I’m coming with the family to Dubai in November, I notice a lot of companies advertise premium/luxury rental. I’m thinking along the lines of M4, Aston DBX, 911, E63, etc - something powerful and fun to drive with 4 seats (2 adults and 2 small kids).

Most of these small companies don’t have any reviews on trustpilot, or have reviews that describe horror stories (made up damages, deposits not refunded etc). Large chains (Sixt, Alamo etc) don’t have very fun cars.

I occassionally rent supercars in the UK and have almost never had problems - but I use companies whom I know and have used before.

Any recommendations in Dubai?

RPM and Beno are the 2 recommended from a search of my WhatsApp car groups.

For short rentals, I can vouch for JKND. Their premises are opposite mine, properly run fully insured operation.

Thanks. Is Beno legitimate? They seem to have every imaginable car on their website which usually means either (1) they are an aggregator and you will deal with another business for the actual rental, who may be scammy (2) they don’t have the cars and are a scam…

No idea, just passing it on. Looking at it, seems to be (3) they’re a marketplace, so to it contract is with them as the provider and will do the drop off & collection, but could be a 3rd party owns the actual vehicle. Certainly isn’t any way one company is doing cars yachts & aircraft!

RPM have a physical location and own their fleet, as do JKND but you’d have to enquire about rentals longer than a day and they don’t do anything with 4 seats.
