Luxury & Supercars
The short answer
Choose self-drive if you want the experience of driving the car, plan day trips or enjoy the roads. Choose a chauffeur for business days, airport transfers, weddings and events, or when you want to relax, drink at dinner or avoid parking. Many visitors combine both.
When self-drive is the better choice
If the car is the experience, drive it yourself: a supercar on Jebel Jais, a convertible along the coast or a weekend in Hatta. Self-drive also gives you complete freedom over your schedule. See self-drive luxury car rental.
When a chauffeur makes more sense
A chauffeur is best when your day is full of meetings, when you arrive after a long flight, or when the occasion matters more than the drive, such as a wedding or a gala. You also avoid parking, valet queues and navigation. See luxury car rental with driver.
Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Maybach and the Cadillac Escalade are the most requested cars with a driver, because the comfort is in the rear seat.
Combining both on one trip
Many guests book a chauffeur for the airport arrival and a wedding or business day, and a self-drive sports car for the weekend. Tell the concierge your plan and we will quote both together.
