7 Seater Car Rental in Dubai

The most common mistake with seven-seaters is counting seats and forgetting bags. In a compact MPV such as the Xpander, the third row sits where the boot would be. Seven people fit, but there is little room left behind them. It works well for seven people on a day out, or for five people with a holiday load of luggage.

A full-size SUV solves this. The Chevrolet Suburban is long enough to carry eight people and still hold several suitcases behind the last row. The Cadillac Escalade seats seven with a more luxurious cabin. If you are a group of seven arriving with one case each, a full-size SUV is the realistic choice.

Two economy cars can cost less per day than one full-size SUV, but you need two drivers, two parking spaces and two sets of tolls, and the group is split. One Xpander at AED 130 per day is cheaper than two economy cars and keeps everyone together, which is why it is the usual answer for families of five to seven.

The Mitsubishi Outlander sits between the two. Day to day it is a five-seat SUV, with a third row that folds out of the boot floor for two more passengers, best for children. The GMC Yukon seats seven or eight depending on whether the second row has two individual seats or a bench, so tell us which you need.
