The Kia Picanto is our economy hatchback at AED 55 per day. It is a 5-seat petrol car with a 1.2-litre engine.
Yes. Weekly rentals start from AED 330 and monthly from AED 1155. All our Kias are available for long-term hire.
You need your passport, a valid visa or entry stamp, and a driving licence from your home country. If your licence is not in Latin script, you also need an international driving permit (IDP).
From AED 55 per day, choose from 7 Kia models in Dubai, including sedans, SUVs, and an 8-seat minivan. We deliver to your hotel or DXB/DWC airport, 24/7.
Choosing the right Kia for a trip here comes down to how many seats you need and where you plan to drive. Our fleet spans seven models, from the AED 55 per day Picanto for solo city runs to the 8-seat Carnival at AED 320 per day for large groups. Each car is delivered to you anywhere in the city, so the model you pick simply needs to match your itinerary and passenger count.
The Picanto is a 5-seat hatchback with a 1.2 L engine and 84 hp, priced at AED 55 per day — the most economical way to move around Downtown or Deira. If you prefer a saloon, the Pegas adds a 1.4 L engine and 95 hp for AED 65 per day, with a larger boot for airport luggage. Both are petrol cars that handle Sheikh Zayed Road traffic comfortably, though you will feel the limits of their power on longer motorway runs to Abu Dhabi.
The Cerato saloon, at AED 95 per day, brings a 1.6 L engine and 128 hp, which suits business visitors spending time in Business Bay and Dubai Marina. The Sonet crossover, priced at AED 115 per day, offers a higher seating position and 115 hp, making it a practical choice for couples exploring Al Barsha and JVC. Both models return reasonable fuel consumption across mixed city and highway driving, and their compact size makes parking in busy areas like Karama straightforward.
Both models come with ample rear legroom and a raised ride, which helps on speed bumps common in residential areas like Mirdif and Dubai Silicon Oasis.
The Carnival minivan seats eight across three rows and pairs a 3.5 L V6 with 272 hp, making it our most powerful Kia at AED 320 per day. This is the model we suggest for extended families or colleagues travelling together, since it carries everyone plus luggage in a single car. Mileage terms and conditions for larger groups are set out in the rental agreement.
Hiring a Kia in Dubai starts at AED 55 per day for the Picanto, and every price we quote already includes comprehensive CDW insurance and 250 km of mileage. There are no hidden fees on top of the daily rate — the only extra shown separately is UAE VAT at 5%, which is standard across all companies in the emirate.
| Model | Class | Daily Rate | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kia Picanto | Economy hatchback | AED 55 | Solo city errands, short hops |
| Kia Pegas | Economy sedan | AED 65 | Budget-friendly commuting |
| Kia Cerato | Sedan | AED 95 | Business trips, comfort |
| Kia Sonet | Crossover | AED 115 | Small families, urban driving |
| Kia Seltos | Crossover | AED 150 | Weekend trips with luggage |
| Kia Sportage | SUV | AED 200 | Longer road journeys |
| Kia Carnival | 7-seater minivan | AED 320 | Groups of up to 8 people |
Weekly hire from AED 330 works out noticeably cheaper than paying the daily rate seven times over — on the Picanto that saves roughly AED 55 per week. Monthly rates start from AED 1155, which suits residents waiting for their own car registration or tourists on extended stays. For any booking longer than a few days, the per-day cost drops, and the reservation is still a simple request through WhatsApp rather than a lengthy checkout process.
The daily figures cover one car with 250 km per day included and CDW insurance — the two items that most other quotes leave as add-ons. Extra kilometres beyond the daily allowance are charged and set out in the agreement, as is the security deposit held on your card and released after return. Delivery to your hotel, apartment or either airport terminal — Dubai International (DXB) or Al Maktoum (DWC) — is part of the service, so the price you see is the price you pay before VAT. When comparing quotes, check whether the competitor's rate includes insurance and mileage — a lower headline number often turns out more expensive once those are added.
Kia car hire in Dubai with Rent-Trip is built around one simple idea: the car comes to you, wherever you are in the city, at any hour. There is no rental counter to visit and no office address to find — we deliver the Kia to your hotel, apartment or airport terminal, and the whole process takes about 20 minutes from handover to keys.
For residents of the UAE, a valid Emirates ID and a UAE driving licence are sufficient. Tourists need their passport with a valid visa or entry stamp, a home country driving licence, and an International Driving Permit if the licence is not printed in Latin script. The minimum age to take any Kia from our fleet is 21 — the Carnival minivan falls into the standard class, so no higher age limit applies. We check the documents at delivery, so have them ready to speed up the handover.
A security deposit is held on your card at pickup and released after the car is returned; the exact amount is set out in the agreement. Comprehensive insurance (CDW) is already included in the daily rate, and VAT at 5% is shown separately on your invoice. Every Kia comes with 250 km per day included — extra kilometres are charged per the agreement. If you plan a longer trip, such as a run to Abu Dhabi or Al Ain, the daily limit usually covers the round trip, but check the route distance before you set off.
Picking the right Kia comes down to two questions: how many seats you need and what class fits the trip. Our fleet here spans seven models from an AED 55/day city hatchback to an 8-seat minivan at AED 320/day, so the choice is about matching the car to your itinerary rather than compromising on it.
