Best Ferrari to Rent in Dubai (2026): The Right Prancing Horse for Every Trip
The best Ferrari to rent in Dubai is the 488 or F8 Tributo for most drivers — the perfect blend of V8 drama, daily usability and price (~AED 3,100/day). Here's how to pick by trip and budget.
For most people, the best Ferrari to rent in Dubai is the 488 GTB or the F8 Tributo — a twin-turbo V8 supercar that nails the classic Ferrari experience (the looks, the noise, the speed) while staying usable enough for a real day of driving, at roughly AED 3,100/day. If you want comfort and want to drive every day, choose the Roma or Portofino (from ~AED 2,400/day). If the trip is built around one unforgettable arrival, go straight to the V12 812 Superfast (~AED 4,500/day), the SF90 hybrid flagship (~AED 5,000+/day), or the four-seat Purosangue (~AED 5,000-9,000/day). Match the car to the trip, not just the badge — and book ahead in peak season. Insurance is included, delivery is free anywhere in Dubai, and no-deposit options exist on selected cars.

Which Ferrari is best for you? (quick answer)
There is no single best Ferrari to rent in Dubai, because the range spans four very different cars: refined grand tourers, mid-engine V8 supercars, dramatic V12s, and the four-seat Purosangue. The honest default for the majority of renters is a mid-engine V8 — the 488 or F8 Tributo. It gives you the full prancing-horse experience: scissor-sharp steering, a soundtrack that turns heads at every valet, and genuine supercar pace, without the five-figure deposit drama or the rarity premium of a flagship. At around AED 3,100/day it is also the sweet spot on price.
Beyond that default, the right choice comes down to your trip. Driving most days and carrying a passenger in comfort? The front-engine Roma is the easiest Ferrari to live with. Want a convertible for the coast? The Portofino or 488 Spider drops the roof. Building the booking around one headline moment — a proposal, a shoot, a milestone birthday — and price is secondary? The V12 812, the SF90, or the Purosangue deliver maximum theatre. Decide the use-case first, then pick the model.
- Best overall / first Ferrari: 488 GTB or F8 Tributo — from ~AED 3,100/day
- Best for daily comfort: Ferrari Roma — from ~AED 2,400/day
- Best convertible / coastal cruise: Portofino or 488 Spider
- Best for one big occasion: 812 Superfast, SF90, or Purosangue
- Best for four real seats: Ferrari Purosangue — from ~AED 5,000/day
- Sharpest modern tech: 296 GTB (V6 hybrid) — ~AED 3,000-3,500/day
Ferrari 488 / F8 Tributo — the best Ferrari for most renters
If you only rent one Ferrari in Dubai, make it the 488 GTB or its successor the F8 Tributo. This is the car that delivers the experience people picture when they imagine a Ferrari: a 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 behind your shoulders, instant acceleration, and a low, wide stance that draws a crowd outside any Downtown hotel. Yet it remains civilised enough to drive across the city — the seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox is smooth in traffic, the cabin is comfortable, and visibility is far better than the older V12 monsters.
On Dubai roads this is the ideal balance. You feel the car come alive at perfectly legal speeds — which matters in a city blanketed by Dubai Police radar and average-speed cameras — and it is happy doing a Marina-to-Palm-to-Downtown loop or a sunset run down Sheikh Zayed Road off-peak. Daily rates land around AED 3,100, with the 488 Spider and F8 convertible usually a step up. For a first Ferrari, a weekend supercar, or a content shoot, nothing else in the range offers this much for the money.
- From ~AED 3,100/day; convertible (488/F8 Spider) usually a step up
- Twin-turbo V8, dual-clutch gearbox, supercar pace and sound
- Alive at legal speeds — ideal for camera-heavy Dubai roads
- Best balance of drama, usability, and price in the range
- Ideal for weekends, first-timers, and Burj Khalifa photo sets
Ferrari Roma & Portofino — the best for daily driving and comfort
If you plan to drive every day of your trip, carry a passenger in real comfort, or simply want the most relaxed Ferrari in Dubai traffic, rent the Roma. It is the grand tourer of the range — a front-engine V8 wrapped in clean, elegant bodywork that whispers money rather than shouts it. It is the easiest Ferrari to park at a mall, hand to a DIFC valet, or take to dinner, and it is the most affordable way into the badge, from around AED 2,400/day.
