Tow bars for cars in the UAE: prices, fitting and warranty

Updated 4 November 2026

A basic 2-inch tow bar or starter kit costs about AED 150 to AED 300 in the UAE, bars for a specific car model are listed from about AED 700, and heavy-duty RV bars reach about AED 6,200. Your car model, year and the load you want to tow decide which bar fits, so send them in a request on BlaBlaPrice and sellers will reply with their offer.

Warranty and type approval

Fitting a type-approved tow bar does not automatically void your car's manufacturer warranty, but the bar must be fitted correctly. Right to Repair guidelines say a manufacturer cannot void your warranty solely because you chose a matching quality, non-original part, so keep the fitting invoice. Ask the seller to show the type approval and check the bar against your car's model and year before you pay.

Season and when to fit

The summer is very hot from May to September, while winter is mild from November to March. Plan fitting and wiring for the mild months, when work outdoors or on a driveway is more comfortable, and keep the very hot summer for indoor jobs. If you tow a trailer often, a fitting in the cooler season gives you time to test the wiring before the summer.

Units, wiring and where it is fitted

Listings quote loads in pounds, such as 1,200 lb for a weight-distributing kit, and bar sizes in inches, such as a 2-inch receiver. Convert the figures to kilograms and check the towing capacity of your car in kg before you buy. Ask whether the price includes wiring for the trailer lights, and whether the bar can be fitted in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman or Al Ain.

Getting offers through BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe your car, the bar you need and the load in your own words in a chat, add a photo if it helps, and BlaBlaPrice's AI asks for missing details. It then looks through sellers' websites and price lists in the UAE and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Sellers registered on the site reply in the chat with their own offer, and your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them. See Car accessories or create a request on the home page.
