The cheapest cars to rent in Dubai
Last updated · 15 listings compared
About this comparison
Daily rate is the number most people compare first, and in Dubai the spread at the bottom of the market is narrow — a handful of dirhams separates most economy listings. What actually separates them is the mileage allowance, the minimum rental period and whether insurance is included, and those vary far more than the headline price does.
The table below shows the daily rate alongside the mileage included at that rate. A car with a lower daily rate and a tighter mileage cap is not necessarily the cheaper rental — the two have to be read together.
How we picked
We list every car in our Dubai car-rental catalogue that has a published daily rate, ordered from lowest to highest. Cars without a published rate are excluded rather than shown as unpriced. Rates are those supplied by the rental company and shown in AED; they exclude Salik tolls, traffic fines and any optional insurance excess waiver. The table is generated from live listings each time this page is served.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest car to rent in Dubai?
The lowest published daily rates are on economy models, and the table above lists them in order. Check the included mileage alongside the rate — the cheapest daily price often carries the tightest mileage cap.
Is it cheaper to rent a car by the month in Dubai?
Substantially. Monthly rates on most listings work out well below thirty times the daily rate and include a much larger mileage allowance, which is why monthly hire is common among residents rather than just visitors.
What is not included in the quoted rate?
Salik road tolls and any traffic fines are charged back to the renter, normally against the security deposit. Insurance is included in most quoted rates, but the excess you remain liable for varies by company.