The Portofino is the open-top sibling: a retractable hardtop convertible that is made for the Palm Jumeirah Crescent and the JBR beachfront at golden hour. It carries the same effortless GT character with the roof down for photos and warm-evening cruising. Both cars are the smart pick when the goal is to enjoy Dubai over several days rather than chase one adrenaline hit — refined, comfortable, and unmistakably Ferrari at every gate.
- Roma: from ~AED 2,400/day — the entry point into the Ferrari fleet
- Portofino: retractable hardtop convertible, best for coastal cruising
- Front-engine V8 GTs: most comfortable, easiest to drive daily
- Best for multi-day trips, dining, and relaxed luxury
- Cheapest Ferraris to rent — strongest weekly/monthly value
812 Superfast, SF90 & Purosangue — the best for a statement
When the booking exists for one unforgettable moment, step up to a flagship. The 812 Superfast is the last of the great front-engine, naturally aspirated V12 Ferraris — a 6.5-litre, near-800hp super-coupe with a soundtrack no turbo car can match, from around AED 4,500/day. The SF90 Stradale is the technological apex: a plug-in hybrid producing roughly 1,000hp, the most powerful series-production Ferrari, from about AED 5,000+/day. Both are the cars that make a wedding exit or a milestone arrival genuinely cinematic.
The Purosangue is the wildcard — Ferrari's first four-door, four-seat car, with a naturally aspirated V12 and four genuine seats, so you can bring people along for the experience rather than leave them behind. It is one of the rarest cars you can rent in the city; expect from around AED 5,000/day, typically landing in the AED 6,500-9,000/day range given how few exist in Dubai. These flagships carry refundable security deposits and are best booked short — one or two days for the occasion, not a full week.
- 812 Superfast: from ~AED 4,500/day — naturally aspirated V12 theatre
- SF90: from ~AED 5,000+/day — ~1,000hp plug-in hybrid flagship
- Purosangue: from ~AED 5,000/day (typically AED 6,500-9,000) — four real seats
- Best for weddings, proposals, shoots, and headline arrivals
- Refundable deposit expected; book short for one big occasion
Ferrari rental prices in Dubai at a glance
Ferrari rates in Dubai scale with the model's engine, value and rarity — the grand tourers anchor the bottom, the mid-engine V8s sit in the middle, and the V12s and hybrid flagships top it out. The single biggest lever on cost is how long you book. As a rule across the fleet, a week works out to roughly 6.3× the daily rate (about 10% off seven days) and a month to about 26× (around 13% off thirty days). If you are in Dubai for more than four or five days, always ask for the weekly rate.
Two other numbers shape your real total: the daily mileage cap (typically around 250 km/day, with extra kilometres billed per-km) and the security deposit (a refundable hold on your card, higher on supercars). Insurance is included on every booking, delivery is free anywhere in Dubai, and no-deposit options are available on selected cars — usually the Roma and some V8s rather than the V12 flagships.
- Roma / Portofino: from ~AED 2,400-2,800/day, ~AED 15,000/week, ~AED 62,000/month
- 488 / F8 Tributo: ~AED 3,100/day (range ~AED 2,800-3,500), ~AED 19,000/week
- 296 GTB: ~AED 3,000-3,500/day — V6 hybrid, sharp and modern
- 812 Superfast: ~AED 4,500+/day; SF90: ~AED 5,000+/day
- Purosangue: from ~AED 5,000/day (typically AED 6,500-9,000), quoted individually
- All prices include insurance; Salik tolls billed at cost
How to choose and book the right Ferrari
Start with the trip, not the badge. If you want the definitive Ferrari experience without overspending, the 488 or F8 is the answer. If you are driving for several days and value comfort, take the Roma. If the roof has to come down, choose the Portofino or a Spider. If the whole booking is built around one moment, go straight to a V12 or the Purosangue and keep it short. Confirm your licence too: UAE residents need a local licence and Emirates ID, while tourists drive on a home-country licence plus an International Driving Permit, with drivers usually 25 or older.
