Rent Ford Explorer in Abu Dhabi
Live availability & rates via our partner DiscoverCars · free cancellation
The Ford Explorer is a seven-seat SUV that hits the sweet spot for a family in the capital: enough space and ground clearance for real trips, without the running costs of a big V8. The 3.0L engine makes 300 hp, and three rows fold flat when you need the boot. People who rent Ford Explorer in Abu Dhabi usually want a comfortable family car for the airport, the school run and a weekend out to the Liwa Desert. From $120/day with a low deposit.
Why rent a Ford Explorer in Abu Dhabi
The capital rewards a mid-size SUV. You get the high driving position that helps on a busy Corniche, the all-wheel-drive grip for a graded desert road, and a cabin that keeps a full family comfortable on a long E11 stretch toward Al Ain. The 300 hp is plenty for overtaking on the open motorway, and it sips less fuel than the full-size machines.
It packs sensibly too. Seven seats with the third row up, or a big flat load space with it folded for an airport pickup. Yas Island, Saadiyat beaches and a Liwa dune trip are all easy weekends. If you need a touch more room and a bigger engine, the Chevrolet Tahoe is the next size up in our fleet.
Ford Explorer specs and what you get
The 3.0L petrol unit makes 300 hp through an automatic gearbox, with a 0 to 100 km/h time of 7.0 seconds and the kind of motorway comfort that suits long capital distances. Seven seats, roof rails and a versatile boot make it a genuine family hauler.
Rentals include insurance and a low-deposit option, with no-deposit available on many cars. We deliver to Abu Dhabi airport (AUH), your hotel or an office, and the daily rate drops on weekly and monthly bookings. Child seats and an airport transfer can be added at booking.
Driving a Ford Explorer in Abu Dhabi
Traffic runs on the right. Tolls here use the Darb system rather than Salik, and gate charges are billed to the rental. Bring a passport, your national licence and an International Driving Permit; GCC and many EU licences are accepted directly, and minimum age is usually 21 to 25. Fuel is cheap, parking is straightforward in the capital’s wide bays, and the safety features earn their keep on a long family day. For a three-row option that doubles as a more premium daily, see the GMC Yukon.
