Slot it into any half-bay, drive a week of errands, and barely watch the fuel gauge move. That's the whole pitch for the Mirage, a featherweight Mitsubishi three-cylinder hatch that's among the lightest petrol cars on sale, which is exactly why it costs so little to keep moving. We deliver it free anywhere in the city with no security deposit, so you can rent a Mitsubishi Mirage in Dubai for a few days of city driving without locking up cash. This is a one or two person car for short urban trips and a tight budget. It is not the car for four adults with a week of bags, and it is not the one for sustained fast highway running. This page sorts out which side of that line you're on.
Why it sips fuel like almost nothing else
Start here, because the running cost is the entire reason to rent this car. The Mirage pairs a small 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine with a body that weighs under a tonne, and very little car to push along means very little fuel burned doing it. In real Dubai city driving that lands around 5 litres per 100 km, sometimes under it on a clear morning, a touch more when you're crawling through Deira traffic with the AC flat out. Few cars we run stretch a tank further.
Petrol is cheap in the UAE, but on a two or three week booking the fuel still adds up, and this is the car that keeps that number small. The light body is easy on tyres and brakes too, so the savings aren't only at the pump. If the point of your rental is keeping a long stay of city driving as cheap as possible, the Mirage is the most direct answer we have.
Small enough to park anywhere
The other half of the appeal is size. The Mirage is a little under 3.85 metres long with a tight turning circle, so the column spots and half-bays in older Marina and JLT towers, the cramped levels at Mall of the Emirates, the spiral ramps that bigger cars sweat over, you point it at the gap and it drops in. Light steering at low speed makes the stop-start crawl and the parking, which is most of what this car actually does, genuinely easy.
The Salik tag is fitted and the tolls run on your booking, so the gates on Sheikh Zayed Road and Al Maktoum Bridge are handled without you touching anything. You drive, the tolls reconcile against the rental, and that's the end of it.
Who it's right for, and who should size up
The Mirage suits a narrow group and serves them well. A solo driver or a couple, a student, a visitor parked in a tight tower who needs wheels for a week of short hops. If your driving is the malls, the Marina, JLT, Karama and a dash to the metro, this car covers all of it and costs the least while it does.
Be honest about the limits. It's a five-door with a small boot, around 235 litres with the seats up, which takes a couple of soft bags or a full grocery shop, not two large suitcases plus passengers. Four adults will physically fit, but two up front are the comfortable pair and the rear is best for kids or short city legs. Tall passengers behind tall passengers on a long drive get cramped fast. If you're collecting a family from DXB with checked luggage, this isn't your car. Size up to a sedan and keep the Mirage for the days you drive alone or as a pair.
Where the lightness works against it
The same low weight that makes it cheap makes it nervous when the road opens up. The Mirage holds traffic speed on the highway without drama, but it's a small engine in a light shell, and at a sustained 120 with the July sun forcing the AC to fight for the cabin, it works hard and you feel it. The CVT gearbox sends the revs up before the speed follows, so overtaking a truck on the Abu Dhabi run wants a clear gap and a little patience. A strong crosswind on a long bridge nudges it about more than a heavier car. It'll do the airport run and the odd day trip out of the city, but I wouldn't put it on a regular fast commute down Sheikh Zayed Road, and never with four adults aboard for that drive.
For the desert, the dunes or a wadi, this is flatly the wrong car. Front-wheel drive and low ground clearance keep it on tarmac. If your week includes Hatta or any off-road, rent a 4WD for those days and leave the Mirage in the city, where it earns its keep.
How we hand it over
We bring the Mirage to your hotel, apartment or office at a time you choose, and collect it the same way when you're done, both free. At handover we walk the car with you, log any existing marks, and confirm the Salik tag is active so tolls don't surprise you later. Insurance is included, and any fine picked up during the booking is reconciled against your rental with a record, not sprung on you afterward. To drive it you need a passport, a visa or entry stamp, and a licence. Residents drive on a UAE licence. Visitors need their home licence plus an International Driving Permit, or a licence from a country the UAE accepts directly.
FAQ — Common Questions Answered.
Why is the Mitsubishi Mirage so cheap to run?
It comes down to weight. The Mirage is among the lightest petrol cars on sale, well under a tonne, and a 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine has very little to haul around, so it burns very little fuel doing it. In real Dubai city driving you'll see around 5 litres per 100 km, which stretches a tank a long way over a multi-week booking. The light body is also gentle on tyres and brakes, so the low running cost isn't just at the pump. For a budget renter on a long city stay, that economy is the whole reason to pick it.
How does the Mirage cope on the highway to Abu Dhabi?
It manages the occasional trip but isn't built for regular fast highway running. The small engine holds traffic speed on Sheikh Zayed Road fine, but at a steady 120 with the AC under load it works hard, and the CVT lets the revs climb ahead of the speed when you ask for more. Overtaking trucks needs a longer run-up than a bigger car, and a crosswind on the long bridges moves it around more than you'd want daily. For frequent Abu Dhabi runs or a loaded highway trip, you'll be far more comfortable in a mid-size sedan, so keep the Mirage for the city.
Will four adults and their luggage fit in a Mirage?
Four adults fit, but it's tight on anything past a short city hop. The two front seats are comfortable, and the rear works for kids or for adults on a quick cross-town trip, but tall people behind tall people on a long drive will feel boxed in. The boot is around 235 litres with the seats up, so it takes a couple of soft bags or a grocery shop, not four suitcases. Four adults plus checked luggage to the airport doesn't really work, so for that load rent a larger hatch or a sedan instead.
Is the Mirage easy to park in Dubai's tight garages?
Very easy, and it's half the reason to rent it. At a little under 3.85 metres long with a small turning circle, it drops into the half-bays and column spots in Marina and JLT towers and the mall ramps that defeat bigger cars. The light low-speed steering makes spiral garages and three-point turns in narrow Satwa or Deira streets simple. If most of your driving is city errands and parking, almost nothing we run is easier to place in a bay.
Are Salik tolls, insurance and fines handled for me?
Yes. The Mirage comes with a Salik tag already fitted, so the tolls you pass on Sheikh Zayed Road or the bridges charge straight to your booking and you never deal with the gates. Insurance is included with the car. If you collect a traffic fine during the rental, it's passed on to you with a record rather than a vague charge, so watch the speed cameras, which sit on most main roads here. Everything routine is handled, and anything billed back to you comes with proof.
