Weekly Car Rental Deals: How the First-Day-AED-20 Offer Works

When you rent any eligible car for 7 days or more, the first day is charged at AED 20 instead of the normal daily rate. For example:

• Kia Picanto: 1 day at AED 20 + 6 days at AED 40 = AED 260 for the week (instead of AED 280)
• Kia Sportage: 1 day at AED 20 + 6 days at AED 150 = AED 920 for the week (instead of AED 1,050)

There’s no code to enter. Just book for 7 days on WhatsApp and the offer is applied automatically.

Weekly vs Daily vs Monthly: Which Is Cheapest?

If you need a car for 2 or 3 weeks, book week by week and extend on WhatsApp before each week ends. Once you pass about 3 weeks, switching to a monthly contract usually costs less. See the full monthly vs daily car rental comparison.

Who Rents a Car for a Week in Dubai?

• Tourists on a 5–10 day holiday who want to visit Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the east coast without paying for taxis every day

Do Weekly Prices Change by Season?

Yes. Demand in Dubai is highest from November to March, during the cool season and school holidays, and economy cars book up fastest then. Summer (June to September) is usually quieter and easier to book. Our listed weekly prices are what you pay at the time of booking. Message us early for December and New Year weeks.

Deposit for a Weekly Car Rental

A refundable AED 1,000 deposit is held on your credit or debit card and returned within 21 working days after the rental. The waiting period gives time for any traffic fines or Salik charges to appear in the system. Some customers qualify for no-deposit options [confirm conditions].
