Lamborghini Urus vs Mercedes-AMG G63: Which Super-SUV to Rent in Dubai
Lamborghini Urus or Mercedes-AMG G63 in Dubai? We compare daily rates in AED, drama, comfort and who each super-SUV actually suits before you book.
Two super-SUVs, two completely different personalities, one decision to make before the weekend. The Lamborghini Urus and the Mercedes-AMG G63 are the cars everyone wants to be seen in along Jumeirah Beach Road and parked outside the Dubai Mall valet, yet they barely agree on anything. The Urus is a 641bhp Italian missile dressed as a family car. The G63 is a 4x4 brick that decided it wanted to be a hot rod. Both turn heads. Both cost real money to rent. So which one earns its place on your booking? Here is the straight verdict, then the detail to back it up.
The verdict in one line
If you want to feel like you are driving a supercar that happens to have four doors, rent the Lamborghini Urus. If you want presence, swagger and a cabin that makes Sheikh Zayed Road traffic feel like a lounge, rent the Mercedes-AMG G63. The Urus is the better driver's car. The G63 is the better statement.
Most of our customers split along one clean line. People who want to attack the open stretch out to Hatta or up Jebel Jais pick the Urus. People who want to roll slowly past the Burj Khalifa fountains and be noticed pick the G63. Neither choice is wrong. They are just answers to different questions.
Both come with insurance included and free delivery anywhere in Dubai, so the decision is purely about how you want to feel behind the wheel.
- Choose the Urus for: driving thrill, cornering, long highway runs, a slightly lower daily rate
- Choose the G63 for: street presence, cabin comfort, that unmistakable boxy silhouette, arriving anywhere as the main event
- Both seat five, both swallow weekend luggage, both make the same first impression at any valet in the city
Price per day: what each actually costs
On a straight daily rate the Urus tends to land a little cheaper than the G63 in Dubai, which surprises people who assume the Lamborghini badge always commands more. The G63's price holds firm because demand for it never drops, and the supply on the road is genuinely limited.
As a working guide, expect the Lamborghini Urus from around AED 3,000 to AED 3,500 per day, with the rate falling on three-day and weekly bookings. The Mercedes-AMG G63 usually sits from around AED 3,300 to AED 4,000 per day depending on model year and colour, with matte and Brabus-style specs at the top end.
Two costs catch first-time renters out, and neither applies here. Salik road tolls and any Dubai Police fines during your hire are passed on at cost, but the insurance is already included in your rate, so there is no separate daily insurance line to negotiate. Always confirm the security deposit and mileage allowance when you book, because long desert runs can eat into a daily kilometre cap fast.
- Lamborghini Urus: from approx AED 3,000 to AED 3,500 per day, lower on multi-day deals
- Mercedes-AMG G63: from approx AED 3,300 to AED 4,000 per day, premium for matte and special specs
- Insurance included on both; Salik tolls and any traffic fines billed at cost
- Weekly bookings cut the effective daily rate significantly on either car
- Confirm deposit and daily mileage limit before you collect, especially for trips to Hatta or Abu Dhabi
Drama and the way they drive
This is where the two cars stop pretending to be rivals and become opposites. The Urus runs a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 making 641bhp, and it hides its two-and-a-half tonnes better than physics should allow. Point it down the long sweep of Al Khail Road and it gathers speed like something half its size. The steering is quick, the body stays flat, and in Corsa mode the exhaust barks on every upshift. It is the closest thing to a Huracan you can fit a family into.
The G63 takes the same basic 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, tuned to around 577bhp, and bolts it to a chassis that was designed to climb mountains. The result is gloriously silly. It accelerates hard, leans in corners, rides on tall tyres, and sounds like a thunderstorm thanks to its side-exit exhausts. You do not corner a G63 so much as negotiate with it. That is exactly the point. Nobody buys a sense of occasion this loud and expects it to behave like a sports saloon.
On Dubai's smooth, wide highways both feel fast. On a twisty road the Urus is in a different league. In stop-start traffic on Sheikh Zayed Road, the G63's upright seating and commanding view make it the easier place to sit.
- Lamborghini Urus: 4.0L twin-turbo V8, 641bhp, 0 to 100km/h in around 3.6 seconds
- Mercedes-AMG G63: 4.0L twin-turbo V8, around 577bhp, 0 to 100km/h in around 4.5 seconds
- Urus: flat, sharp, genuinely quick through corners; the driver's choice
- G63: tall, loud, leans in bends, but the soundtrack and theatre are unmatched
- Both feel rapid on the highway; only the Urus rewards a winding road
Comfort, cabin and everyday usability
Inside, the Urus feels like a Lamborghini first and an SUV second. Low, hexagonal everything, jet-fighter toggle switches, and a driving position that sits you down in the car rather than on top of it. It is comfortable, but it is designed to feel sporting. The boot is a usable size and the rear seats take two adults in comfort, three at a push for a short hop to a restaurant in DIFC.
The G63 is the more relaxing space to spend an hour in. You sit high, the seats are broad and supportive, the materials are pure Mercedes luxury, and the visibility over that flat bonnet is excellent in city traffic. The squared-off body that makes it lean in corners also makes it brilliantly easy to place when parking in a tight Marina basement.
For a couple touring the city, both are easy. For families and luggage, the G63's boxy shape gives a slight edge on headroom and loading. For sheer special-occasion feel from the driver's seat, the Urus wins.
- Urus: low, sporty driving position, supercar-style cabin, usable boot
- G63: high command seating, broad comfortable seats, easiest visibility in city traffic
- Both seat five and handle a weekend's worth of bags
- G63 has the edge for headroom and loading; Urus has the edge for cockpit theatre
- Both are simple to live with daily, including airport runs to DXB or DWC
Who each car actually suits
Think about the trip, not the badge. The Urus suits the driver who wants to enjoy the act of driving, who is planning a run out to Jebel Jais or a fast loop down to Abu Dhabi, and who quietly wants the car that the people who know cars respect most. It also suits anyone who likes the idea of a supercar but needs the practicality of an SUV for a few days in Dubai.
The G63 suits the person for whom arriving matters as much as driving. Content creators love it because it photographs like nothing else against a Downtown skyline. Groups heading out for the evening love it because everyone can sit upright and comfortable. If your weekend is about being seen at the right places, from a Palm Jumeirah villa to a Pierchic dinner, the G63 is the obvious pick.
There is no wrong answer here, only the honest question of what you want from the three or four days the car is yours.
- Rent the Urus if: you love driving, plan highway or mountain runs, want the connoisseur's choice
- Rent the G63 if: presence and photos matter most, comfort for passengers is key, the night out is the point
- Solo enthusiast or couple touring fast roads: Urus
- Content creators, groups, statement arrivals: G63
- Either works brilliantly as a several-day flex around Dubai with free delivery to your hotel or villa
Booking either one in Dubai
Both cars sit in our 46-strong fleet, and both come the same way: insurance included, no hidden daily insurance charge, and free delivery anywhere in Dubai, whether that is a hotel on the Palm, an apartment in the Marina or the kerb at DXB arrivals. You will need a valid driving licence, your passport or Emirates ID, and to meet the minimum age for these high-performance cars, which is higher than for a standard hire.
If you are still torn, the cheapest way to decide is to rent the Urus for a couple of days and the G63 for a couple more across a single trip. Plenty of our customers do exactly that and stop guessing. Tell us your dates and where you are staying and we will have either car at your door, fuelled and ready.
The fast answer is usually a quick message rather than a long form.

