These figures are provisional
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 Audi SQ8
It uses the same 500bhp twin-turbo V8 as the SQ7 under a lower, coupe-shaped roof, reaching 62mph in 4.1 seconds with five seats and 605 litres of boot space. Dates are confirmed with a partner first.
The SQ7's V8 in a sleeker body. Five seats instead of seven, and a shape that photographs considerably better.
At a glance
- 500bhp 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 with 770Nm
- 0-62mph in 4.1 seconds
- Five seats and 605 litres of boot space
- Coupe roofline over the standard Q8 body
- quattro all-wheel drive with adaptive air suspension
What is the difference between the Audi SQ8 and the SQ7?
Roof and seats. Both use the same 500bhp twin-turbo V8 and the same platform, but the SQ8 has a sloping coupe roofline and five seats, where the SQ7 has a squarer profile and seven. The SQ8 gives up a little rear headroom and gains a great deal of presence.
How does the SQ8 compare with the RS Q8?
The RS Q8 is the faster car: 631bhp against 500bhp, and about half a second quicker to 62mph. The SQ8 is quieter, softer and noticeably cheaper to hire. If you want the shape and the V8 without the RS badge and its monthly figure, the SQ8 is the sensible pick.
What does an SQ8 cost to hire?
A refundable deposit near £3,000 and a matching excess are typical, with 12,000 miles a year included and about £1.50 a mile beyond. We put the exact terms in writing before anything is agreed.
Is the SQ8 suitable for a wedding or a corporate event?
It works for both. The proportions read well in photographs, the rear doors are large enough to get in and out of in formal clothing, and the cabin is quiet. Bear in mind this is self-drive hire — the person named on the agreement does the driving.

These are insurance conditions for this vehicle, not preferences, so we check them when you enquire rather than on the doorstep.
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 hire.
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 hire rather than let you find out on the day.

Questions about hiring the Audi SQ8
How much luggage does an SQ8 take?
605 litres with the rear seats up, which is enough for four people with full-size cases. The coupe tailgate makes the opening shallower than a Q7's, so very tall items are awkward.
Is the SQ8 the same car as a Lamborghini Urus?
They share a platform and a great deal of hardware, including the basic V8 architecture. The Urus is tuned far harder, sits lower and costs several times as much to hire. The SQ8 is the quiet version of the same idea.
What deposit is held on an SQ8?
Typically around £3,000, refundable, held against a matching insurance excess. The amount, the method of holding it and the release timing are all stated before you book, never afterwards.
