Kia Car Rental Dubai

A Kia car rental in Dubai costs AED 98 to AED 230 a day across the ten bookable Kia rental cars. The biggest discount on a Kia car rental comes from a longer rental period: weekly and monthly plans lower the per-day rental fee, and the monthly plan gives the lowest price per day. The table below shows each version's body type, seats and rental fee by rental period, so you can compare Kia rental cars for a rental in Dubai at a glance.

The Kia Picanto is the cheapest Kia car hire in Dubai at AED 98 a day for the 1.2L hatchback. Booking the Kia Picanto on its weekly plan lowers the daily cost further for renters who keep it for a full week. The Kia Pegas sedan, a 2026 model with a 1.4L engine, is the next cheapest Kia car hire at AED 130 a day for renters who want a separate boot. The Kia Pegas also has the second-lowest monthly price in the fleet.

The Kia Sportage costs from AED 175 a day to rent in Dubai, in three bookable versions. The Kia Sportage SRF, a 2022 model, costs AED 175 a day, and the standard Kia Sportage with a 1.6L engine costs AED 180. The Kia Sportage 2L, a 2025 model with a 2.0L Turbo engine, costs AED 190 a day. For the biggest discount, the Kia Sportage SRF has the lowest weekly price of the three, and the standard Kia Sportage has the lowest monthly price.

A monthly Kia rental in Dubai costs from AED 1,349 for the Picanto to AED 3,500 for the Carnival. Monthly plans come with one of two kilometre allowances, set out under the mileage limit below. The biggest discount on a Kia rental comes with a rental period of a month or more, as the monthly rates in the table give the best price per day on every Kia. Other cars on monthly terms are compared on the monthly car rental in Dubai page.

UAEdriving lists ten bookable Kia car models in Dubai across hatchback, sedan and SUV body types. The available Kia models are the Picanto hatchback, the Kia Pegas and Kia K3 sedans, and the Sonet Special, Seltos, Seltos Special, Sportage SRF, Sportage, Sportage 2L and Carnival SUVs. Engines run from the Picanto's 1.2L to the Carnival's 3.5L, and the K3 carries a 2.0L engine.

The Kia K3 replaced the Kia Cerato, so renters looking for a Kia Cerato book the K3 instead. The standard Kia Sonet and the Kia K5 are not bookable at the moment, while the 2025 Kia Sonet Special is available as a Kia for rent in Dubai. The fleet has no electric Kia, so renters who want to rent an electric car in Dubai choose another brand, and Kia vehicles or car models outside these ten versions are not offered among the Kia rental cars.

The Kia Seltos, Kia Sportage and Kia Sonet Special are 5-seat SUVs that suit a family of up to five. Larger families can book the Kia Carnival, the biggest of the Kia vehicles in Dubai. Families who mainly do city driving can also book the Kia Pegas sedan or the Kia Picanto hatchback, both with 5 seats. More family-size options are on the SUV rental in Dubai page.

The Kia Seltos is cheaper to rent than the Kia Sportage, starting at AED 160 a day against AED 175. The standard Kia Seltos and the standard Kia Sportage both use a 1.6L engine. The Kia Sportage offers more choice, with three versions including the Turbo, while the Kia Seltos comes as the Seltos and the Seltos Special. On monthly plans, the cheapest Kia Seltos costs less than every Kia Sportage version.

To rent a car from the Kia range in Dubai, you need documents for your residency status, a credit card and a 2-day minimum booking. The credit card covers the security deposit, and renters who rent a car from UAEdriving pay by credit card only, as cash is not accepted. The rental process rests on these three requirements, which the sections below set out once each.

UAE residents need three documents to rent a car such as a Kia in Dubai, which are listed below.

• Passport copy: a copy of the renter's passport.

• Emirates ID copy: a copy of the renter's Emirates ID card.

The security deposit on a Kia rental in Dubai is AED 1,000, paid by credit card. UAEdriving refunds it 30 days after the car is returned and uses it to settle traffic fines and Salik. Rental without a deposit is not offered.

Every Kia car rental in Dubai includes basic insurance and a kilometre allowance set by the plan.

These inclusions apply to each Kia car in Dubai on the site, and the sections below give the exact limits, excess and charges for a car rental in Dubai.

• VAT: 5% VAT is added to every listed rental fee.
• Traffic fines: any fines incurred during the rental are charged to the renter.
• Extra kilometres: distance driven beyond the plan's allowance is charged.
• Delivery: a delivery fee applies on rentals under 30 days.
• Salik tolls: from 1 June 2026 Salik adds 5% VAT, so a peak crossing (6am to 10am and 4pm to 8pm, Monday to Saturday) costs AED 6.30, an off-peak or Sunday crossing costs AED 4.20, and crossings from 1am to 6am stay free.

UAEdriving settles Salik and traffic fines from the security deposit before the refund.
