Hire a Land Rover Defender OCTA from a guide price of £1490/month — the most extreme Defender yet, with a thunderous twin-turbo V8 and clever hydraulic suspension built to fly across rough terrain, on a flexible short-term plan with terms typically from 6 to 36 months and no credit check to get a quote.
Guide price · from £1,490/month. This is an indicative “from” guide price only — the actual price will vary with stock availability, term, mileage and your circumstances, and your rental partner confirms the exact figure before anything is agreed. Last reviewed 23 June 2026.
What makes the OCTA special?
The OCTA takes the rugged Defender and turns it into a high-speed off-road weapon. It uses a 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 mild hybrid producing around 626bhp, reaching 62mph in roughly 4.0 seconds. The headline is its 6D Dynamics hydraulically interlinked suspension, which lets it soak up huge impacts and stay composed at pace over broken ground. A dedicated OCTA mode, wider tracks and all-terrain tyres make it genuinely capable of desert-rally speeds few road cars could survive.
Can you still use it every day?
Absolutely. Despite its extreme ability, the OCTA keeps the Defender's boxy practicality, upright visibility and spacious, hard-wearing cabin with room for the whole family and their kit. It rides comfortably on the road, tows heavy loads and shrugs off bad weather. You get a car that can commute on Monday, tackle a muddy estate midweek and blast across open terrain at the weekend, all without breaking a sweat.
Who is it for?
The adventurer who wants maximum capability and V8 theatre in one vehicle. Short-term hire lets you enjoy this rare flagship with nothing to sell at the end. Explore our limited-edition models or get a guide quote.
