8 Seater Car Rental in Dubai

Drivaza lists 65 cars with 8 or more seats, from AED 197 to about AED 1,099/day. The mix is full-size SUVs — Nissan Patrol, GMC Yukon, Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, with Nissan the most-listed marque — alongside people-movers and passenger vans such as the Toyota Hiace, Hyundai Staria and Kia Carnival. Compare seats, boot space and live rates in the grid above.

It depends where the eighth seat sits. In a full-size SUV, using all eight seats leaves very little boot space, so a family of eight with suitcases usually needs a van-bodied people-mover instead — those keep a proper luggage area behind the last row. For seven passengers plus bags, an eight-seat SUV works well.

Nothing on Drivaza currently seats nine or more — the listed fleet tops out at eight. For a larger group, message a partner directly with your dates and group size: most can arrange a 12 or 14-seat minibus, usually with a driver, and will quote for it separately.

No. Eight-seat SUVs and people-movers are light vehicles, so a standard UAE licence — or an accepted foreign licence with an International Driving Permit — is enough. Only larger buses require a heavier licence class.

One eight-seater is almost always cheaper than two separate rentals once you add the second car’s rate, fuel, Salik and parking, and it keeps the group together for airport runs and day trips. Two cars only win when the group splits up regularly during the day.
