Truck, low loader & long-load trailer

Truck, lowbed and long-load trailer hire in the UAE: what affects the price

Updated 31 October 2026

Rental rates for trucks, lowbed trailers and long-load trailers were not listed in our October 2026 search results, and offers are usually made per trip or per job. The price depends on the vehicle, the cargo and the route between cities. For current offers, send your cargo details on BlaBlaPrice and compare replies from businesses that run these vehicles in the UAE.

Prices depend on:

• vehicle type and load capacity
• cargo weight in tons and overall dimensions in metres
• route and distance between Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Al Ain
• whether transport permits or a police escort are needed
• the date and the waiting time at loading and unloading

Weight and size rules to check

Heavy vehicles have a maximum gross weight and maximum dimensions set by the federal ministry. A vehicle that exceeds the maximum gross weight by more than 20% on a single trip is fined AED 600, so state the cargo weight exactly in tons. Oversized loads can need transport permits, so ask the operator whether one is required before you book.

Drivers and licences

A heavy truck licence requires a minimum age of 20 years and at least 25 hours of practical training, according to driving school listings. Ask the operator whether the driver holds the right licence for the vehicle you book. Course and licence fees are separate from the hire price.

Heat, season and timing

Summers from May to September are very hot, and loaded trailers and tyres heat up quickly. Heavy moves are therefore easier to schedule in the mild months from November to March, or early in the morning in summer. Dust and sand are common in the desert all year, so tell the operator if the route is off-road.

What to write in your request

Give the vehicle type, the cargo and its exact weight in tons, the length and width in metres, and the route with start and end cities. Add the date and whether you need a driver. If the cargo is temperature sensitive, state the temperature range. Say your budget in AED and whether you want to pay per trip, per day or for the whole job.

Describe the move in your own words in the BlaBlaPrice chat, and add a photo of the cargo if you have one. The AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in the UAE and shows the businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their offer, terms and delivery, and your contacts stay hidden. See vehicle and heavy equipment hire or start a request on the home page.
