Most supercars make you choose between the thrill and a comfortable day out. The McLaren 720S barely asks you to. It's brutally quick from a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, yet the ride stays supple and the visibility is unusually good for the class, so a full day behind the wheel doesn't leave you wrung out. You can rent a McLaren 720S in Dubai from us with insurance and the Salik tag already on the car, delivered to your hotel or villa. This page is for the person planning one standout day and deciding whether the 720S is the right call, or whether the newer 750S earns the difference.
What makes the 720S the easy supercar to live with
The number people quote is the 0 to 100 km/h time of around 2.9 seconds, and it's real, but it undersells the car. What sets the 720S apart is how light and clear it feels once you're moving. The carbon tub is slim, the pillars are thin, and that glass-heavy cabin gives you a view out that most rivals can't match. You see kerbs, you see ramp edges, you place the car. Around DIFC valet lines and Marina parking that matters more than another tenth off the sprint.
The ride is the other surprise. McLaren's hydraulic suspension keeps it genuinely compliant on Dubai's expansion joints and patched tarmac, so it doesn't crash and fidget the way a track-stiff rival does. Left in its softer modes it'll cruise Sheikh Zayed Road all afternoon without punishing you. Push it and the twin-turbo V8 turns savage in a heartbeat. That split personality is the whole reason to book it for a day rather than ten minutes.
720S or the newer 750S
This is the comparison worth thinking about before you reserve. The 750S is the successor, and it's the sharper car: a touch more power, lighter still, quicker steering, and a more aggressive edge throughout. If it's on the fleet for your dates and you want the latest and keenest version, it's the better drive on paper.
Our honest take is that the 720S is the smarter booking for most people. It's now the outgoing model, which usually makes it the more available and sensible way into the same core experience, and the gap between the two is smaller than the badge suggests. The 720S already does the savage-yet-civil trick that made McLaren's name. Unless you're chasing the absolute newest car or you'll spend time at a track exploring the limits, the 720S gives you nearly all of it. Pick the 750S if you want the sharpest version and it's free; pick the 720S as the modern-classic that's easier to get.
Living with it for a day
Be clear about the practical side, because there isn't much of one. There are two seats and a small front boot of roughly 150 litres, enough for a couple of soft holdalls and not a hard suitcase. There's a shelf behind the seats for a jacket or a camera bag, and that's the lot. If you're collecting at DXB with full luggage, send the cases ahead or store them, because they won't ride with you.
Clearance is low, as it is with any car like this. Steep ramps in older mall car parks and sharp speed bumps need patience and an angle, and the nose-lift raises the front for the worst of them. The dihedral doors swing up and out, which looks dramatic and, more usefully, makes getting in and out in a tight bay easier than you'd expect. In June and July the cabin heats fast while it's parked in the open, though the air conditioning pulls it back quickly once you're rolling and that big glasshouse cools faster than a closed-in cockpit.
Where the performance actually belongs
A 720S will out-accelerate almost anything you'll meet, and the limits sit far beyond any legal speed on a public road here. So you enjoy it through throttle response, the V8's hard mid-range shove, and the way it makes a run to dinner feel like an event. Sheikh Zayed Road and the coastal stretch along the Palm and Jumeirah are the natural places to cruise it. Speed cameras are dense and the fines are steep, and any penalty during the rental follows the car back to you.
If you genuinely want to stretch its legs, Dubai Autodrome is where a car this fast makes legal sense. On the road, treat it as a sound-and-presence car, not a top-speed one.
Coupe or Spider, and how we hand it over
Both body styles give you the same engine and pace, so the choice is about sound and roof. The Spider's retractable hard top drops at low speed and opens up the V8 and the cooler-season evenings, which is the case for it from October to April. The coupe stays a touch cooler and quieter in deep summer. We deliver either to your hotel, villa, or the airport, walk you through the modes, the launch process, and the front-lift switch before we leave, and the Salik tag is fitted and insurance is included from the first gate. When you're done, we collect it from wherever you are.
FAQ — Common Questions Answered.
Is the 720S worth booking now that the 750S exists?
For most renters, yes. The 750S is the newer and sharper car, but the 720S delivers the same twin-turbo V8 character that defines the model, and as the outgoing version it's usually easier to get on your dates. The difference between them is real but smaller than the model names imply, and you'd mainly feel it pushing hard on a track rather than cruising Dubai. Book the 750S if you want the very latest car and it's free; the 720S is the value-minded modern-classic pick.
Who can drive a McLaren 720S in Dubai, and is there an age limit?
You'll need to be at least 25 for a car in this class, and most of our supercar renters are older. UAE residents drive on a valid UAE licence, while visitors need their home-country licence plus an International Driving Permit, or a national licence the UAE accepts directly for tourists. Bring the physical card, your passport, and a credit card in the driver's name at handover. We confirm the exact documents for your nationality when you book, so nothing trips you up on the day.
How much luggage fits, and will it clear Dubai's speed bumps?
Pack light, because the 720S has only a front boot of around 150 litres, enough for a couple of soft bags rather than hard suitcases, and there's no rear seat or back boot. It's strictly a two-person car for short trips. The clearance is low, so you'll slow right down for speed bumps and take steep ramps at an angle, and you should use the front nose-lift on sharp driveway lips and underground mall entrances. If you're arriving at the airport with full cases, arrange to store or forward them first.
Does the 720S cope with Dubai's summer heat?
Better than you might fear, but plan around it. After it's been parked in the open in July, the cabin will be hot for the first few minutes, so give the air conditioning a moment to catch up before you set off. The large glass area means it cools quickly once you're moving, and the V8 and gearbox handle the temperatures without complaint on a normal drive. We'd still suggest collecting it from shaded or covered parking in peak summer where you can.
Where can I actually enjoy a 720S in Dubai?
The honest answer is that its real limits are far past any legal road speed here, so you enjoy it through the engine note, the throttle response, and the presence rather than top-end runs. Sheikh Zayed Road and the coastal cruise along the Palm and Jumeirah suit it, and an evening drive is when it shines. If you want to use the full performance legally, a track day at Dubai Autodrome is the place. Any Salik tolls run on the tag fitted to the car, and we'll explain how fines are handled at handover.
