You can rent an executive sedan in Dubai from us from AED 550 a day (Hongqi H9), and the class benchmarks, the Mercedes-Benz S500 from AED 698 and the Audi A8 L from AED 900. The BMW 740Li is AED 1,000, the Lexus LS 500 AED 1,100, the electric BMW i7 AED 1,300 and the Mercedes-Maybach S580 AED 2,200 a day. You drive yourself, and a weekly rental cuts the daily cost by roughly 8 to 21 percent.
Which executive sedans we actually have
To be straight about the line-up: our flagship sedans are the Mercedes-Benz S500 2023, Mercedes-Maybach S580 2024, BMW 740Li 2024 and its electric twin the BMW i7 xDrive60 2024, Audi A8 L 2023, Lexus LS 500 2024 and the Chinese Hongqi H9 2024. Above them sit the Bentley Flying Spur and the Rolls-Royce Ghost and Phantom, which is a different price bracket. We do not currently list a Genesis G90. Prices as of November 2026; the current price is on each car page.

How they differ and which to pick
Mercedes-Benz S500. The benchmark: a 435 hp six-cylinder with hybrid assistance, all-wheel drive and rear-axle steering, which makes a long car far easier to turn than you would expect. Massage and ventilation on every seat. The right pick if you will do most of the driving.
BMW 740Li. A long-wheelbase sedan built around the back seat: a fold-down 31-inch screen for rear passengers, blinds on every window and massage seats. If you are carrying partners or family, this is the most passenger-focused option below the Maybach.
BMW i7 xDrive60. The same idea with no combustion engine: 544 hp, all-wheel drive and a quoted range of around 620 km. Around Dubai that covers several days of driving without a charging stop.
Audi A8 L. A long-wheelbase version with air suspension that scans the road ahead and rear seats with a footrest. Calm and understated, at AED 900 a day against AED 698 for the S500.
Lexus LS 500. One of the quietest cars in its class, with 416 hp, all-wheel drive, Mark Levinson audio and a rear seat with a footrest.
Hongqi H9. The flagship of China's state marque, 5.14 metres long, with air suspension, massage seats and a fridge. The cheapest way into a car of this size, though the brand is less known in Dubai.
Mercedes-Maybach S580. A four-seater whose rear seats recline almost flat, with footrests, a fridge and blinds. This is a car for the passenger rather than the driver.
Business meetings in practice
Business Dubai is concentrated in DIFC, Downtown, Business Bay and around Dubai Marina, linked by Sheikh Zayed Road and its Salik gates. A crossing costs AED 6.30 at peak times (Monday to Saturday, 6:00 to 10:00 and 16:00 to 20:00) and AED 4.20 otherwise. You pay crossings at actual cost, settled after return.
A long sedan is awkward in tight street bays, so for meetings at hotels and office towers the valet is the easy option. Morning traffic into DIFC and Downtown is real, so leave a margin. Each day includes 250 km, which is almost always enough for business driving in the city.
Airport arrival, driving yourself
If you are flying in for a week of meetings, it is convenient to take the car straight to your hotel. Delivery and return anywhere in Dubai are free on rentals from 7 days; shorter rentals pay AED 210 for delivery and return together. For a handover at the airport itself, arrange it with us when booking and give us your flight number. You can also collect the car at our office in Princess Tower, Dubai Marina, open daily from 10:00 to 19:00.
If you would rather not drive at all, we have a separate article on chauffeur-driven car rental.
When a flagship is not essential
For a long business trip, a business-class sedan one step down is often the smarter choice. The Lexus ES 350 2024 is AED 300 a day, the Audi A6 45 TFSI 2025 AED 348, the BMW 530i xDrive 2024 AED 448 and the Mercedes-Benz E300 2025 AED 600. These are still large, quiet sedans with a proper back seat, and over a month the difference adds up: the Lexus ES 350 is AED 6,000 for 30 days against AED 15,900 for the S500.
