Choose a daily rental if you need a car for a few days. Choose a monthly rental if you need one for a month or longer. With Prox Rentals, monthly rentals cost less per day, have no deposit and include routine maintenance.
If your stay falls in between, a weekly rental is often the middle ground. Here is how the three compare.

Daily Rental: Pros and Cons
Pros
- Flexible: no minimum rental period. Rent for one day or a few.
- Easy to change: pick a small car for city errands and a bigger one for a family day out.
- Free delivery: delivery is free anywhere in Dubai, with no minimum rental, and we deliver within 20 minutes.
Cons
- Higher cost per day: over several weeks, daily rates add up.
- Security hold: a refundable hold of AED 1,000 for UAE residents or AED 1,500 for tourists.
Monthly Rental: Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lower cost per day: one monthly rate instead of many daily ones.
- No deposit: nothing is held on your card.
- Less to manage: up to 4,000 km a month and routine maintenance are included.
- Support: 24/7 roadside assistance with a replacement car.
Cons
- A longer plan: it suits you only if you need a car most days of the month.
- One car: you keep the same car for the month.
A Real Example
Here are our published rates for three popular cars. Every rate excludes VAT.
| Car | Daily | Weekly | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nissan Sunny 2025 | AED 99 | AED 623 | AED 1,474 |
| Toyota Corolla 2023 | AED 110 | AED 699 | AED 1,899 |
| Toyota RAV4 2024 | AED 189 | AED 1,253 | AED 2,679 |
Add 5% VAT to each rate. For the Nissan Sunny, 15 days at the daily rate cost more than a full month on the monthly rate.
Which Option Is Right for You?
- Tourists on a short stay: a daily rental lets you pay only for the days you drive.
- Stays of one to four weeks: a weekly rental is lower per day than daily rentals.
- Long stays and business travelers: a monthly rental gives you a car every day for one rate.
- New UAE residents: a monthly rental gives you time to settle in before you decide on a car of your own.
