The Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG shows up in more tourist stories out of Dubai than any other car, and that is not an accident: it is the only car in this lineup where a single booking gives you three genuinely different characters, from the standard G63 to the retuned Brabus 900 Rocket Edition. The fleet carries three versions, from AED 1,300 to 2,500 a day. Below is the difference between them, the rates for September 2026, and the spots in the city where the G63 photographs best.
G63 rental prices by version
| Version | Per day, AED | Per week, AED | Per month, AED | Specs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG | 1,300 | 7,540 | 24,700 | 585 hp, 5 seats |
| G63 AMG Double Night Package | 2,000 | 12,000 | 44,000 | 585 hp, blacked-out exterior trim |
| G63 AMG Brabus 900 Rocket Edition | 2,500 | 13,999 | 49,999 | Brabus tuning |
The weekly rate is roughly equal to six days, the monthly rate to 17-22 days depending on the version.
Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG, AED 1,300 a day
The standard G63: a 585 hp twin-turbo V8, the boxy body whose silhouette has not really changed in decades, and four-wheel drive built for real off-road use, not just the look of an SUV in the city. It is the most affordable of the three versions and, at the same time, arguably the single most recognisable rental car in Dubai overall, booked both for a week's holiday and for one evening for a specific photo.
G63 AMG Double Night Package, AED 2,000 a day
The Double Night Package is a fully blacked-out exterior version: the grille, trim, wheels and the elements that are normally chrome are finished in black. The engine and the output stay the same 585 hp as the standard version, the difference is purely in the look, but this is usually the exact car behind the photos that go viral, a black G63 against Dubai at night looks sharper than the standard chrome finish.
G63 AMG Brabus 900 Rocket Edition, AED 2,500 a day
The Brabus 900 Rocket Edition is tuned by the German house Brabus, the most expensive and most noticeable of the three. Brabus changes more than the look, wide arches, its own aero body kit, signature wheels, it also retunes the engine relative to the factory AMG version. This is the car for anyone for whom the standard G63 is not enough and who wants the maximum status within this body style without stepping up into Lamborghini Urus or Rolls-Royce Cullinan territory.
Why the G63 is Dubai's most iconic rental car
It is not just about power or price, the supercars in the fleet are both more powerful and more expensive. People who have no interest in cars still recognise the G63: the boxy silhouette, the upright headlights, the distinct V8 idle. It is a rare car that looks equally at home outside a luxury hotel, on a desert track and in a shot with a Louis Vuitton suitcase in the boot, which is exactly why it has become the go-to symbol of Dubai on tourists' Instagram, right alongside the Burj Khalifa. And unlike the supercars, the G63 can genuinely leave the tarmac, four-wheel drive and high ground clearance make it capable on light off-road terrain rather than just looking the part.
Where to photograph the G63 in Dubai
- Downtown Dubai near the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall: the classic shot against the world's tallest building, best early in the morning or in the evening when there are fewer cars in frame.
- Museum of the Future: the futuristic torus against a black or blacked-out G63 gives a contrast that works well on camera.
- Dubai Marina promenade and JBR: skyscrapers and yachts in the background, easy to pull over along the waterfront for a shot.
- Palm Jumeirah, the Crescent loop road: a view of the Atlantis hotel and the Dubai skyline from the water.
- The desert edge along the road to Al Qudra: the rare chance to shoot the car not just outside a hotel but on the terrain it is actually built for, sand.
Photo and video rules in public places in Dubai mostly concern filming other people and restricted sites rather than the car itself, but it is best to avoid stopping in active traffic lanes and to check the rules for a specific location if the plan involves a tripod and time for a proper shot.
Requirements and insurance
Requirements are the same across all three versions and no different from renting a regular sedan: age from 21, driving experience from 1 year, no deposit. Basic insurance with own-damage cover is included in the rate, full zero-excess cover is available for an extra fee, ask for the current rate when you book. Mileage is 250 km a day.
Interior and everyday use
All three versions share the same interior: leather trim, two wide screens across the dashboard, and strong air conditioning, which in Dubai from June to September is not an option but a necessity. The back row seats three adults, and the boot opens sideways rather than up, because of the spare wheel mounted on the G-Class's characteristic rear door. That does not get in the way of daily use, the G63 works equally well for an airport run with luggage and for a full day around the city with stops at hotels and malls.
Fuel and how to book
The car is handed over with a full tank, on rentals of 5 days or more the first tank is free. The V8 on all three versions drinks noticeably more than a mainstream crossover, especially on the Brabus with its retuned engine, it is easiest to check the current fuel price in the ADNOC or ENOC app before your trip. We do not take a deposit, payment is by card, cash or bank transfer, full prepayment. 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. The minimum rental is 1 day.
Which version to choose
The standard G63 AMG suits anyone who cares about the car itself and its off-road ability rather than a specific look, it is the same body and the same engine as the other two versions, just without the altered trim. The Double Night Package is worth booking for a shoot or evening drives where the contrast of black against the city's lights matters, the price gap over the standard version is purely aesthetic, the specs do not change. The Brabus 900 Rocket Edition gets picked when the status of a plain G63 is not enough and you want a car that stands out even among other G63s in traffic, it is the rarest of the three both in the fleet and on Dubai's roads generally.
Example: a week with the standard G63
The G63 AMG for 7 days: AED 7,540. Fuel for active city driving: roughly AED 500 to 700 given how the V8 drinks. Salik for daily trips: around AED 150 to 200 for the week. Delivery and collection are free on rentals of 7 days or more. The total lands around AED 8,200 to 8,400 for a week on the most recognisable car in the fleet, with no deposit.
