Low-Cost Car Rental Options in Dubai: Prices and Tips

Low cost car rental options

The lowest-cost way to rent a car in Dubai is a small economy sedan or SUV, rented for as long as you need it. At Prox Rentals, rates start from AED 99 a day + 5% VAT. Weekly and monthly rentals bring the cost per day down further.

A cheap rate is only half the story. The real cost also depends on mileage, fuel, Salik and the deposit. This guide covers both.

What Makes the Total Cost Low

Mileage

Check how many kilometers are included. Our economy cars include 250 km a day. Each extra kilometer costs AED 1.85. Weekly rentals include 1,400 km a week.

Fuel

Our fuel rule is full to full. You receive the car with a full tank and return it full. A smaller car usually uses less fuel, which keeps this cost down.

Salik and Fines

Salik is charged at the current RTA rate for each crossing, with nothing added. No admin fee. Traffic fines are billed at the actual amount, with no markup.

Delivery

Delivery is free anywhere in Dubai, with no minimum rental, and we deliver within 20 minutes.

Security Hold

Daily and weekly rentals have a refundable security hold. It is AED 1,000 for UAE residents and AED 1,500 for tourists. It goes on a credit card, or you can leave a cash deposit. Monthly rentals have no deposit.

Mistakes That Make a Cheap Rental Expensive

  • Not asking about extra charges. Ask for every cost before you book. With us, your bill can include only the rate, 5% VAT, Salik crossings, traffic fines from your rental and extra kilometers.
  • Not reading the agreement. Check the fuel rule, the mileage and what you pay after an accident.
  • Skipping the car check. Look the car over at handover. Take photos of any marks before you drive away.
  • Going over your mileage. Plan long drives so you stay within your allowance.

No hidden charges. Every cost is shared with you before you book. Our terms and conditions set it all out.
