Rent McLaren 720S 2022 in Dubai

Some cars you rent to get around. This one you rent for a single morning you'll talk about for years. We deliver the McLaren 720S 2022 across Dubai to your door, and we take the payment on the spot however suits you, by card, cash, or wallet like Apple Pay and Google Pay, so there's no awkward transfer to sort before you drive. What follows is honest about what this is: a mid-engine, two-seat supercar built around the drive and the occasion, not a car you load up for a week of errands. If you want one unforgettable run down Sheikh Zayed Road and the dihedral doors swinging up outside your hotel, the 720S earns its keep. For anything practical, it won't.

What you're actually renting

The heart of it is a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 making 710 hp, sent to the rear wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. That's enough for the headline figures most people care about: roughly 2.9 seconds to 100 km/h and a top speed of about 341 km/h, far past anything you'll legally use here. What matters more on a real drive is how the power arrives. The 720S pulls hard and clean from low revs and keeps pulling, so an overtake on the E11 happens almost before you've decided to make it. That immediacy is the whole point of renting one.

It's rear-wheel drive with no all-wheel safety net, so the traction systems are doing real work in your favour. Treat the throttle with respect on a cold tyre or a dusty patch and it rewards you. Get greedy and it'll remind you what 710 hp means.

Specs at a glance

The low nose, ramps and speed bumps

This is the practical fact that decides more 720S rentals than horsepower. The car sits 107 mm off the ground and the nose is long and very low. Speed bumps, the steep ramps into a Marina tower or a mall car park, even a sharp driveway lip can catch the front splitter if you take them flat-on. The 720S has a nose lift that raises the front a few centimetres at the touch of a button, and you use it constantly in Dubai. Approach bumps slowly and at an angle, lift the nose for ramps, and you'll be fine. Forget once and you're looking at an expensive scrape. We'll walk you through the lift on handover, but the discipline is yours.

Parking is its own task. The 720S is wide at 2161 mm including mirrors, so tight multi-storey bays and valet stands take care. The upside is the visibility out of that glasshouse cabin is genuinely good for a supercar, better than most rivals, which helps when you're threading it into a bay or out of a U-turn.

Getting in, getting out, and luggage

The doors are the show. They hinge up and forward, and outside a hotel or restaurant they draw a crowd every time. They also need clearance above and to the side, so park with room to swing them. Climbing in means dropping down over a wide sill into a low seat, and climbing out is the reverse. It's manageable, just not graceful, and worth knowing if mobility is a concern for you or a passenger.

Luggage is where you plan honestly. There's a small front compartment and that's it. Think one soft holdall, a camera bag, maybe a slim cabin case if you pack light. Two people heading to DXB or DWC with normal suitcases won't fit them, full stop. If the trip needs real bags, this isn't the airport car. Rent it for the drive and move luggage separately.

Heat, the cabin and Dubai running

In a Dubai summer the car bakes after twenty minutes in the sun, and the 720S cabin is small and glassy, so it heats up fast. The flip side is that small cabin cools quickly once you're moving with the AC on full. Give it a few minutes before you expect comfort, start the climate before you climb in if you can, and the cabin settles. Don't expect plush GT-car cosseting; the seats and trim are focused on the drive, firm and snug rather than soft.

On fuel, be realistic. Driven the way a 720S invites, you'll see well under the quoted 6.0 km/L, and the 72-litre tank empties quickly. A spirited day means watching the gauge, but petrol stations are everywhere and a fill is cheap by supercar standards. The 250 km daily distance is plenty for the kind of drive this car is for.

Standard Dubai rules apply and they pass to you. Salik tolls are billed to the rental, RTA fines for speed or otherwise are yours, and the speed cameras here are thorough, which matters more in a car this fast. Belts on for both seats, always. Drive it on the right roads at the right pace and the 720S is theatre; treat the speed limit as a suggestion and it gets expensive quickly.

Who should rent it, and who shouldn't

Rent the 720S if you want the experience itself: the doors, the noise, the savage acceleration, a once-in-a-trip drive you'll remember. It's perfect for a special occasion, a photo morning, or a few hours on open road where the engine can breathe. Note that stricter security terms may apply on a car at this level, so confirm the details when you book.

Don't rent it as transport. If you need to carry real luggage, do airport runs with bags, seat more than two, or just live with the car for a practical week, you'll be happier and more comfortable in a GT car or a luxury SUV. The 720S is brilliant at exactly one thing, and useless at the rest, and that's the point.
