Cleaning equipment hire in the UAE: terms, licence costs and delivery
On this page: prices · who offers it · how to get prices
The results we found do not publish a daily or monthly hire rate for cleaning machines in the UAE, so the price depends on the machine, the lease term and the area you need to clean. Floor cleaning machines are offered on daily, weekly and monthly rentals, so ask for all three rates side by side. For a quote on your machine and delivery to your area, send a request on BlaBlaPrice.
The quote depends on these factors:
- The machine: floor scrubbers, sweepers, vacuum cleaners and pressure washers are listed separately
- The lease term: daily, weekly or monthly
- The area in square metres and the surfaces, such as floors, windows or façades
- Whether detergents and consumables are included, and whether an operator comes with the machine
- Delivery to your area, and any deposit or collateral the hire company asks for
Trade licence and business costs
A cleaning company in Dubai needs a trade licence, and the results put the licence fee at about AED 10,000 to AED 15,000 a year, with smaller fees on top. Starting a small cleaning company may cost AED 25,000 to AED 35,000, depending on the licence type and the office. If you hire a machine for a cleaning business, ask the hire company what its contract says about breakdowns during the hire.
Heat, season and servicing
The UAE has a desert climate, very hot from May to September and mild from November to March. A machine that runs for hours in summer heat needs a service check before a long hire, and outdoor work is easier to schedule in the mild winter months. Ask how the company services its equipment between hires.
Delivery and contracts across the Emirates
The hire companies in the results serve Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the rest of the UAE, and some deliver with operator support. Confirm the delivery area, how long delivery and collection take, and what happens if the machine breaks down during the contract. Give your city or area, whether Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Abu Dhabi or Al Ain, so the company can quote delivery to that address.
