Rent Mercedes G63 2022 in Dubai

Book a Mercedes G63 2022 in Dubai and the number to plan around isn't the price, it's the mileage. This G63 comes with 6,000 kilometres included across the whole rental, not per day, and every kilometre past that costs AED 15. That's a real cost risk if you treat this like a car for long highway loops or repeated Abu Dhabi runs. We drop the G63 at your hotel, villa or the arrivals hall within one to two hours of booking, which usually happens well before anyone thinks to ask about mileage. This page is here to make sure you do ask, before the allowance runs out on you.

The twin-turbo V8, and how it drives

Everything about renting a G63 starts with the engine. AMG builds this V8 by hand: one technician assembles each one start to finish and stamps a plate with their name once it's done. It's a 4.0-litre twin-turbo unit sending 585 hp and 850 Nm through a nine-speed automatic to all four wheels. Carrying close to two and a half tonnes, it still gets to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, though the figure isn't really why people book this car.

The reason is what happens when you open the throttle. Cold-start it and the exhaust cracks sharp enough that valets look up before you've even pulled off. There's a short pause off the line while the turbos spool, then the V8 lands hard and keeps pulling well past where most SUVs give up. This 2022 car is the pre-facelift version, so there's no 48-volt hybrid assist smoothing that low-speed gap, which some drivers actually prefer. It feels more mechanical, less filtered.

Away from a straight line, be realistic about what this car is. The steering is heavy and slow, the tall body leans through bends, and past 120 km/h the flat front is visibly working against the wind. Underneath sits a genuine off-roader with three locking differentials and a low-range gearbox, but nobody should take a rented G63 dune-bashing. Width matters more day to day: across the mirrors it runs close to 2,187 mm, so a tight Marina ramp or an older mall's multi-storey means folding the mirrors in and taking it slow. Ground clearance of 241 mm shrugs off speed bumps and steep driveways without a scrape.

Room inside, and what the boot holds

Inside, the G63 is far more usable than its road presence suggests. Five seats sit upright with real head room front and back, and the driving position is tall enough that you see clean over most traffic, which takes some of the nerve out of placing a car this wide. Behind the rear seats there's 480 litres of boot, enough for two large cases and a squashy bag off a DXB pickup, though not a family's full week of luggage. The tailgate swings out sideways with the spare wheel bolted to it, rather than lifting up, so leave room behind the car to open it fully. Getting in is the part first-time renters underestimate too: running boards help, but it's still a proper step up, worth a thought if you've got a toddler to lift in or you're arriving somewhere in heels.

Dubai summer heat is unkind to any parked car, and a black G63 with tall, upright glass holds onto that heat well after you've walked away, so the first minute back inside is genuinely warm. What saves it is the climate system: strong from both rows, with proper vents reaching the back seats rather than a faint trickle off the dash, so the cabin drops to comfortable within a couple of minutes of pulling away. Parking in shade or on a basement level, when it's on offer, shortens that wait further.

Why the mileage math matters here more than usual

Most of the G63 bookings we run cap mileage by the day, somewhere around 250 kilometres, resetting every 24 hours whether you use it or not. This one works differently. The 6,000 kilometres attached to this 2022 car cover the whole rental as one pool, so a heavy day of airport runs followed by a quiet week still nets out fine, as long as the total stays under the cap. For most renters that's genuinely generous. A week of hotel-to-meetings-to-dinner driving, even with a couple of DXB or DWC trips mixed in, rarely clears 700 or 800 kilometres.

Where it turns expensive is distance. Push past 6,000 kilometres and the overage runs AED 15 per kilometre, well above the fifty fils to AED 5 a kilometre that some other G63s in this fleet charge once their allowance runs out. Fifty kilometres over costs AED 750, and 100 kilometres over costs AED 1,500, on top of whatever you already paid to book the car. That's a genuine risk if you're planning repeated Abu Dhabi round trips, a long daily commute, or a rental stretching well past a couple of weeks. Track your kilometres as you go rather than finding out at drop-off, and treat this allowance as generous for a normal Dubai week, not as room to road-trip freely. Salik tolls and any RTA fines during the rental are billed back to you separately, on top of whatever mileage you use.

The renter this mileage deal suits, and who should pass

The G63 earns its price on presence and that V8, not on being practical. Rent it if what you want is a hand-built engine, a hard exhaust note, and a shape nothing else in Dubai's rental fleet quite matches, for a week where showing up matters as much as getting there. The 100-litre tank takes premium only, and while Mercedes' official combined figure is close to 14.7 litres per 100 km, real city driving with the AC working flat out pushes that into the high teens, so budget for regular fuel stops regardless of how far you actually drive. You'll need to be at least 21 to take the keys, and because this is a luxury booking, it takes a refundable deposit rather than a no-deposit option.

Look elsewhere if your week involves serious distance, a family's full set of luggage, or a budget that can't absorb a mileage surprise. A Range Rover or a Mercedes GLS rides softer, drinks less, and turns extra kilometres into a much smaller number on the final bill. The G63 was never built to be the sensible choice, and this particular rental makes that trade explicit: pay for the theatre, stay inside the allowance, and it delivers exactly what you booked it for.
