7 Seater Car Rental Dubai: GMC Yukon, Tahoe or Cadillac Escalade
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.
For seven people and their luggage in Dubai, the GMC Yukon at AED 529 a day is the best value, and the Chevrolet Tahoe is its close cousin. Choose the Cadillac Escalade from AED 799 a day when the arrival matters, the Escalade XL when every seat is taken and the bags still need room, and the Escalade V when you want the most power.
How much does it cost to rent a 7 seater car in Dubai?
A 7 seater SUV at Hermas costs from AED 529 a day for the GMC Yukon to AED 1,249 a day for the Cadillac Escalade V. Every price is per day and includes VAT and comprehensive insurance, with no security deposit on any car.
- GMC Yukon — AED 529 a day. Seven seats and the lowest price in this group, which makes it the natural first choice for families.
- GMC Yukon 2026 — AED 699 a day. The newest Yukon in the fleet, with the same seven seats and a more recent cabin.
- Chevrolet Tahoe 2025 — AED 619 a day. A three-row full-size SUV built on the same base as the Yukon, with a plainer, more understated look.
- Cadillac Escalade Black — AED 799 a day. Seven seats, a black finish and the Cadillac cabin, for arrivals that should look the part.
- Cadillac Escalade XL — AED 1,159 a day. The long-wheelbase Escalade, the one to choose when the third row is full and the luggage still has to fit.
- Cadillac Escalade V — AED 1,249 a day. The high-performance V8 Escalade, for groups who want the most powerful SUV in this line-up.
Shared between seven people, the GMC Yukon works out at about AED 76 each per day, the Yukon 2026 at about AED 88 and the Escalade Black at about AED 114. Split four ways, the Escalade XL comes to about AED 290 each and the Escalade V to about AED 312.
Longer rentals cost less per day, and a monthly rate can be quoted on request.
| Car | Price a day | Cabin | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|

| Cadillac Escalade Black | AED 799 | Seven seats | Hotel arrivals and weddings |
| Cadillac Escalade XL | AED 1,159 | Long wheelbase, three rows | A full third row plus luggage |
| Cadillac Escalade V | AED 1,249 | High-performance V8 | Groups who want the most power |
GMC Yukon or Chevrolet Tahoe: what is the difference?
The difference is mostly styling and price, because the Yukon and the Tahoe are close cousins. Both are full-size, three-row SUVs from General Motors, built on the same base, and they drive in much the same way.
Pick the GMC Yukon at AED 529 a day if the budget comes first, since it is the least expensive way to move a family of seven in one car. The GMC Yukon 2026 costs AED 699 a day and the Chevrolet Tahoe 2025 AED 619 a day, so the choice between them comes down to taste: the GMC looks bolder and more upmarket, the Chevrolet a little plainer.
In summer, when afternoons pass 40 °C, start the engine a few minutes early so the back rows are cool before everyone gets in.
When is the Cadillac Escalade worth the extra?
The Escalade is worth the extra when the car is part of the occasion: a hotel arrival, a wedding, or a business group met at the airport. At AED 799 a day, the Escalade Black costs AED 270 more than the GMC Yukon, and that buys the Cadillac cabin, a more luxurious finish and the presence people notice at a hotel entrance.
The Cadillac Escalade XL, at AED 1,159 a day, is the long-wheelbase version. Choose it when every seat in the third row is taken and the suitcases still need space, because the extra length goes to the luggage area behind the last row.
The Cadillac Escalade V, at AED 1,249 a day, is the high-performance V8 version, for those who want the most powerful SUV in this group.
Arriving at Dubai airport with family and luggage
Delivery to Dubai airport is free, so the SUV can be waiting when you land and the family goes straight from arrivals to the hotel. Send your flight details on WhatsApp when you book, so the handover time matches your arrival.
How much luggage fits behind the third row depends on the bags. In the standard Yukon, Tahoe and Escalade, the space behind a full third row suits carry-on cases and soft bags, and large suitcases usually need part of the third row folded.
Child seats are something to ask about, not to assume. Ask on WhatsApp when you book, tell us how many children are travelling and how old they are, and we will tell you what we can arrange for your dates.
What does every rental include?
Every price above includes VAT and comprehensive insurance. There is no security deposit on any car, for any rental length, and nothing is blocked on your card.
Delivery and collection are free anywhere in Dubai, the airport included. The mileage allowance averages 250 km a day across the rental period.
Salik tolls and any traffic fines are billed at cost after the rental.
Tourists need a passport and a valid driving licence, plus an International Driving Permit if the licence was not issued in the UAE, GCC, US, Canada or EU. UAE residents need an Emirates ID and a UAE licence. The minimum age is 21.
The rental agreement does not cover dune bashing or driving off the asphalt, so keep these SUVs on paved roads.
