Different seasons and ever-changing weather conditions can call for a change of car. Winter is a great time to branch out and try a luxury car rental. Perhaps you want to test drive a model before you make an investment or maybe you’re going away for the holidays and need a safe, stylish and comfortable means of transport on snowy roads.
In winter, an all-wheel drive is the key factor to look for, but fortunately there are a number of 4×4 luxury rentals available.
{SUVs}
Range Rover Sport
The Range Rover Sport is a genuinely luxurious ride with a supercharged 5-litre engine and precision handling. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in under 5 seconds, making it the fastest of Land Rover’s land cruisers. Although it’s fast, it doesn’t compromise on off-road capabilities and it’s the best all-terrain, all-weather vehicle available. The luxurious interior is roomy and it comes packed with technology such as the Meridian audio system and state-of-the-art navigation.
BMW X5
This sophisticated BMW X5 SUV combines luxury and performance with exceptional comfort. It’s the perfect example of a premium elite crossover vehicle boasting a number of ultra-modern features such as an excellent infotainment system and anti-lock disc brakes. The all-wheel drive car offers optional torque vectoring, which can help the car through a corner on snowy or icy patches. The night vision option automatically locates and warns of pedestrians and animals in the dark.
Audi Q7
The Audi Q7 has created its own niche in the winter driving market. Its automatic traction control and undercarriage protection complement its standard-spec all-wheel drive. The model heats up rapidly and quietly and its engine is extremely powerful, giving a sports car performance in the guise of an SUV; it certainly has the off-road capabilities to prove it. The Q7’s sleek design is surprisingly spacious and it has the capacity to seat seven people, plus their luggage.
Range Rover Vogue
The Range Rover Vogue is a wonderful drive at any time of the year. Its powerful engine and accurate handling make driving along the snow and ice a pleasure, even on those tight winding mountain roads. This exceptional sports tourer excels on and off the road, delivering awesome power for an exhilarating drive and impresses with its luxurious interior and dynamic engine.
{SuperCars}
Those who want the experience of driving a sporty premium car during the winter should look into supercar rental. Supercars are starting to bridge the gap and offer all-weather and cross-terrain driving options. There’s no need to compromise on style and speed with the following selection of luxury cars that perform just as well in winter.
The Mercedes SLS
The Mercedes SLS follows the lead of the original 300 SL which was such a success as a coupe. This version carries the classic Mercedes’ styling with distinctive gull-wing doors, which are surprisingly light. It has inspired numerous versions, including the Roadster, the upgraded GT and the Electric Drive. Its dramatic look and exceptional performance make it an essential drive for every car enthusiast.
Ferrari F40
The Ferrari F40 was the fastest car on the planet at the time of its release (1987). It can go from 0-100 km/h in only 3.8 seconds. It made history as the first road legal car to reach 320km/h, which by today’s standards is still very fast. Enzo Ferrari the founder of the legendary automobile company decided to create the most spectacular all-weather hypercar the world had ever seen. It was the last car he signed off before his death in 1988, leaving an extraordinary legacy. With only 1,311 built, the F40 is in huge demand and driving one is a rare treat. With tyre chains, this race car can handle snow well too.
Lamborghini Aventador Roadster
The Roadster is one of the most extravagant cars on the road today. It’s loud and fast, but what it lacks in discretion, it more than makes up for in performance, style and ease of use. Its stealth aircraft design and ergonomics were inspired by aeronautics and its exceptional performance makes it one of the most extreme supercars in the world. To appreciate the 700 horsepower, an Aventador rental is best for milder winters in the south of England and on the Continent.
