If you’re going to hire a car in the UAE, choose one that stands out from the crowd at these rental firms, as profiled by our friends over at Emirates Man.

RETRO RENTALS
A relative newcomer to the UAE car hire scene, Retro Rentals currently only has one car available to rent, the GMC truck, but with the promise of being able to offer more in the future. Based in Dubai, the company has managed to find a hole in the market, renting out beautiful, classic and unique motors in a market already flooded with supercars and SUVs. Their 49-year-old GMC Truck comes with a wooden interior, banana yellow chrome bumpers and a 350 Chevy engine. Price on request.

DUBAI EXOTIC LIMO
While Dubai Exotic Limo rents out standard Cadilac Escalade SUVs and Lincoln Navigators, it’s the Exotic part of its name that offers the more outrageous vehicles, including stretched Hummers, Dodge Chargers and Lincolns. Naturally, a lot of its business comes from weddings and birthday parties, but Exotic Limo also recommends its beasts of the road for events such as the Dubai Rugby Sevens.

The pick of their bunch is BiG Red, basically a Ford F550 truck that’s been turned into a limo and can fit 30 people in it – standing up. It comes with a sound system, a red leather interior, six TVs, a fully-stocked bar, a DVD player, a phone and, perhaps most importantly, tinted windows. It’ll cost you a million dirhams to buy one and Dhs1,000 per hour to rent.
