Weekly Car Rental in Dubai

Weekly car rental in Dubai with Rent-Trip means a car delivered to you anywhere in the city, 24/7 — including Dubai International (DXB) and Al Maktoum (DWC) airports. Our fleet on this page holds 82 cars, from AED 55 per day for an economy hatchback to AED 5500 for a premium model, with weekly rates starting at AED 330.

What a Weekly Car Rental in Dubai Actually Costs

A weekly car rental in Dubai starts from AED 330 for an economy car and reaches AED 5500 per day for exotic models, with the price structure varying more by class than by rental period. At Rent-Trip, the weekly rate is simply the daily rate multiplied by seven days, so the longer you keep the car, the more negotiable the terms become on mileage and delivery.

The headline figure — AED 330 per week — covers a Kia Picanto or Hyundai Grand i10 at AED 55 per day. That price includes comprehensive insurance (CDW) and 250 km of driving per day, which is enough for roughly four trips along Sheikh Zayed Road between Deira and Dubai Marina. VAT at 5% is added separately at the end, and a security deposit is held on your card until the car is returned.

• Deposit: held as a block on your credit or debit card, released after the hire ends — the exact amount is set out in the rental agreement.
• Salik tolls: charged to you separately; each gate costs AED 4 off-peak and AED 6 during peak hours, and the total is settled after your trip.
• Extra kilometres: the daily allowance is 250 km; anything beyond that is billed per the rate in your agreement.
• Delivery: included across the city, 24/7 — we bring the car to your hotel or the airport, so there is no counter to visit.

The same logic applies across the fleet of 82 cars: a Toyota Corolla Sedan runs AED 120 per day, so a week comes to AED 840, while a 7-seat Toyota Fortuner at AED 320 per day works out to AED 1,920 for seven days. The most expensive models on the platform — the exotic class at AED 5500 per day — require the driver to be at least 25, and the weekly commitment rarely makes sense for those; a two-day hire is the usual pattern. For most weekly hires, the all-inclusive daily rate stays predictable and the deposit is the only variable to plan around, with the exact terms agreed when booking.

Choosing Your Weekly Rental Car by Class and Seats

The right class for a weekly car hire depends on your passenger count, luggage volume, and how far you plan to drive — economy hatchbacks start at AED 55 per day, while 7-seater SUVs like the Toyota Fortuner run AED 320 per day. Our fleet on this page holds 82 cars across six classes, each with a clear price step, so the choice comes down to matching seats and boot space to your itinerary rather than hunting for a specific model.

Economy Hatchbacks — the Budget Baseline for City Weeks

• Kia Picanto and Hyundai Grand i10: AED 55 per day, 5 seats, 1.2 L petrol — the cheapest way to cover a week of Marina-to-Deira runs.
• Suzuki Baleno, MG 3 and Nissan Micra: AED 60 per day, 5 seats, 1.5–1.6 L — a bit more power for the Sheikh Zayed Road commute.
• Chevrolet Groove: AED 70 per day, 5 seats, 1.5 L — a practical hatchback in this tier if you carry soft bags rather than suitcases.
• Why choose this class: parking is easy in JLT and Business Bay, and the fuel bill stays low on stop-start city traffic.

Sedans — Comfort for Longer Weekly Drives

A sedan suits a week-long trip that mixes the city with a day trip to Fujairah or Ras Al Khaimah — the boot offers generous space for luggage, and the extra length steadies the car at highway speeds. If your hire is purely urban with one suitcase per person, an economy hatchback saves you AED 200–300 across seven days without losing comfort.

Crossovers, SUVs and 7-Seaters — Space for Families and Groups

• Compact crossovers (Geely GX3 Pro, Kia Sonet, MG ZS): AED 110–120 per day, 5 seats, raised seating for easier entry.
• Mid-size SUVs (Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, Nissan X-Trail): AED 200–230 per day, 5 seats, strong air-conditioning for summer weeks.
• 7-seat options (Toyota Rush, Mitsubishi Xpander, Toyota Fortuner): AED 150–320 per day — the Xpander at AED 160 is the value pick for a group of six.
• When to size up: a family of four with luggage fits a Tucson comfortably; a group of six needs the Innova or Fortuner, and the extra AED 60–120 per day beats hiring two separate cars.

For a week with children, we usually recommend stepping up one class from what you drive at home — the daily rate difference is modest, and the extra space makes the trip more comfortable. Before you decide, check the luggage capacity for your chosen model — the exact details are set out in the rental agreement.

