What Types of Cars Are Most Often Rented in Dubai?

Dubai remains the global capital of supercars, where Ferrari and Lamborghini are as common as taxis elsewhere. Yet 2025 brings a shift: alongside the iconic G-Wagons and Huracáns, electric vehicles and practical sedans are gaining momentum. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the most popular rental categories—complete with real models, daily prices, and age requirements—so you can pick the perfect car for your Dubai experience.

At Brook Drive, we offer no deposit on any vehicle and accept crypto payments, making premium driving accessible to everyone. Whether you’re here for a weekend or a month, our fleet covers every need—from adrenaline-fueled supercars to family-friendly SUVs.

Sports Cars and Supercars: The Dubai Icons

Supercars define Dubai’s street culture. Renting a Ferrari or a Lamborghini isn’t just about speed—it’s a statement. Tourists book these machines for sunset cruises along Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) and photo shoots in front of the Burj Khalifa, where the cityscape amplifies the car’s presence.

The adrenaline rush of a 0–100 km/h sprint in under 3 seconds on Sheikh Zayed Road is unmatched. However, strict safety rules apply: drivers must be 25+ years old with at least 5 years of driving experience. Brook Drive waives deposits even on these exotics, so you only need valid documents and a passion for performance.

Top Rated Supercars

Model Daily Price (AED) Requirements
Ferrari F8 Spider 3,390 Min Age 25, 5 years exp
Lamborghini Huracán Evo Spyder 3,390 Min Age 25, 5 years exp
McLaren 750S Spider 4,900 Min Age 25, 5 years exp

These models dominate evening drives in Downtown and along the Palm Jumeirah, where their roaring exhausts and sleek silhouettes turn heads at every traffic light. For many visitors, a supercar rental becomes the highlight of their Dubai trip—a chance to live out a dream that’s often out of reach back home.

Luxury SUVs: The G-Wagon Phenomenon and Beyond

In Dubai, the Mercedes G-Wagon (G63) transcends its off-road DNA to become the ultimate status symbol. With a 577 hp V8, handcrafted leather interiors, and a boxy silhouette that commands respect, the G63 is the choice for business meetings, luxury hotel arrivals, and late-night drives through DIFC.

It’s not about conquering dunes—it’s about projecting success. The Lamborghini Urus blends supercar speed with SUV practicality, while the Rolls-Royce Cullinan offers whisper-quiet opulence and handcrafted details. All three seat up to five passengers in supreme comfort, making them ideal for VIP airport transfers or family outings to Global Village.

Elite SUVs for Business & Status

Model Daily Price (AED) Feature
Mercedes G63 AMG 2,290 Iconic Status Symbol
Lamborghini Urus 2,990 Sport SUV Performance
Rolls-Royce Cullinan 4,290 Ultimate Luxury

Minimum age for these models is typically 25 years, with at least 3 years of driving experience. Brook Drive’s zero-deposit policy applies across the board, so you can elevate your Dubai journey without tying up cash. These SUVs also handle the city’s highways with ease, offering a smooth ride whether you’re heading to a meeting in Business Bay or a dinner reservation at Atlantis The Palm.

Off-Road Kings: Best Cars for Desert Safaris

Important Notice: While the Toyota Land Cruiser and Nissan Patrol are legendary off-roaders, standard rental insurance does NOT cover dune bashing or deep-sand driving. Any damage incurred off-road voids your coverage, leaving you liable for the full repair cost.

For safe desert adventures, book licensed safari tours where the operator’s insurance and roll cages protect you. These rugged 4x4s are perfect for paved highway trips to Al Ain or Hatta, where their power and comfort shine, but leave the sand dunes to the professionals.

