Space, size and seats

Drive it on your own roads
If the S8 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Money matters
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $274.80 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$5,500 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 2009 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
