Buy or hire the DB11 if...

Aston Martin's V12 grand tourer, built to cover long distances quickly rather than to lap a track. The twin-turbo V12 and sub-4-second 0-62mph time put it against Bentley and Ferrari GT rivals, so it suits hirers after an occasion car for a long drive rather than a city run-around.

Buy or hire the E-Class if...

The standard executive saloon for UK chauffeur and business hire, chosen for its comfort and quiet cabin over outright performance. It suits airport transfers and corporate travel where presentation matters more than speed.
