500 and a matching insurance excess are typical, with 12,000 miles a year included and roughly £1.50 a mile beyond. Everything is set out in writing before you decide.

## A8 or S8?

The S8 adds a 563bhp V8 and predictive suspension at a higher monthly figures. If the car is being driven quickly, the S8 earns that. If it is carrying people between meetings, the A8 does the same job more cheaply and slightly more anonymously.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is the Audi A8 available with a driver?

No. Everything in this catalogue is self-drive hire, and the person named on the agreement must do the driving. If you need a chauffeur we will point you to a firm that specialises in it.

### How much luggage does an A8 hold?

Enough for four passengers with full-size suitcases. The boot is a conventional saloon shape rather than a hatchback, so very long items are awkward, but for airport work it is more than adequate.

### Does the A8 have four-wheel drive?

Yes. quattro all-wheel drive is standard on the 55 TFSI, which makes a real difference on a wet motorway and in winter. The tyres fitted to the specific car are confirmed before delivery.
