Hire a Luxury Car with a Driver in Dubai
Pick the car first, and the chauffeur comes with it. Fuel, tolls and VAT sit inside the price, so the comparison with self-drive rental is simpler than it looks.
Car with driver in Dubai means you choose the vehicle and we supply the chauffeur, at one price. Choose from the BMW i7, BMW 5 Series, Lexus ES 300h, BYD Han or Mercedes V-Class, from AED 150 per hour. Fuel or charging, Salik tolls, 5% VAT and bottled water are included, there is no kilometre limit, and you never drive, park or refuel. Sedans carry up to three passengers, and the V-Class carries six.
If you were comparing this with self-drive rental, the useful question is not the headline daily rate. It is what you would still pay for and do yourself: fuel, tolls, parking, the drive back after dinner. The table below sets the two side by side. When you are ready to choose a car, the fleet page shows each model, and the pricing page shows what each costs by the hour, the day and the airport run.
Who books this
Visitors replacing a rental
You would hire a car for the week, but would rather not navigate, park or learn the roads while jet-lagged.
Guests who want a specific car
A quiet electric sedan, a senior executive saloon or a six-seat people carrier: choose by model, not by class.
Anyone arriving at an event
Weddings, dinners and galas where you want to arrive from a car door, not from a car park.
Small groups
Up to six passengers in the Mercedes V-Class, with one driver and one booking.
Is a car with a driver better than a self-drive rental in Dubai?
It depends on how much of the driving you want to do. A rental is cheapest when you drive a lot, know the roads and do not mind parking. A car with a driver is better when you will be in the back for most of the trip, when you want to arrive composed, or when evenings are involved. Always read the rental terms for deposit, licence and daily distance rules, as they vary.
| Factor | Self-drive rental | Car with driver |
|---|---|---|
| Who drives | You | Your chauffeur |
| Driving licence | A valid licence accepted in the UAE | Not needed, as you are not driving |
| Fuel and tolls | Often billed separately, so check | Fuel or charging and Salik tolls included |
| Distance | Some agreements cap daily kilometres | No kilometre limit |
| Parking | You find a space and pay for it | You do not look for a space. Parking fees, if any, are paid by you |
| After dinner | You drive, or you do not drink | You do not drive |
| VAT | Check whether the quoted price includes it | 5% VAT included |
Which car should you hire with a driver?
All five cars can be booked hourly, for a full day or for an airport transfer. The difference is size, character and who is riding.
| Car | Seats | Suited to |
|---|---|---|
| BMW i7 | Up to 3 | Senior guests and occasions where the car is part of the impression |
| BMW 5 Series | Up to 3 | Business days and everyday executive travel |
| Lexus ES 300h | Up to 3 | A hybrid sedan for a traveller or a couple on a long day |
| BYD Han | Up to 3 | An electric sedan for city days |
| Mercedes V-Class | Up to 6 | Families and groups who want to stay in one car |
Each model has its own page: BMW i7, BMW 5 Series, Lexus ES 300h, BYD Han and Mercedes V-Class. As a guide to scale, an hour in the BMW 5 Series is AED 200, and in the BMW i7 it is AED 250. For the full list and the day and airport prices, see pricing.

Limousine, executive car or car hire with a driver: is it the same service?
The words overlap in search, and the product behind them differs. Ours is a chauffeur-driven executive saloon or people carrier. We do not describe the cars as stretch limousines. If what you want is a driven car for business, an occasion or a day out, the wording matters less than the booking terms: who drives, what is included, and what happens if plans change.
Which booking type suits a car with a driver?
- For a few hours, use hourly chauffeur, with a two-hour minimum.
- For a whole day, use full-day chauffeur: 10 hours at 15% off the hourly rate.
- For a journey to or from the airport, see DXB airport transfer.
- For a person-first explanation of how the service works, see private driver in Dubai.