Airport Delivery — Landed, Weekly Car Rental in Dubai

We deliver your weekly rental car straight to the arrivals level at Dubai International (DXB, Terminals 1 and 3) and Al Maktoum (DWC) — you land, walk out with your luggage, and the keys are already with you. No rental counter to queue at, no shuttle bus, no waiting room: our driver meets you at the agreed terminal door and hands over the car with the CDW insurance and 250 km per day already included. This matters most on a long-haul arrival, when the last thing you want after a 6-hour flight is negotiating a desk.

Delivery Points and Timing

• DXB Terminal 1 and 3: we meet you at the arrivals level, by the designated pickup point — both terminals are covered around the clock.
• Al Maktoum (DWC): the same 24/7 meet-and-greet service applies at the newer airport on the Dubai–Abu Dhabi side.
• Night and early-morning arrivals: the 24/7 schedule covers red-eye flights, so a 1:00 AM landing still gets the car delivered on the spot.
• Hotel and apartment delivery: if you are staying in Dubai Marina, Downtown, JLT or Deira, we can bring the weekly vehicle to your accommodation instead — same no-office process.

What You Do Not Need to Handle

There is no branch address to find and no paperwork queue. The driver carries the agreement; you check the car together, note the mileage and any existing marks on the condition sheet, and drive off. The security deposit is held on your card, not taken in cash at the kerb. For a smooth handover at DXB or DWC, send us your flight number and arrival time when you book — the meeting point is then confirmed in the same WhatsApp thread, so you are not searching for us in a crowded arrivals hall.

Documents and Driver Rules for Your Week-Long Rental

Tourists and residents need different paperwork for a weekly car rental in Dubai, and the rules are straightforward if you prepare before arrival. Residents rent with their Emirates ID and a valid UAE driving licence, while tourists bring their passport with an entry stamp, a home-country licence, and an International Driving Permit if that licence is not issued in Latin script. We check documents at delivery, not at an office, since Rent-Trip brings the car to your hotel, apartment or airport terminal anywhere in the city 24/7, including Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Al Maktoum International (DWC).

Minimum Driver Age and Licence Rules

• Minimum age: you must be at least 21 years old to rent any car from our fleet; drivers of luxury, sports and exotic classes must be 25 or older.
• Tourist documents: passport with a UAE entry stamp, your home driving licence, and an IDP if the licence is in Arabic, Russian, Chinese or any non-Latin script.
• Resident documents: Emirates ID and a UAE driving licence; a home-country licence alone is not accepted for residents.
• Additional drivers: any additional driver conditions are set out in the rental agreement.

What to Expect at Delivery

When we deliver your weekly hire car to a Dubai address or airport terminal at DXB or DWC, the process takes about 15 minutes. We verify the driver's documents, review the rental agreement together, and walk around the car to note any existing scratches or marks before you sign. The security deposit is held on your card at delivery and released after the car is returned undamaged; the release period is set out in the rental agreement.

A Practical Note on Licence Validity

Your home licence must have been valid for at least one year before you book with us, and the IDP is a separate document — a translation alone does not replace it. If you are a tourist holding a licence from a GCC country, you can drive with that licence alone, without an IDP, for the duration of your stay.

Mileage, Insurance and the Deposit on a Weekly Hire

A weekly car hire from Rent-Trip always includes 250 km per day, comprehensive insurance (CDW) and a security deposit held on your card — the only variables you must confirm before booking are the excess and the extra-kilometre rate, both set out in the rental agreement.

What the weekly rate covers:

• 250 km per day: enough for a Dubai–Abu Dhabi round trip (about 280 km total); extra kilometres are charged per the agreement.
• Comprehensive insurance (CDW): included in the price, so a collision or theft leaves you covered up to the excess amount.
• Security deposit: held on your card at pickup and released after the car is returned undamaged — no cash, no hold on your daily spending limit.
• 24/7 delivery: the car reaches you at your hotel or DXB Terminal 1/3, so the inspection happens where you stand, not at a counter.
• VAT 5%: shown separately on your booking confirmation, never hidden inside the daily rate.

The deposit amount depends on the car class — an economy hatchback such as the Kia Picanto at AED 55 per day carries a smaller hold than a Toyota Fortuner at AED 320 per day. The release terms are set out in the rental agreement, provided the fuel level matches and the bodywork shows no new damage. On a weekly hire, check the odometer reading at delivery and photograph all four corners of the car — that 60-second habit settles most disputes before they start.

Taking a Weekly Rental Car Beyond Dubai

A weekly hire gives you enough time to see more than the city itself, and most of the UAE is an easy drive on well-maintained motorways. We allow our cars to be taken across the emirates, so a week can comfortably cover Abu Dhabi, the east coast at Fujairah or the mountain roads to Hatta. The main restrictions concern Oman and any driving off tarmac, so it pays to plan the route before you set off.

