The fleet has five Rolls-Royce models: the Wraith coupe with a 6.6-litre V12 rated at 632 hp, and the Ghost, Dawn, Cullinan and Phantom, all built around the same 6.75-litre V12 rated at 571 hp, yet priced very differently, from AED 1,800 to AED 4,500 a day. Among these four, the gap is not about the engine, it is about the body and the model's status within the lineup. Below are the rates for September 2026 and an honest look at what makes more sense for a visitor to Dubai, a week of renting or owning a Rolls-Royce.
Rolls-Royce rental prices by model
| Model | Per day, AED | Per week, AED | Per month, AED | Specs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rolls-Royce Wraith | 1,800 | 9,900 | 30,600 | 632 hp, 4 seats, coupe |
| Rolls-Royce Ghost | 2,800 | 15,400 | 47,600 | 571 hp, 5 seats |
| Rolls-Royce Dawn | 3,200 | 17,600 | 54,400 | 571 hp, 4 seats, convertible |
| Rolls-Royce Cullinan | 3,500 | 19,250 | 59,500 | 571 hp, 5 seats, SUV |
| Rolls-Royce Phantom | 4,500 | 24,750 | 76,500 | 571 hp, 5 seats |
The weekly rate is roughly equal to six days, the monthly rate to 17-22 days depending on the model.
Rolls-Royce Wraith, AED 1,800 a day
The Wraith is the brand's two-door coupe with rear-hinged coach doors and the most affordable way into a Rolls-Royce in the fleet: a 6.6-litre twin-turbo V12 with 632 hp, four seats and a starlight headliner. It suits a couple rather than a group, and the deep 470-litre boot takes a couple's luggage for a long trip.
Rolls-Royce Ghost, AED 2,800 a day
After the Wraith coupe, the Ghost is the most accessible entry into the brand and the most versatile model: a five-seat sedan compact enough to park at a hotel in the centre, yet carrying the full Rolls-Royce presence. People book it for airport transfers, business meetings and wedding processions when the brand itself matters more than the size of a Phantom.
Rolls-Royce Dawn, AED 3,200 a day
The Dawn is a four-seat convertible, the only open-top model from the brand in the fleet. The price of the folding roof and low-volume production adds AED 400 over the Ghost on the same platform and engine. People rent it for a specific purpose: an evening drive along Dubai Marina or JBR with the roof down, a photoshoot, a proposal.
Rolls-Royce Cullinan, AED 3,500 a day
The Cullinan is the brand's SUV, the tallest and most noticeable body in the lineup, five seats and a higher seating position than the sedans. It has been the most popular Rolls-Royce model in Dubai in recent years: it works in the city and for a photo against the desert or the Burj Khalifa, where the silhouette of a large SUV matters more than that of a sedan.
Rolls-Royce Phantom, AED 4,500 a day
The Phantom is the brand's flagship and the most expensive Rolls-Royce in the fleet. It is not simply a longer Ghost, it sits on its own platform with the longest waiting list at the factory and a reputation as the car for heads of state and top business figures. People book it for occasions where the fact of a Phantom at the entrance matters more than practicality: a wedding, an anniversary, welcoming an important guest.
Renting versus buying: what makes more sense
This question comes up regularly, especially from visitors who spend a few months of the year in Dubai. A direct comparison in dirhams would not be honest: the price of a new Rolls-Royce depends on the specification, Bespoke personalisation and the exchange rate at the time of purchase, and any specific figure here would just be guessing. The general logic, though, is worth laying out.
Buying means more than the price of the car itself. In the UAE that includes registration, comprehensive insurance for a car in this class, which costs noticeably more for the luxury segment than for a regular sedan, parking and storage if you do not have your own garage, and fast depreciation in the first years, luxury models lose value on the resale market faster than mainstream brands precisely because the pool of buyers is small. On top of that comes scheduled servicing at an official dealer, which is not cheap on any Rolls-Royce.
If you spend two to three weeks a year in Dubai, even a month of renting the most expensive models at AED 47,600 to 76,500 works out cheaper than a full year of ownership costs, insurance, servicing and depreciation piling up over the months the car sits in a garage without you. Renting also makes sense for anyone who wants to try different models before deciding which to buy, in a single visit it is realistic to drive the Ghost, Dawn and Cullinan in turn and compare them in person. Buying makes sense if you live in the UAE full time and use the car every week, then ownership costs spread over years and stop being the deciding factor.
What to compare between renting and buying
| Cost item | A week of renting | Owning in the UAE |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed amount known upfront | Yes, set at booking | No, depends on spec and the market |
| Insurance | Included in the rate | A separate cost, pricier for luxury than for a regular car |
| Depreciation | Not the renter's concern | Faster than mainstream brands because the buyer pool is small |
| Servicing and downtime | Not the renter's concern | Scheduled dealer servicing plus cost while the car sits idle |
The table does not replace a calculation with real figures, but it shows the main point: renting has no hidden cost items that appear after a purchase and stretch out over years.
Requirements and insurance
Terms are the same across all five models: 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, and the extra-kilometre rate on these models sits at the top of the pricing scale, agree on unlimited mileage in advance for longer trips such as to Abu Dhabi.
How to book
Payment is by card, cash or bank transfer, full prepayment, no deposit. 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.
Fuel and what each model is usually booked for
The car is handed over with a full tank, on rentals of 5 days or more the first tank is free, after that you top up as you go. Fuel prices in the UAE are revised monthly, the easiest way to check the current figure is the ADNOC or ENOC app before your trip. The Ghost is most often booked for airport transfers and business meetings, the Dawn for an evening drive along the promenade with the roof down, the Cullinan for family outings and photos against the desert or the Burj Khalifa, the Phantom for weddings and welcoming important guests, when the model's status matters more than manoeuvrability in the city.
Example: a week with the Ghost
The Ghost for 7 days: AED 15,400. Fuel for moderate city driving: roughly AED 400 to 600. 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 16,000 to 16,200 for a week on the Ghost, with no deposit and no hidden extras.
