Rent a Mercedes-Benz in United Arab Emirates

Mercedes-Benz Rentals in the UAE

Dubai and Abu Dhabi have more Mercedes-Benz rentals per square kilometre than almost anywhere on earth. The market is mature, competitive, and well-stocked — you'll find everything from a base C-Class to a Maybach S-Class 680 at multiple fleet operators within a few kilometres of each other on Sheikh Zayed Road.

Models Available

The G 63 AMG is the single most requested model, its 577hp twin-turbo V8 and boxy profile making it unmistakable on Dubai's streets. Expect to pay AED 2,000–3,000 per day. The AMG GT 63 four-door coupe (630hp) sits in the same bracket and is the choice if you want performance with rear passengers.

The S-Class (496hp) starts around AED 1,400/day and is the default for business travel and airport transfers. Step up to the Maybach S-Class — with its extended wheelbase, reclining rear seats, and fridge compartment — and you're looking at AED 3,500–5,000/day depending on the variant. The EQS 580 (649hp) electric sedan is increasingly available at AED 1,800–2,500/day; charging infrastructure around Dubai Mall and key hotels is solid enough that range anxiety is a non-issue.

Rental Costs

• C-Class / E-Class: AED 400–700/day
• S-Class (W223): AED 1,200–1,800/day
• G 63 AMG: AED 2,000–3,000/day
• AMG GT 63 4-door: AED 2,200–3,200/day
• Maybach S-Class: AED 3,500–5,000/day
• EQS 580: AED 1,800–2,500/day

Most operators require a refundable security deposit of AED 3,000–10,000 depending on the model. Comprehensive insurance is almost always included; personal accident coverage is usually an add-on.

Where to Rent

The highest concentration of reputable fleets is in Al Quoz and along Sheikh Zayed Road between interchanges 3–6. Dubai Airport's arrivals hall has on-site desks for several operators. Abu Dhabi deliveries are common — most Dubai-based fleets will deliver to Yas Island or Corniche hotels for a flat fee of AED 200–400.

Minimum age is typically 25, though some operators will rent to 21-year-olds with a higher deposit. An international driving permit is strongly recommended alongside your home licence. Visit mercedes-benz.com to compare specifications before you book.

Driving Experience

The UAE's road network suits Mercedes-Benz well. Sheikh Zayed Road is a straight eight-lane freeway — the S-Class floats over it in near silence. The Hatta Mountain Road (E44) out towards the Hajar Mountains gives a G-Wagon its first real purpose: 4L mode, rock-strewn switchbacks, and a panorama you won't get from a sedan. The Abu Dhabi Corniche at night in a Maybach is a different kind of experience — slow, imperious, and deliberately theatrical.

One honest note: traffic between 7–9am and 5–8pm on Sheikh Zayed Road is genuinely bad. The G 63's fuel consumption (around 15L/100km in city traffic) adds up fast. The EQS sidesteps both problems.

FAQ

Do I need an international driving permit? Technically not for many nationalities, but it eliminates any friction with police checkpoints. Get one before you travel.

Is mileage unlimited? Most fleets offer unlimited mileage on day rates. Check the fine print — some cap at 250–300km/day on multi-week rentals.

Can I drive to Oman? Some operators allow cross-border travel to Muscat with prior written approval and an additional fee. Many do not — ask explicitly before booking.
