The company is named best luxury car rental in the Middle East and best for sports cars in the UAE. Here is how the awards work and what the service looks like on a real trip.
Dubai rewards travelers who can move freely. Attractions are spread across the city, the coast and the desert, and a rental car turns separate stops into a single plan. Octane.Rent, a Dubai-based luxury and sports car rental company, has now won two World Luxury Travel Awards 2026 titles: Best Luxury Car Rental Company in the Middle East and Best Sports Car Rentals in the United Arab Emirates.
What was won
The World Luxury Travel Awards is a program for travel businesses of all kinds, from hotels and tour operators to cruise lines and car rental companies. The 2026 edition is the sixth. On the awards website, Octane.Rent’s winner page lists a Continent Winner title for 2026 and a Regional Winner title for 2025, so this is the second year in a row that the company has been recognized.
How the awards are decided
For travelers who use awards to narrow a choice, it helps to know what stands behind them. According to the organizers’ published procedure, guests, travel agents and tour operators nominate businesses, and voting takes place online. Voters can be travelers, industry peers and followers of the business, and each email address may cast one vote per business. Companies compete at country, regional, continent and global level, but only against others in the same category. Business size is not considered. The voting is described as based on the experience as a whole, including service excellence, attention to detail and efficiency.
What the service looks like on a trip
Arriving at the airport
Octane.Rent delivers cars around the clock to Dubai International Airport and Al Maktoum airport, so a late arrival does not mean waiting for an office to open.
Staying at a hotel or a private residence
Cars can also be delivered to hotels and residences. Insurance is included and no security deposit is required, which keeps the handover short.
Choosing a car
The fleet has more than 400 vehicles across 31+ brands. Visitors can pick an economy car or SUV for practical days, a convertible for the coast, or a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Rolls-Royce, Bentley or Mercedes-Benz for a special occasion.
Staying longer
Rentals are available by the day, week or month, so a long stay can be covered by one booking rather than a series of short ones.
Getting help
Support answers 24/7 by phone, WhatsApp, Telegram and Instagram, and payment is accepted by Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