Reliable 4×4 Rentals

Model Daily Price (AED) Note
Toyota Land Cruiser 300 650 Paved roads only
Nissan Patrol Platinum 990 Spacious & powerful
Land Rover Defender 1,090 Modern tech & style

These models require drivers to be 23+ years old with a valid license and IDP. Use them to explore Abu Dhabi’s highways or Sharjah’s heritage sites—not the open desert. The Land Cruiser 300, for instance, offers a spacious cabin with seating for eight, making it ideal for group trips to the Hajar Mountains or weekend getaways to Fujairah’s beaches.

Convertibles: Perfect for the Winter Season

From October to April, when temperatures hover between 20–30 °C and humidity drops, Dubai becomes a convertible paradise. The Ford Mustang and Porsche 718 Boxster dominate this segment, offering open-top thrills along the coastal Jumeirah Road or the tree-lined streets of Emirates Hills.

Morning coffee runs to Kite Beach and evening drives past the Dubai Marina skyline feel cinematic with the wind in your hair. By May, the heat climbs above 40 °C, making drop-tops less appealing—but during winter, they’re the ultimate way to experience Dubai’s perfect weather. Explore our full convertible car fleet for more options.

Top Convertibles for Winter

Model Daily Price (AED) Min Age
Ford Mustang Convertible 490 23+
Porsche 718 Boxster 1,190 25+
BMW 420 Convertible 700 21+

Most convertibles are available to drivers aged 21 and above, with sportier models like the Boxster requiring 25+ years. All come with no deposit at Brook Drive. The Mustang, in particular, offers a great balance of performance and affordability, making it a popular choice for tourists who want a taste of American muscle without breaking the bank.

Economy and Family Vehicles for Smart Travel

For tourists on longer stays or families exploring Dubai’s malls and parks, economy cars deliver unbeatable value. The Mazda 6 balances comfort, a spacious 500-liter trunk, and excellent fuel efficiency, making it ideal for daily commutes or road trips to Fujairah.

Compact models like the Kia Picanto simplify parking in multi-level garages at Dubai Mall or Mall of the Emirates, where squeezing into tight spots can save 15 minutes of circling. For larger groups, the Hyundai Staria seats seven with room for luggage, while the American-sized Chevrolet Tahoe offers commanding road presence and ample cargo space.

On monthly rentals, these cars drop to as low as 200 AED per day, making them the smart choice for extended vacations or business relocations. They may not turn heads like a Lamborghini, but they’ll get you everywhere you need to go—reliably and affordably.

Best Value & Family Cars

Model Daily Price (AED) Long-Term Benefit
Mazda 6 390 ~200 AED/day on monthly rent
Hyundai Staria 590 7-seater van
Chevrolet Tahoe 790 Spacious US Full-size

Drivers must be 21+ years old with a valid license. These models prioritize practicality over prestige, yet they handle Dubai’s highways with ease and keep your fuel budget in check. The Mazda 6, for instance, averages around 7–8 liters per 100 km, which translates to significant savings over a month-long rental.

Electric Vehicles: The Rising Trend in 2025

Dubai’s EV infrastructure has matured rapidly: over 400 charging stations with 740+ charging points now dot the city, from Dubai Mall’s underground garages to the Atlantis The Palm hotel. The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) operates most stations, offering fast charging at around 1.25 AED per kWh—far cheaper than petrol.

Tesla leads the rental EV market, with the Model X providing seating for seven and a 500+ km range on a full charge. The Mercedes EQS 580 combines electric silence with S-Class luxury, while the Hummer EV turns heads with its military-grade design and instant torque. Superchargers can refill 80% battery in 25–40 minutes, making EVs practical for airport runs or day trips to Abu Dhabi.

As eco-consciousness grows, more tourists choose electric to reduce their carbon footprint without sacrificing performance. The silent acceleration of an EV also adds a futuristic feel to your Dubai experience—especially when cruising past the Museum of the Future or the Dubai Frame.

