Equipment hire: say what exactly you’re looking for

Equipment hire prices in Dubai: daily, monthly and delivery fees

Updated 5 November 2026

Equipment hire in Dubai, as quoted by suppliers across the UAE, typically costs about AED 775 a day, and monthly rates run from AED 1,000 to AED 25,000 depending on the machine (approximately, according to sellers' websites, October 2026). Some suppliers add a mobilisation fee for delivery, and one calculator uses AED 1,500 as an example, so ask for the full cost. For a price on your exact machine and dates, send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

What the price depends on

The machine and its size, how many hours or days you need it and whether an operator is included all change the figure. Listings for heavy equipment say there is no single rate. How far the site is from the supplier also matters, because delivery is charged on top of the hire. Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Al Ain are spread apart, so give your exact site address when you ask.

Season and when to book

Summers in Dubai are very hot from May to September, so outdoor jobs are often moved to the mild months from November to March. October marks the start of that cooler period, and November is a sensible time to book for work that runs through the winter. If your job falls in summer, plan the working hours for the cooler part of the day.

Licences and what to check

A company that rents out equipment in Dubai needs an equipment rental licence, so ask the supplier for its licence number before you agree a hire or pay a deposit. Check that the company name on the licence matches the name on your contract. Find out whether the machine comes with an operator, since that changes the price and who is responsible for running it.

What to write in your request

Name the item you need, the power type (electric, diesel or petrol), the working area in square metres or the load in tonnes, and the hire period in days or months. Say whether an operator, fuel and consumables should be included. Add the delivery address, the city, the dates and your budget in AED. Metric units such as metres, tonnes and kW are the ones local suppliers quote, so use them.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the job in your own words in the chat, with the dates and the location, and add a photo if it helps.

Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their offer and terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose to exchange them.
