Dubai is a haven for car lovers. Smooth roads, futuristic skylines, and a passion for speed make luxury cars common here. For many residents, owning a supercar is about passion, not just status. The Expat Motors team created this guide to explain how to own a supercar in Dubai.
Dubai is built for supercars. Wide roads, cheap patrol, and perfect weather make it perfect for year-round top-down drives. Moreover, there is no import tax on cars within the GCC, so the city's car culture is unparalleled. That is why it isn't unusual to spot Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Bugattis screaming past on your morning commute.
All this means it is a place where owning a supercar makes sense. Whether you show off your pride and joy along the Sheikh Zayed Road or take it for a weekend spin in the desert, Dubai is the perfect place to own a supercar.
So, how do you own a supercar here?
Many buyers go through authorised dealerships, which offer new and pre-owned vehicles backed by warranties and maintenance plans. However, independent dealerships such as Expat Motors also often have supercars for sale on their forecourt.
If you’re a resident, most banks and finance companies offer car loans. You’ll just need your Emirates ID, residency visa, and proof of income.
Let’s be honest — this is the part most people want to know first. How much is insurance for a supercar when you live in Dubai? It varies, but expect to pay between 2% and 5% of your car’s market value each year.
That means if you’re driving a £200,000 Ferrari, insurance could cost you £4,000 to £10,000 annually. Factors such as age, driving record, and where you park the car all play a part. However, installing anti-theft systems and parking your car in a secure area will contribute to reducing premiums. We also recommend taking out comprehensive cover when owning a supercar, as repairs often require you to visit a specialist.
Once you’ve got your dream car, you’ll want to drive it somewhere worthy. As luck would have it, Dubai offers some of the best driving roads in the world.
These roads make Dubai a genuine paradise for anyone who loves the sound of a roaring engine.
Owning a supercar in Dubai isn’t as unreachable as it might seem. It requires the right planning and a solid understanding of how to own a supercar. However, it requires some budgeting for costs like insurance and maintenance so you can turn that dream into reality. In Dubai, owning your dream car isn't just possible, it's part of the experience.
At Expat Motors, we often have Porsches, Ferraris, Jaguars, and Aston Martins in stock. Visit our showroom or reserve your supercar online.
