Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600

The Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 is the quiet end of the luxury spectrum. Under the bonnet sits a 4.0 litre biturbo V8 with EQ Boost producing 557 horsepower, enough to move nearly three tonnes from rest to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds. Power runs through a 9-speed automatic and 4MATIC all-wheel drive, and E-Active Body Control keeps the cabin level over every expansion joint on Sheikh Zayed Road. The point of this car is not the speed. It is how little you feel of the road beneath you.

Inside, the four-seat configuration turns the rear into a private lounge. The two reclining executive seats heat, cool and massage, the centre console holds a refrigerator compartment, and the Burmester 3D sound system fills a cabin sealed against the heat and noise outside. This is the car for the airport run to a villa on Palm Jumeirah, for board dinners in DIFC, and for guests who expect to be driven rather than to drive. It suits anyone hosting in Business Bay or Dubai Marina who wants the arrival to do the talking.

Owning a Maybach GLS in Dubai means six-figure depreciation and a garage spot it rarely leaves. Renting it for the weekend you actually need it makes far more sense, whether that is a wedding, a client visit, or a slow Friday drive out toward Hatta. The all-in daily rate covers the car in full so there are no surprises at the end. We deliver it to your door, full of fuel and detailed, and collect it when you are done.