Where You Can Drive Without Extra Paperwork

Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah are all reachable on a standard weekly hire with no additional permits. The drive to Abu Dhabi takes about 90 minutes down the Sheikh Zayed Road, while Fujairah on the east coast is a longer trip across the emirates. Hatta is a possible day trip from Dubai, and the route there is agreed when booking.

• Abu Dhabi: about 140 km from Dubai Marina, mostly on a straight motorway; the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Corniche are the usual stops.
• Hatta: around 115 km east, a 90-minute drive into the foothills; the paved roads are fine for any sedan or hatchback.
• Fujairah: roughly 200 km via Sharjah or through the desert highway; the route is on a good two-lane road.

The Oman Border and the Rules That Apply

Oman is the one destination that needs planning ahead. Crossing the border at Hatta or Al Ain requires a separate permit and separate insurance for the vehicle, which we cannot arrange from our side. If Oman is on your itinerary, tell us at booking so we can advise on the paperwork; without the permit, border control will turn you back. Salik toll gates along the way are charged at AED 4 off-peak and AED 6 during peak hours, and the tolls are billed after the hire ends.

What the Rental Agreement Does Not Cover

Desert driving, dune bashing and any off-road route are prohibited by the agreement, so a weekly hire is not the way to explore the Empty Quarter. For desert excursions, book with a licensed tour operator who uses their own vehicles. Our fleet is built for roads — from a Kia Picanto at AED 55 per day to a Toyota Fortuner at AED 320 — and the 250 km per day allowance covers most round trips to Abu Dhabi or Hatta with room to spare.

Weekly vs Monthly — Which Rental Period Fits Your Trip

The choice between a weekly and a monthly hire comes down to how you plan to use the car: a week suits a focused stay with daily trips, while a month rewards you with a noticeably lower rate per day on the same classes. Our weekly pricing starts at AED 330 for an Economy hatchback like the Kia Picanto, and the monthly equivalent from AED 1155 — that is roughly AED 38 per day against AED 47 per day on the weekly rate, a saving of nearly 20% before you factor in the 5% VAT shown separately.

• Trip length: a stay of 7–13 nights fits a weekly booking; anything over two weeks pushes the monthly rate ahead on the same model.
• Daily driving: both periods include 250 km per day, so a weekly agreement covers about 1750 km and a monthly one roughly 7500 km before extra kilometres are charged.
• Delivery: whichever period you pick, we deliver the car to your hotel or any address across the city — including DXB and DWC — at no extra hassle, 24/7.
• Switching mid-trip: if you realise you need the car longer, the terms for moving from a weekly booking to a monthly one are set out in the rental agreement.

For a two-week holiday with day trips to Abu Dhabi or Hatta, a weekly option plus a short extension often works out simpler than committing to a full month. But if you are here for business or relocating, the monthly rate on a mid-size sedan such as the Toyota Corolla at AED 120 per day drops considerably, and the deposit structure stays the same — held on your card and released after return. A useful rule we apply for our clients: if your stay exceeds 16 days, ask for the monthly quote on the same car before you book, because the saving on most models is worth the extra minute of comparison.

Final Checklist Before You Book a Weekly Car Rental in Dubai

A week-long hire works only when the paperwork, delivery point and mileage terms are settled before you confirm. Run through this checklist and you will not lose time at pickup or face an unexpected charge at return.

Documents: residents need their Emirates ID and UAE licence; tourists bring a passport with entry stamp, a home licence, and an IDP if the licence is not printed in Latin script.

Driver age: the minimum is 21 for most classes, but luxury, sports and exotic cars require the driver to be 25 or older.

Delivery point: choose DXB Terminal 1 or 3, Al Maktoum (DWC), or any hotel and apartment address across the city — our driver meets you there 24/7, so there is no counter to queue at.

Mileage: 250 km per day are included in the weekly rate; extra kilometres are charged as set out in the agreement, so estimate your route to Abu Dhabi or Hatta before you book.

Insurance and deposit: comprehensive CDW cover is already in the price; a security deposit is held on your card and released after the car is returned, with the exact amount stated in the agreement.

Tolls and fuel: Salik toll charges and the fuel policy are set out in the rental agreement, so check both before you confirm the booking.

For a 7-day booking from AED 330, the weekly rate on an economy hatchback such as the Kia Picanto or Hyundai Grand i10 comes to roughly AED 330 including VAT at 5%, which is shown separately on the confirmation. Compare that against a monthly option from AED 1155 if your stay runs past three weeks — the per-day figure is set out in the rental agreement. When you send us a request on WhatsApp or by phone, name the delivery time and the terminal or hotel, and we will confirm the car class and the deposit in writing before you land.
