UAE equipment rental rates — FAQ

What is the daily rate for a 20-ton excavator in the UAE?
Around AED 1,800–2,800 per day, roughly AED 10,800–17,000 per week and AED 52,000–65,000 per month, ex-VAT. Breaker or quick-hitch attachments and an operator add to that.
How much does a mobile crane cost to rent in Dubai?
A 60-ton mobile crane runs roughly AED 3,500–5,500 per day; a 100-ton class about AED 6,500–9,800 per day, ex-VAT and usually including an operator. Mobilisation, mats and a lift plan are extra.
Do these rates include VAT and delivery?
No — rates are ex-VAT (5% added) and exclude delivery, which is priced per trip by distance and machine size. Fuel and operator may be separate depending on whether the hire is 'dry' or 'wet'.
Are weekly and monthly rates cheaper than daily?
Significantly. Weekly is usually ~4–5× the daily rate (cheaper from ~4 days) and monthly ~2.5–3.5× the weekly — far cheaper per day for long hires. Use the duration planner to find your exact break-even.

Disclaimer: All rates are indicative market ranges for budgeting only, in AED and ex-VAT, and do not constitute a quote or an offer. Actual pricing depends on the specific machine, attachments, supplier, rental period, delivery location, fuel, operator and current demand. Always confirm with a supplier before committing.
