Three MINIs in our fleet
People rent a MINI in Dubai for character, not for economy: a compact car with quick steering, a recognisable look and easy parking. We have three, and all three are offered with no deposit and a minimum rental from 1 day. Prices are as of October 2026, and the current price is always on the car page.
- MINI Cooper S 2024: a three-door hatchback with a 2.0-litre turbo engine, front-wheel drive and four seats. 280 AED a day, 1,680 AED a week, 5,600 AED a month.
- MINI Cooper Convertible 2024: a 2.0-litre 178 hp engine, 0 to 100 km/h in 7.2 seconds, four seats and a 215-litre boot. 300 AED a day, 1,800 AED a week, 6,000 AED a month.
- MINI Countryman 2025: the biggest MINI at 4.4 metres, with a 1.5-litre 170 PS engine, five seats and a boot of 450 to 1,450 litres. 350 AED a day, 2,100 AED a week, 7,000 AED a month.
How they compare with similar options
| Car | Seats | Day, AED | Week, AED | Month, AED |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MINI Cooper S 2024 | 4 | 280 | 1,680 | 5,600 |
| MINI Cooper Convertible 2024 | 4 | 300 | 1,800 | 6,000 |
| MINI Countryman 2025 | 5 | 350 | 2,100 | 7,000 |
| Ford Mustang EcoBoost Convertible 2024 | 4 | 300 | 1,800 | 6,000 |
| Volkswagen Golf 2024 | 5 | 160 | 1,040 | 3,500 |
To be straight about it: if you simply want an inexpensive car, the Golf costs nearly half as much. A MINI is chosen for its character and its format, not for the price.
A small car in Dubai traffic
Dubai was built around the car, so the roads are wide and big interchanges and multi-lane highways are no problem for a MINI. With around 170 horsepower it joins a highway confidently. The real advantages of a small body show up in town.
- Parking. In Dubai Marina, Downtown and the malls, many bays are taken by big SUVs. A short MINI fits into gaps where a large SUV will not.
- Turning and lane changes. A short wheelbase helps in tight car parks, in the side streets of Jumeirah and when you need to cross lanes for an exit.
- Fuel. A small engine usually burns less than a V6 or V8, but we do not publish exact consumption figures, so go by the car description.
There are downsides too. The boot is small: the Cooper Convertible holds 215 litres, enough for two people with cabin bags but not for a family with suitcases. Treat the rear seats of the three-door cars as extra space for short hops. For a family, take the Countryman.
The convertible: when to open the roof
The Cooper Convertible roof folds in 18 seconds and can also open partly like a sunroof. In the cooler season, November to March, it is one of the most enjoyable cars for a drive along Jumeirah or the waterfronts. In summer the daytime sun is stronger than it looks: open the roof in the evening or early morning, and keep it closed with the air conditioning on during the day.
Which MINI for whom
- A couple for a few days: the Cooper Convertible for leisurely driving, or the Cooper S if you prefer a quick hatchback.
- One person on a business trip: the Cooper S, easy to park by an office or hotel.
- A family, or two people with a lot of luggage: the Countryman, with five seats and split-folding rear seats.
Cost and savings
Rented for a week, the Cooper S costs 1,680 AED instead of 1,960 at the daily rate. A month is 5,600 AED, while 30 days at the daily price would be 8,400 AED. For the Cooper Convertible a week is 1,800 AED instead of 2,100, and a month is 6,000 AED instead of 9,000. On rentals of 7 days or more, delivery and return within Dubai are free; on shorter ones they cost 210 AED for both together.
Rental terms
Insurance and 250 km per day are included. Fines and Salik tolls are paid at actual cost. The driver must be at least 21 with at least a year of driving experience. You can pay by cash, card or e-wallet. Our office is in Princess Tower, Dubai Marina, open daily from 10:00 to 19:00.