- Insurance included on every booking, free delivery across all of Dubai
- Bring a valid licence plus passport or Emirates ID; high-performance age minimum applies

Frequently asked questions
Is the Lamborghini Urus or the Mercedes-AMG G63 cheaper to rent in Dubai?
The Urus is usually slightly cheaper, from around AED 3,000 to AED 3,500 per day, while the G63 typically starts from around AED 3,300 to AED 4,000 because demand for it stays consistently high. Both rates drop on multi-day and weekly bookings, and insurance is included in either price.
Which super-SUV is faster, the Urus or the G63?
The Lamborghini Urus is clearly faster, reaching 100km/h in around 3.6 seconds from its 641bhp V8, against roughly 4.5 seconds for the 577bhp G63. The Urus is also far sharper through corners. The G63 feels rapid in a straight line but is built for presence rather than outright pace.
Do I need a special licence to rent these cars in Dubai?
You need a valid driving licence, either UAE-issued or an accepted international permit, plus your passport or Emirates ID. Both cars are high-performance, so a higher minimum age and a larger security deposit apply than for a standard rental. Message us with your details and we will confirm exactly what you need.

Yes. Insurance is included in the daily rate on both cars, so there is no separate insurance line to negotiate at collection. Salik road tolls and any traffic fines during your hire are billed back at cost. Always confirm the deposit and daily mileage allowance when you book.
