Dubai drives mostly big SUVs and Japanese sedans, and, more visibly than almost anywhere, supercars and luxury cars. A visitor can rent nearly all of these classes: we have about 360 cars from 56 brands, from compacts at AED 109 a day up to Ferrari and Rolls-Royce. Here is what you will see on the roads and what the same thing costs to rent.
What people drive in Dubai
Big SUVs. The Nissan Patrol and Toyota Land Cruiser are close to national cars here. People choose them for space for a big family, for desert trips and for status, and at weekends you see plenty of them heading for the dunes. Next to them are American full-size SUVs: Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, Cadillac Escalade.
Japanese and Korean sedans. The Toyota Camry and Corolla, Nissan Sunny and Hyundai Elantra are the backbone of everyday traffic. These are the cars people commute in, and many Dubai taxis are Toyota sedans too.
Supercars on ordinary streets. Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren and Rolls-Royce are not showroom exotica in Dubai; you will pass them in the evening in Downtown, at JBR or on the Palm. Dubai Police is also known for its sports cars, which are mostly seen in tourist areas.
Chinese brands. Jetour, Haval, Geely, BYD, Chery and Hongqi have become far more common on the roads in recent years. They undercut European rivals and come well equipped, so they found buyers quickly.
GCC spec. Cars sold in the Gulf states are built for the local climate, with uprated cooling and air conditioning for summer heat. We cover the difference from American-spec cars in a separate article.

One important caveat about the lowest prices. The cheapest economy, family sedan, people carrier and electric cars in the table are supplied by a partner company with its own terms: a AED 1,000 deposit and a minimum rental of 7 days. Our own more affordable cars, such as the Mazda 3 2023 at AED 119, the Toyota Raize at AED 148, the Hyundai Sonata at AED 160, the Tesla Model 3 at AED 250 and the Kia Carnival Noblesse at AED 298 a day, also have a 7-day minimum. For one or two days, look at premium cars.
Renting the Dubai look
Like a local family. The Nissan Patrol Titanium 2021 is AED 348 a day, the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 2024 AED 400, the Land Cruiser 300 GXR 2024 AED 520 and the Nissan Patrol Platinum V8 2024 AED 550. For the most upmarket car of this type, the Lexus LX 600 2024 is AED 900.
Like a resident commuting to work. The Toyota Camry 2025 is AED 180 a day and AED 1,170 a week; the Hyundai Sonata 2024 is AED 160 and AED 1,040. For a month the Camry costs AED 3,950.
Like a Downtown postcard. Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray Convertible at AED 750 a day, Ferrari Roma AED 2,500, Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica AED 2,800, Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG AED 1,300, Rolls-Royce Cullinan AED 3,500.
The new way, in a Chinese car. The seven-seat Jetour X70 from AED 145 a day (a partner car), the Geely Monjaro at AED 190 and the Hongqi H9 at AED 550.

Who can rent
Drivers from 21 years old with at least one year of experience; some supercars have stricter terms, shown on the car page. You need a passport and licence, and for some countries an International Driving Permit as well: the country list is in our UAE licence guide, and if your country is not on it, check with us before booking. You can pay by cash, bank card or e-wallet.
How to choose and book
If it is your first time in Dubai and you are staying a week, a crossover or mid-size sedan is the sensible choice: easier to park and cheaper to run. If the desert or a big family is in the plan, take a Patrol or Land Cruiser. A supercar is usually rented for a day or two on top of an everyday car. Pick a car in the catalogue and send a request through the form on its page with your dates, or write to info@rentalcars-dubai.ae. Collect the car at our office in Princess Tower, Dubai Marina, open daily from 10:00 to 19:00, or have it delivered.
