675 economy car rentals available from AED 30/day — daily, weekly and monthly terms, with no-deposit options and delivery from verified Drivaza partners across Dubai and the UAE.
Economy car rental in Dubai is the practical default: a small hatchback or compact sedan under AED 200 a day, cheap to fuel, easy to park in mall garages and perfectly capable on Sheikh Zayed Road. The usual cars are the Nissan Sunny, Kia Pegas, Hyundai Accent, Toyota Yaris and MG 5 — five seats, a boot big enough for two suitcases, and a running cost that leaves the budget for everything else.
The real saving is in the rental term, not the model. A car that costs AED 120 a day drops sharply on a weekly rate and again on a monthly one, so if you are here for more than about ten days, book monthly even if you return the car early — it is often cheaper than paying daily. Watch three lines in the contract: the mileage cap (usually 250 km/day), the security deposit, and whether Salik tolls are billed at cost or with a handling fee.
Small hatchbacks and compact sedans — Kia Pegas, Nissan Sunny, Hyundai Accent, Toyota Yaris and similar — are consistently the cheapest. The lowest live rate on this page is shown in the heading above, and the monthly equivalent is lower again per day. See our under AED 100 and under AED 200 hubs for the current cheapest listings.
Yes. Many partners waive the security deposit on economy cars when you take full CDW cover, replacing the frozen hold on your card with a small daily waiver fee. The no-deposit hub lists every car on Drivaza currently offered on those terms.
For stays under a year it usually is, because the monthly rate covers registration, insurance, servicing and tyres, and there is no resale risk at the end. A one-month economy rental in Dubai typically costs less than the combined insurance, Salik, servicing and depreciation on an owned car of the same class.
Hi, I'm interested in this car. Is it still available?
