The UAE is an incredible place for road trips and adventures. With vast open spaces, mountain ranges, and stunning landscapes, there’s a breathtaking view guaranteed around every corner. So how can you enjoy all this? It’s simple – renting an SUV in the UAE opens up a world of possibilities. At Hertz UAE, we have a wide selection of both full-size and compact SUVs to choose from, giving you the freedom to explore the open road at your leisure.

The legal stuff first…

At this juncture, we do need to be very clear that, while we understand that you might have to go across the occasional dusty track to get to a campsite or the beach, under Hertz UAE’s terms and conditions, you cannot use any of our vehicles for off-road driving, even if you’re in a fully capable 4×4. So please remember this when you’re renting a car in the UAE, as you may find that this applies to all car rental agencies and agreements.

But what your rental SUV or 4×4 can do is get you to the wide-open spaces in complete comfort, with loads of luggage space for everything from a set of skis or snowboards if you’re heading to the winter mountains, the kids’ mountain bikes, or a family set of bodyboards for a weekend at the beach. SUV car rental also means you have the power to do longer trips so you can explore a little further afield. We’ve also got seven-seater SUVs so the whole family can go on an adventure together.

Here are a few of the top SUV rentals on offer and why we at Hertz think they’re the best for getting out and exploring the UAE.

The Toyota Land Cruiser

This is a serious bit of 4×4 kit. One of the greatest SUVs of all time, it has a heritage stretching back to the 1950s and is the ultimate adventure vehicle. With space for seven passengers and all the features you could wish for, the Land Cruiser will get you anywhere you want to go, and do it in style.

The Toyota Fortuner

Another 7-seater SUV, the Toyota Fortuner is a big SUV that’s nimble and fast on the tarmac, yet capable of tackling any kind of terrain with ease. It’s packed with technology and is an ideal choice if you want to take the whole family on a long road trip in complete comfort.

The Toyota Prado

This full-size SUV offers seven seats, acres of luggage space, and a luxury cabin that will make any road trip an absolute pleasure. With modern features such as cruise control and a full safety package, this big SUV eats up the miles on the road and gets you to your destination in style.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee

This mighty 4×4 is one of the most iconic SUVs on the roads today. Another heritage brand that can trace its roots back to the 1940s, the Jeep has a go-anywhere-do-anything attitude and is an incredibly capable off-roader. With space for five passengers and a large cargo area, it’s ideal for weekend adventures or longer trips.

The Toyota RAV4

This offering from Toyota is more of a compact option, so it’s great for daily driving and the morning school run but easily converts to a weekend adventure vehicle and a family-friendly 4×4.

The Toyota Highlander Hybrid

If you love exploring but want to keep your carbon footprint (and your running costs) down, a hybrid option like the Toyota Highlander is a great choice. Around town, you can go over to full EV mode, which means no emissions and quiet, easy driving. Once you get on the highway you can switch over to petrol and have the range you need to get to that mountain retreat.
