Bus Rental Companies in Dubai: How to Compare Your Options

When comparing bus rental companies in Dubai, start with the details of your journey: passenger numbers, luggage, pickup points, travel times and the type of vehicle you need. A quotation is easier to assess when it clearly identifies the offered vehicle and what the booked service includes.
Use this guide to compare bus rental quotations, vehicle facilities and booking terms for the same journey. Royal Plus Transport’s fleet and rates below are examples to help you assess an offer.
For our available vehicle sizes, published rates and enquiry form, visit bus rental in Dubai with a driver. Royal Plus bookings are for a private vehicle for your group, with availability and the final quotation confirmed by our team.

Compare Vehicles by Passenger Count and Luggage
Choose a vehicle that accommodates your passengers and the items travelling with them. Include accompanying adults and any guide in the passenger total. Seating capacity alone does not confirm luggage space, so send the number and size of your bags when enquiring.
- Kia Carnival: our service with a driver accommodates six passengers excluding the driver.
- 12-seater Hiace: accommodates 12 passengers excluding the driver. See our 12-seater van rental page.
- 15-seater minibus: accommodates 14 passengers excluding the driver. View the 15-seater option.
- Larger groups: compare our 22-seater minibus, 35-seater bus and 50-seater bus. We also offer 20-seater, 26-seater and 30-seater options.
- Specific vehicle requests: Mercedes Sprinter, Mercedes Viano, Lexus and GMC vehicles are also offered. Confirm the exact model, seating layout and availability with our team.
For a step-by-step comparison of seats, luggage and booking types, read our guide to choosing the right bus rental in Dubai. Our fleet page provides details of several vehicle options. If your group has particular luggage or accessibility requirements, include them in the enquiry so we can discuss a suitable arrangement.
Luxury Bus Rental in Dubai: Fleet and Comfort
For a VIP arrival, business event or wedding, explain what matters to your booking. That may include a particular model, interior layout, multiple pickups or a vehicle available for several stops.
Royal Plus Transport offers 2025 and 2026 Higer, Yutong and King Long buses in its 35- and 50-seater fleet. Our luxury buses have air conditioning, reclining seats, seat belts, Wi-Fi, USB charging, a microphone and an entertainment screen. Ask our team for the make, model year and current photos of the bus available for your date.
The luggage allowance is one large suitcase plus hand luggage per passenger. Tell us about oversized bags, strollers or equipment when enquiring so we can check the storage arrangement for your group. All our buses have full passenger insurance.
For Royal Plus vehicle details and booking options, compare our luxury coach rental prices in Dubai. Use the comparison checklist below when reviewing quotations from different providers.
Send Each Company the Same Trip Brief
Use the same passenger count, route and hours for every quotation. A lower price is difficult to compare if one quote excludes waiting time or offers a smaller vehicle. Copy this checklist into your enquiry:
- Travel: date, pickup time, first address and final drop-off.
- Group: number of adults and children, plus any accompanying guide.
- Luggage: large suitcases, cabin bags, strollers and equipment.
- Itinerary: all stops, required arrival times and expected waiting periods.
- Vehicle: passenger capacity, preferred model and essential facilities.
- Quote: total price, included hours, extra-time charges and payment or cancellation terms.
Ask for a written summary of the agreed vehicle and itinerary. For an airport pickup, add the flight number and terminal and confirm the meeting point and delay arrangements.
Compare the Full Quotation
When reviewing quotations from bus rental companies in Dubai, check that they cover the same itinerary and duration. A one-way transfer and a 10-hour booking are different services.
For Royal Plus Transport, examples of standard Dubai rates are:
| Vehicle | Half day5 hours | Full day10 hours | Extra hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12-seater Hiace | Ask for a quote | 550 | 60 |
| 22-seater minibus | Ask for a quote | 600 | 80 |
| 35-seater bus | 600 | 800 | 100 |
| 50-seater bus | 700 | 1,000 | 130 |
On a small screen, swipe the table to see all rates. Extra-hour charges apply after the booked duration.
These standard rates include the driver, fuel, Salik, parking and VAT for the booked service. Extra time beyond the booked 5 or 10 hours is AED 100 per hour for the 35-seater and AED 130 for the 50-seater. For the 12-seater Hiace and 22-seater minibus, additional time after a 10-hour booking is AED 60 and AED 80 per hour respectively.
Confirm your full route and schedule with our team to establish the applicable quotation and availability. Weekly and monthly rentals are quoted individually based on the route, schedule and vehicle. Other vehicles and specific VIP arrangements are quoted separately. Tour guides and attraction tickets are separate from the standard transport rate.
Match the Service to Your Journey
Tell us the purpose of your booking so we can discuss the appropriate arrangement:
- Airport transfers: we track flights and provide meet-and-greet. Two hours of waiting from the actual flight landing time are included. Waiting beyond two hours is charged at the vehicle’s extra-hour rate: AED 100 for a 35-seater or AED 130 for a 50-seater. Provide your flight number, terminal, passenger count, luggage and destination so we can confirm the meeting point.
- Corporate and private events: include venue addresses, required arrival times, waiting periods and return journeys.
- Sightseeing: list your preferred stops and expected time at each location. View our Dubai and Abu Dhabi city tour options.
- Recurring journeys: provide the service period and timetable. See our staff transportation service.
For journeys between Dubai and other emirates, send the complete pickup and destination details and specify whether you need one-way or return transport. We also arrange trips to Oman and Saudi Arabia based on your requirements; request a quotation for your itinerary.
Event branding or decorations, child seats and wheelchair-accessible vehicles can be arranged on request. Explain what you need before booking so our team can confirm the appropriate vehicle, availability and quotation.

Bus and Coach Rental Questions
How do I compare bus rental companies fairly?
Compare quotes for the same date, passenger count, luggage, route and duration. Check the offered vehicle, included charges, overtime rate and booking terms together. Use current vehicle photos and specific answers about your requirements to assess suitability.
Does a luxury bus always include Wi-Fi or reclining seats?
Features vary between providers, so compare the exact vehicles offered. Royal Plus luxury buses include Wi-Fi, reclining seats, air conditioning, seat belts, USB charging, a microphone and an entertainment screen. Confirm your preferred model and any special requirements when booking.
Can I book a luxury bus for just five hours?
Yes. In Dubai, a 5-hour booking is AED 600 for a 35-seater or AED 700 for a 50-seater, including the driver, fuel, Salik, parking and VAT. Share your route and pickup time so we can confirm availability.
Should I choose a minibus or a larger coach?
Start with your passenger count, then check luggage and the full itinerary. A minibus may suit a smaller group, while a larger coach may suit more passengers. Ask about pickup access and luggage storage before deciding; spare seats alone do not prove that bags will fit.
