Ferrari and Lamborghini are the two most recognised names in the Rentalcars Dubai fleet, and "which one should I get" is a question we hear constantly. There is no single right answer, the two brands solve different problems even where prices overlap. Below we go through the models we carry, the character of each brand, and who typically books a Ferrari versus a Lamborghini.
Models and prices
| Model | Power | Seats | Per day, AED | Per week, AED | Per month, AED |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ferrari Roma 2023 | 620 hp | 4 | 2,500 | 13,750 | 42,500 |
| Ferrari F8 Tributo Spider 2023 | 720 hp | 2 | 2,900 | 15,950 | 49,300 |
| Ferrari 296 GTB 2024 | 830 hp (hybrid) | 2 | 3,000 | 16,500 | 51,000 |
| Ferrari Purosangue 2024 | 725 hp | 4 | 6,000 | 33,000 | 102,000 |
| Lamborghini Urus 2023 | 650 hp | 5 | 1,800 | 9,900 | 30,600 |
| Lamborghini Urus Performante 2024 | 666 hp | 4 | 2,200 | 12,100 | 37,400 |
| Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica 2024 | 640 hp | 2 | 2,800 | 15,400 | 47,600 |
| Lamborghini Huracan Evo Spyder 2023 | 640 hp | 2 | 3,000 | 16,500 | 51,000 |
There is no Revuelto in the fleet, our top Lamborghini is the Huracan, not the Aventador successor. The Purosangue is currently the only Ferrari SUV and the most expensive car in this comparison, 6,000 AED a day.
Ferrari's character
Ferrari builds its image around racing heritage and engineering precision: the Roma is a grand tourer for long drives, elegant and understated to look at, with 620 hp under the surface. The F8 Tributo Spider adds an open top and nearly double the drama, 720 hp. The 296 GTB, the most powerful model in this comparison, 830 hp from a hybrid setup, is Ferrari's answer to emissions rules without losing performance. The Purosangue extends the range into an SUV while staying true to the brand: sharp handling and engine note matter more here than in an ordinary family crossover.
Lamborghini's character
Lamborghini has historically been about something else, not a racing pedigree but visual dominance. Angular bodywork, aggressive styling, an exhaust note audible a block away. The Huracan Tecnica and Evo Spyder keep that identity as pure two-seat sports cars, 640 hp on both. The Urus and Urus Performante carry the same character into an SUV body, with real practicality attached: 5 seats on the standard Urus, unusual for a supercar brand. Where Ferrari is more often chosen for the driving itself, Lamborghini is more often chosen for how the car looks on video and in a hotel valet line.
Practicality: how many seats
The seat count is not symmetric between the two brands. Ferrari has two four-seat options, the Roma and the Purosangue, and three two-seaters, the F8 Tributo Spider, the 296 GTB and the SF90 Stradale. Lamborghini has one five-seat option, the standard Urus, one four-seater, the Urus Performante, and two two-seaters, both Huracans. If you are travelling as a family or a group larger than two, the real choice narrows to the Roma, the Purosangue or any Urus, not to the pure sports cars on either side.
Price: where they meet, where they split
The entry price is not equal between the two brands: the cheapest Lamborghini, the Urus at 1,800 AED, undercuts the cheapest Ferrari, the Roma at 2,500 AED, by 700 AED a day. In the middle of the range prices converge: the Huracan Tecnica at 2,800 AED and the F8 Tributo Spider at 2,900 AED sit almost level, and the Huracan Evo Spyder and the 296 GTB actually match, both at 3,000 AED a day. Further up the two paths split again, the Purosangue at 6,000 AED a day costs double any other model on this list, and Lamborghini has nothing at that price point in our fleet.
Who picks which
In our experience Ferrari tends to attract renters who already care about cars and value the drive itself: a long run down Sheikh Zayed Road in the Roma, the open top of the F8 Tributo Spider along the waterfront, or trying the hybrid 296 GTB out of curiosity about the brand's newest tech. Lamborghini is more often booked for a specific moment: a photoshoot, a birthday, content for social media, where the angular silhouette and the exhaust note do the work from the first second. The Urus breaks that pattern and often becomes the compromise pick for a family that wants a supercar badge with room for everyone.
Three quick scenarios
- You want to feel the car itself, a long highway run or a drive along the waterfront, and you are curious about the difference between a petrol and a hybrid Ferrari: look at the Roma, the F8 Tributo Spider or the 296 GTB.
- You need maximum impact on camera, a photoshoot, a birthday, content for social media: the Huracan Tecnica, the Huracan Evo Spyder or the Urus Performante work better thanks to their sharper silhouette.
- You are travelling as a family or a group larger than two but still want a supercar badge rather than an ordinary SUV: the Ferrari Purosangue at 6,000 AED or the Lamborghini Urus at 1,800 AED, a gap of almost three and a half times for broadly similar practicality.
Worth noting about the process itself: both brands in our fleet are handed over with a full tank, and the minimum rental is 1 day, which for a supercar is often exactly what you want, one striking day rather than the whole trip.
What is included
Terms are the same across all eight models: no deposit, minimum driver age 21, minimum 1 year of driving experience, minimum rental 1 day. Insurance is included, full zero-excess cover is available as a paid add-on. The included mileage is 250 km a day, the car is handed over with a full tank, and on rentals of 5 days or more the first tank is included. Delivery and collection anywhere in Dubai are free on rentals of 7 days or more, on shorter rentals delivery and collection together cost AED 210.
