Expect a much larger deposit than a standard rental: typically AED 5,000–20,000 or more depending on the car's value, held on a credit card in the driver's name. Luxury bookings on our site are enquiry-based — we connect you with a vetted partner supplier who confirms the exact deposit, insurance and terms for your chosen car before you commit.
Why supercar deposits are so much higher
Three things drive the number: the vehicle's value, the insurance excess you would owe after damage, and fine exposure — speed cameras are unforgiving and penalties on high-performance cars add up fast. The deposit is the supplier's buffer for all three.
Typical bands by car tier
- Premium sedans and SUVs sit at the lower end of the range.
- Sports cars occupy the middle.
- Hypercars reach the AED 20,000 mark and beyond.
The exact figure is always stated in the terms the supplier confirms at booking — never a surprise at handover.
Hold or charge? Ask before you commit
Most suppliers place an authorisation hold on your credit card: the money stays yours but your available limit drops. Some charge the deposit and refund it after return, which takes longer to come back. Confirm which method applies — it changes how much card headroom you need. Deposit release timing has its own article in luxury & experiences help.
How the enquiry works
Send us your dates and the car you want. The partner supplier confirms availability, the deposit, insurance cover and full terms in writing — you only commit once you've seen everything.