Once you have picked, message us on WhatsApp at +971 54 551 4155 with your dates, your delivery area, and whether you want a no-deposit car. We confirm availability, lock in the all-in rate with the deposit, mileage and licence terms up front, and deliver free anywhere in Dubai — your hotel, your villa, or DXB arrivals — often with a valet handover. Ferraris are limited in number and peak season (November-March) fills fast, so booking ahead beats a last-minute walk-in nearly every time. Our concierge stays on WhatsApp 24/7 if your plans change mid-trip.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best Ferrari to rent in Dubai?
For most renters, the 488 GTB or F8 Tributo is the best Ferrari to rent in Dubai. The twin-turbo V8 delivers the full supercar experience — looks, sound and pace — while staying usable enough for a real day of driving, at around AED 3,100/day. Choose the Roma (from ~AED 2,400/day) if you want comfort for daily driving, or a V12/SF90/Purosangue if the trip is built around one big occasion.
What is the cheapest Ferrari to rent in Dubai?
The front-engine grand tourers — the Roma and the Portofino convertible — are the most affordable Ferraris, from around AED 2,400/day. They are also the easiest to live with in Dubai traffic while still turning heads at any hotel valet. Weekly and monthly bookings lower the effective daily rate further (roughly 10% off a week, 13% off a month).
Which Ferrari is best for a weekend in Dubai?
The 488 or F8 Tributo is the best weekend Ferrari. It gives you the classic mid-engine V8 thrill and maximum street presence, is easier to drive than the V12 flagships, and rents around AED 3,100/day — often with no-deposit options on selected cars. Collect it on Friday, run the coast and Sheikh Zayed Road off-peak, and hand it back without committing to a full week.
Which Ferrari has four seats for families?
The Ferrari Purosangue is the only Ferrari with four real seats and four doors — a naturally aspirated V12 that lets you bring passengers along. It rents from around AED 5,000/day, typically landing in the AED 6,500-9,000/day range because it is very rare in Dubai. Message WhatsApp +971 54 551 4155 for a live quote, as availability and multi-day pricing are tailored.
Can tourists rent a Ferrari in Dubai?
Yes. Visitors need a valid home-country driving licence plus an International Driving Permit (IDP), a passport, and a credit card in the renter's name for the deposit hold. Drivers are usually 25 or older with several years of experience. UAE residents rent with a UAE licence and Emirates ID. We confirm exactly what your nationality and licence require before delivery.
Do you need a deposit to rent a Ferrari in Dubai?
Usually yes — a refundable hold on your card (not a charge), which is higher on supercars because of the vehicle value. We also offer no-deposit options on selected cars, most often the Roma and some V8s rather than the V12 flagships. Insurance is included on every booking. Message WhatsApp +971 54 551 4155 to confirm which Ferraris are no-deposit for your dates.
Are Salik tolls and insurance included in the Ferrari rental price?
Insurance is included on every Ferrari rental, with an excess you are liable for in an at-fault incident. Salik road tolls are billed at cost with no markup — the RTA charges AED 4 per gate in standard hours and AED 6 at peak times, and we simply pass the crossings through. Mileage is typically capped at around 250 km/day; flag any long road trip in advance so we can adjust the package.
Is it cheaper to rent a Ferrari by the week or month?
Much cheaper per day. A week costs roughly 6.3× the daily rate (about 10% off) and a month roughly 26× (about 13% off) rather than a straight 7× or 30×. A Ferrari Roma works out to about AED 15,000/week and AED 62,000/month; a 488 or F8 is about AED 19,000/week. The rarer V12s and the Purosangue are quoted individually given limited supply.