The Carnival is the only 8-seat model in our Kia fleet, and at AED 320/day it replaces two standard sedans for group travel. Its 3.5 L engine (272 hp) handles a full load of passengers plus luggage without strain on the motorway to Ras Al Khaimah. If you are moving six or seven people between Dubai International Airport (DXB) and a Marina hotel, this minivan usually works out cheaper than two separate hires once you add the second car's insurance and mileage allowance.
Every Kia in our fleet is hired on the same terms regardless of model: a 250 km daily mileage allowance, comprehensive CDW insurance included in the price, and delivery to your location anywhere in the city 24/7. The security deposit is held on your card and released after the hire, with the exact amount set out in the agreement. The minimum driver age is 21 across our Kia range, and the AED 55–320 daily price spread means the class upgrade from a Picanto to a Sportage costs less than AED 150 per day — often worth it for the extra power on out-of-town routes.
A rental Kia from Rent-Trip comes with 250 km per day included, which covers Dubai and most of the UAE on a single tank of thought. The real question is not whether the car can handle the drive, but where the agreement lets you take it — and that line is drawn clearly at the UAE border.
Within the city, a Kia Picanto or Pegas is the practical pick for stop-start traffic on Sheikh Zayed Road, while a Seltos or Sportage gives a higher seating position for the Marina and Downtown areas. Salik toll gates are scattered across main routes and cost AED 4 off-peak or AED 6 peak per gate — the reader keeps a Salik tag balance topped up, as the rental company passes the charge on. Parking in Deira and Bur Dubai is metered, whereas most malls in Dubai Marina, JVC and Mirdif offer free spaces for the first few hours. The daily 250 km allowance is generous for city use; a full loop of Dubai from DXB to Al Quoz and back rarely exceeds 60 km.
Crossing into Oman requires a separate permit and separate insurance, which we do not arrange, so a rental Kia must stay within the UAE. The same goes for desert tracks and dune areas — off-road driving is prohibited by the rental agreement, and desert excursions are done with a licensed tour operator, not in a rental car. The 250 km daily limit applies across the UAE, and extra kilometres are charged as set out in the rental agreement. On a week-long rental from AED 330, a trip to Abu Dhabi and back each day stays within the allowance; plan anything longer against the odometer before you set off.
Once you have matched the model to your trip, send us a booking request on WhatsApp or by phone with your dates and delivery address in Dubai — we confirm availability and bring the car to you, day or night.
Kia rentals in Dubai for business travel come down to two scenarios: collecting visitors from the airport or moving yourself between meetings across the city. Our delivery covers both Dubai International (DXB) Terminals 1 and 3 and Al Maktoum (DWC), so the car meets you or your guest at arrivals rather than requiring a taxi from the terminal.
The Cerato at AED 95 per day handles the Business Bay–Dubai Marina run comfortably, and its 128 hp is enough for the merge onto Sheikh Zayed Road at peak times. Parking at most office towers in Downtown and JLT is valet or paid; factor AED 20–40 per visit into the day. Salik gates on the route cost AED 4 off-peak or AED 6 peak each — a meeting-heavy day crossing town twice rarely exceeds two gates. The 250 km daily allowance covers a full day of client visits without touching the odometer limit.
The rental agreement for any Kia from our fleet sets out the figures that the headline price does not: the security deposit amount, the excess on the CDW cover, the charge for extra kilometres beyond 250 per day, and any delivery fee if the drop-off point changes. Read those lines before the handover, not after — the car is delivered to you, so there is no counter clerk to clarify terms later.
Off-road driving, dune bashing and desert tracks are prohibited by the rental agreement — the car stays on paved roads, and desert excursions are done with a licensed tour operator. Crossing into Oman requires a separate permit and separate insurance, which we do not arrange, so the agreement limits driving to the UAE. The minimum driver age is 21 for our Kia fleet, and the driver named in the agreement must be the one holding the licence at delivery.
Monthly Kia rentals in Dubai from AED 1155 suit residents between cars, waiting for registration, or simply avoiding the cost of owning a second vehicle. The monthly rate covers the same terms as a daily hire — CDW included, 250 km per day, delivery to your address — but at a per-day cost well below the daily price. For the Picanto at AED 55 per day, a month at AED 1155 works out to about AED 38 per day, a saving of roughly AED 500 over paying daily.
A monthly reservation is a request through WhatsApp or by phone with your dates and delivery address — there is no online checkout and no branch to visit. The car is delivered to your home or apartment in Dubai, and the agreement sets out the deposit, excess and mileage terms for the full period. Salik tolls and any fines are billed to the company and settled with you at the end of the month, so keep the Salik tag balance topped up. For a resident holding an Emirates ID and a UAE licence, the handover takes about 20 minutes at your door.
Dubai's climate shapes how you use a rental Kia more than any other factor: summer months push driving into the early morning and after sunset, while the cool season from October to April makes daytime road trips pleasant. Every Kia on this page has working air conditioning, and the petrol engines cope with the heat without issue — but your plans should adapt to the season.
From October, daytime temperatures make the Seltos or Sportage the pick for weekend trips to Hatta or Ras Al Khaimah, with the 250 km daily allowance covering the round trip. The Carnival at AED 320 per day comes into its own for group outings in the cooler months — eight seats and 272 hp handle a full load up the coast road without strain. Winter evenings are mild enough for top-down driving, though no Kia on this page is a convertible; the Cerato's 128 hp is ample for evening runs along Sheikh Zayed Road. Book the car for the full cool season at the monthly rate from AED 1155 rather than paying daily, and the car is yours for every long weekend from October to April.
