Ferrari F8 Tributo or Lamborghini STO: Which to Rent in Dubai
From car reviews and industry updates to maintenance advice, driving tips and buying recommendations, our blog brings together everything you need to stay connected to the world of cars.
Rent the Ferrari F8 Tributo if you want a supercar you can drive all day in Dubai without getting tired: it is quick, smooth and easier over bumps. Rent the Lamborghini STO if the point is the sound, the look and a race car feel for a few hours. The F8 costs AED 2,599 a day, the STO AED 2,959.
How much does it cost to rent a Lamborghini STO in Dubai?
Renting a Lamborghini STO in Dubai with Hermas costs AED 2,959 a day, and the Ferrari F8 Tributo costs AED 2,599 a day. Both prices include VAT and comprehensive insurance, and there is no security deposit on either car. If you want a Lamborghini without the STO’s hard edge, the Huracan EVO is the softer and cheaper option.
- Ferrari F8 Tributo — AED 2,599 a day. A turbocharged mid-engine V8 that is fast, refined and comfortable enough for a full day of driving.
- Lamborghini STO — AED 2,959 a day. The road-legal, race-inspired Huracan, with a naturally aspirated V10, a big rear wing and a stiff, loud character.
- Lamborghini Huracan EVO — AED 2,149 a day. A V10 Lamborghini with a calmer, more forgiving character, and the lowest price of the three.
The STO costs AED 360 a day more than the F8. Longer rentals cost less per day, so if you plan to keep a car for a week or more, ask us for the rate on WhatsApp. A monthly rate can be quoted on request.
How do the F8 Tributo and the STO compare on Dubai roads?
The F8 Tributo is a polished grand performer. Its twin-turbo V8 pulls hard from low revs, so it feels fast at legal speeds without chasing the redline. The steering is light in traffic, the gearbox is smooth in town, and the cabin is quiet enough to talk on the way to dinner.
The STO is a different kind of car. Lamborghini built it as the road version of its one-make racing car, and it shows: the naturally aspirated V10 revs high and loud, the rear wing and roof scoop look straight off a race grid, and every input feels sharp and immediate. It is thrilling for two or three hours. After a full day, the noise and the stiff ride wear most drivers out.
Dubai’s highways are smooth, but bridges and flyovers have expansion joints, and older streets in Deira and Bur Dubai have patches and speed bumps. In the F8 those joints are a thud you notice and forget. In the STO you feel each one through the seat and the steering wheel. The Huracan EVO sits between the two, with a ride that is firm but not tiring.
For a photo shoot, the STO wins. The wing, the vents and the race look make it the car people stop to film, and it photographs well at Dubai Marina, City Walk or Al Seef in the evening light.
For a long drive, take the F8 Tributo. A run to Hatta on the paved mountain road, or a day along the coast, is easier in a car that stays comfortable at a steady pace. The mileage allowance averages 250 km a day across the rental, which covers most day trips.
For the sound, it is the STO, then the Huracan EVO. A naturally aspirated V10 has a sharp, rising howl that a turbocharged engine does not copy. The F8 sounds good, but its turbo V8 is deeper and quieter.
| Car | Price a day | Character | Ride over joints | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ferrari F8 Tributo | AED 2,599 | Turbo V8, smooth and refined | Comfortable | Long drives and full days |
| Lamborghini STO | AED 2,959 | Naturally aspirated V10, race-inspired | Stiff | Sound, photos and short thrills |
| Lamborghini Huracan EVO | AED 2,149 | V10, softer and more forgiving | Firm but easy | A Lamborghini on a lower budget |
What about steep car park ramps and speed cameras?
All three cars sit low at the front, and the STO’s splitter is the part to watch. Mall and hotel car parks in Dubai often have steep ramps and tight turns. Take ramps slowly and at a slight angle, so one front wheel climbs before the other, and cross speed bumps at walking pace. If a ramp looks too steep, look for a flatter entrance or park at street level.
Speed cameras are everywhere in Dubai, on highways and on ordinary streets. These cars reach the limit very quickly, so watch the speedometer rather than the sound. Traffic fines are billed at cost after the rental, as are Salik tolls. The good news is that both cars are exciting at legal speeds, and the STO in particular sounds dramatic long before it is going fast.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Lamborghini STO comfortable enough for a full day in Dubai?
It can be done, but most people find it tiring. The STO is stiff, loud and built around a race car, so every expansion joint and speed bump comes through. For a full day of driving, the Ferrari F8 Tributo or the Huracan EVO is the easier choice. The STO is at its best for a few hours of driving, filming or a night out.
Is there a deposit to rent a Ferrari F8 Tributo or Lamborghini STO in Dubai?
No. Hermas does not take a security deposit on any car, for any duration, and nothing is blocked on your card. The daily price of AED 2,599 for the F8 Tributo or AED 2,959 for the STO already includes VAT and comprehensive insurance. Salik tolls and any traffic fines are billed at cost after the rental.
Which is cheaper, the Lamborghini STO or the Huracan EVO?
The Huracan EVO is cheaper at AED 2,149 a day, against AED 2,959 for the STO. Both have a V10 and the Lamborghini look, but the EVO is softer, quieter and easier to live with on Dubai roads. Choose the STO if you want the wing, the race car feel and the loudest sound; choose the EVO if comfort matters more.
Can I drive the F8 Tributo or the STO to Hatta or Jebel Jais?
Yes, on the paved mountain roads. Both cars are fine for a scenic drive to Hatta or up Jebel Jais, and the F8 Tributo is the more relaxed car for the distance. Keep to the asphalt, since the rental agreement does not cover off-road or desert driving.
