About this comparison
Daily rate is the number most people compare first, and at the bottom of Dubai's market a handful of dirhams separates most economy listings. What really separates them is the mileage allowance and what's included — so the table shows the mileage at each price next to the rate.
We currently list 1,242 cars for rent in Dubai with a published daily rate, from AED 145 to AED 14,249 a day. The cheapest right now is the MG 3 2024; the table shows the 15 lowest rates side by side.
How we picked
Every car in our Dubai catalogue with a published daily rate. Ordered by daily rate, lowest first. Rates are those supplied by each rental company and shown in AED; they exclude Salik tolls, traffic fines, fuel and any optional insurance excess waiver. Cars without a published rate are left out rather than shown as unpriced. The table is generated from live listings each time this page is served.
