Default Long Term Car Rental in Dubai?

I am likely to re-locate to Dubai for a year and rather than buy a nice car, I would rather rent. I am sure most of the multi nationals will rent everyday cars but are there any which specialise in longer term rental of , say a Range Rover Sport or X5 or Cayenne?

I know, I know!
But it brings up all sorts of "unheard of companies" and I was just seeing if there were any Dubai resident forum members with a recommendation.

lots of expats rent and usually they pick cars at the nicer end of the market but many find it a waste of time as the drink every day and cannot drive anywhere.

or, heres a suggestion, hire a bog standard car for a week, then ask over there.

sounds like an exciting opportunity and would love to hear how you get on.

i heard off roading on the sand dunes is meant to be a good grin !!!

My dad had a Range Rover when we lived over there. I was only 3 or 4, but still remember hitting my head on the roof lining over the top of a sand dune. And people wonder where I get it from...

Have a look here aswell, one of the biggest forums for expats.

Middle East : British Expat Discussion Forum

I know that you get better deals on hire cars when you rent long term, most stuff is covered over there which is just aswell as the drivers are nutters. Just from personal experience, the standard RR works out about 15% cheaper on hire than the equivalent RR Sport (even the supercharged models).
