Rent a Kia Carnival in Dubai

Why rent the Kia Carnival in Dubai

The Kia Carnival is the people carrier families in the UAE ask for by name, and Kia Carnival rental Dubai searches pick up every school holiday and winter season. It is a van-shaped vehicle that drives like a large car: sliding rear doors for tight car parks, a flat floor and a third row adults can actually sit in on the run to Abu Dhabi.

The UAE-spec car is sold with one engine, a 3.5-litre petrol V6 producing about 290 hp and 355 Nm through an 8-speed automatic and front-wheel drive. Official combined fuel consumption for the V6 is 9.6 L/100km; in Dubai traffic with the air conditioning running expect something closer to 12 to 14 L/100km, and the 72-litre tank still gives a comfortable range. It comes as a 7-seater with second-row captain's chairs or as an 8-seater with a bench.

• Seats: 7 (captain's chairs) or 8 (bench), depending on trim
• Boot: about 627 litres with all three rows up, close to 2,800 litres with the third row folded
• Engine sold in the UAE: 3.5L V6 petrol, about 290 hp, 8-speed automatic
• Fuel: petrol, 9.6 L/100km official combined, 72 L tank
• Length: 5,155 mm, so allow for it in older mall car parks

Kia Carnival rental Dubai: how the Fleet+ quote works

Urban Go does not hold the Carnival in its own fleet, so we do not publish a fixed price for it. It is sourced through Fleet+, our licensed partner network, and quoted at the current market rate on WhatsApp. Send your dates, how many seats you need and the delivery address if you want one, and we usually confirm availability within 24 hours. The rental contract is still issued under Urban Go's name as an RTA-authorised dealer and agency, so the insurance, deposit terms and support are the same as for any car in our own fleet.

If you need a 7-seater today rather than tomorrow, three cars from our own fleet are available now with published prices:

All prices include VAT. The Sorento is the closest in-fleet match for a Carnival customer: same brand, seven seats and a sensible monthly rate. See the full 7-seater car rental Dubai range for more.

What is included

• Comprehensive insurance, with Smart Cover and Full Cover upgrades available if you want a lower excess
• 4,000 km per month on monthly rentals, which covers a daily commute plus a couple of Abu Dhabi or Al Ain trips
• VAT-inclusive pricing, so the quote you get on WhatsApp is the amount you pay
• A standard deposit of AED 1,500, refunded after return, with a zero-deposit option available on request
• Salik passed through at cost plus AED 1 per pass; traffic fines passed through to the renter
• Fuel returned same-to-same

Car swaps during a longer rental are usually available but not guaranteed, and on a Fleet+ booking we confirm the exact trim and colour with you before you commit.

Who the Carnival suits

• Families with visitors in town. Grandparents, two children and the airport luggage all fit with the third row up, and the sliding doors make car seats easier to handle in a Dubai Mall car park.
• Group trips to Abu Dhabi or the northern emirates. Seven adults and a weekend's bags in one vehicle on a monthly rental works out cheaper than two mid-size SUVs.
• Tourists on a longer stay. If you are visiting for two to four weeks, the Carnival turns Expo City, Hatta and the Abu Dhabi Louvre into easy day trips without juggling taxis for a large group.

Documents you need

UAE residents need an Emirates ID and a valid UAE driving licence. Visitors need a passport, the visa or entry stamp, and a home-country licence, plus an International Driving Permit where that licence is not on the MOI recognised list. Send the documents on WhatsApp before the contract is drawn up so the handover takes a few minutes rather than half an hour.