EV Fleet

Model Daily Price (AED)
Tesla Model X 1,190
Mercedes EQS 580 990
Hummer EV 1,990

Most EVs require drivers to be 23+ years old. Brook Drive includes a charging cable with every EV rental, and our team can guide you to the nearest DEWA or Tesla Supercharger. We also provide a quick tutorial on using the charging network, so you’ll never be stranded with a low battery.

Essential Requirements for Renting in Dubai

Before you book, ensure you meet these criteria to avoid last-minute surprises:

1. Documents

You’ll need a valid passport, your home country’s driver’s license, and an International Driving Permit (IDP). While nationals of GCC countries, the EU, USA, and a few others can technically drive on their home licenses, most rental companies—including Brook Drive—require an IDP to ensure full insurance coverage. It’s a quick formality that saves headaches.

2. Age & Experience

Minimum age is 21 years for standard cars (economy, family sedans). Luxury and sports cars require 25+ years with at least 3–5 years of driving experience. Some insurers charge a young-driver surcharge for those under 25, but at Brook Drive, we keep fees transparent with no hidden costs.

3. Salik (Toll System)

Dubai’s electronic toll system, Salik, charges 4–6 AED per gate crossing. All our vehicles come with a pre-installed Salik tag, and charges are automatically billed to your rental account. You’ll see a daily breakdown in your contract, so there are no surprises. Unpaid Salik fines can block visa renewals and airport exits, so settle your balance before departure.

4. Brook Drive Advantage: No Deposit

Unlike most companies that freeze 2,000–10,000 AED on your credit card, we offer zero-deposit rentals across all categories—from the Mazda 6 to the McLaren 750S. This frees up your funds for shopping, dining, and experiences. We also accept cryptocurrency payments, making us the most flexible rental service in Dubai.

Always carry your documents in the car. Police checkpoints are rare but do occur, and having everything in order (passport, license, IDP, rental contract) ensures a smooth experience. If you’re stopped, officers are generally courteous and professional—just present your documents and you’ll be on your way in minutes.

Insider Tips for First-Time Renters

Renting a car in Dubai is straightforward, but a few insider tips can enhance your experience:

  • Book in Advance: During peak seasons (November–March), popular models like the G63 and Ferrari F8 sell out quickly. Reserve at least 2–3 weeks ahead to secure your preferred car.
  • Inspect the Car: Before driving off, walk around the vehicle with the rental agent and document any existing scratches or dents. Take photos or videos with your phone. This protects you from liability for pre-existing damage.
  • Understand Fuel Policies: Most rentals operate on a «full-to-full» policy—you receive the car with a full tank and return it full. Petrol stations are abundant, but avoid returning the car empty, as refueling fees can be steep (often 3–4 AED per liter above market rate).
  • Parking Etiquette: Dubai’s malls and public areas use paid parking. Download the RTA Dubai Drive app to pay for street parking via your phone. Valet services are common at hotels and restaurants—expect to tip 10–20 AED.
  • Speed Limits: Highways are typically 100–120 km/h, with a 20 km/h buffer before cameras flash. However, don’t rely on this—fines start at 300 AED and escalate quickly. Radar detectors are illegal and can result in vehicle impoundment.

These small details can make the difference between a seamless rental experience and a frustrating one. At Brook Drive, our team briefs every customer on local driving norms, so you’ll feel confident from the moment you hit the road.

Conclusion: Find Your Perfect Ride in Dubai

Whether you’re chasing the thrill of a Ferrari F8 down Sheikh Zayed Road, projecting authority in a G63 AMG, or simply exploring the city in a fuel-efficient Mazda 6, Dubai’s rental market offers something for every traveler. In 2025, the rise of electric vehicles and the enduring appeal of supercars coexist, reflecting the city’s blend of innovation and luxury.

At Brook Drive, we simplify the process: no deposits, transparent pricing, and a fleet that spans every category. For longer stays, our weekly and monthly rental plans unlock savings of up to 50%, so you can focus on enjoying Dubai—not worrying about costs.
