Rent Nissan Sunny 2020 in Dubai

Two large cases, a carry-on and a duffel is the standard arrival load at DXB, and it is the first test most cheap rentals fail. A Nissan Sunny 2020 rental in Dubai passes it, because under the modest badge sits a proper sedan boot that swallows a family's airport luggage with the parcel shelf still clear. This silver automatic is the least expensive car on our fleet, and on any rental of three days or more we deliver it to your door for free. Cheap transport that carries real luggage is a rarer combination than it should be, and that is the whole case for this car.

Luggage first

The Sunny's boot is deep and squarely shaped, so cases lie flat instead of standing on their corners. Two big check-in bags go in side by side, soft bags fill the gaps, and nothing rides on the back seat. That matters more than it sounds: bags in the cabin block your mirror and cook in the sun. If your week starts and ends at the airport, this boot is the difference between one relaxed trip and two sweaty ones.

The cheapest key on our board

The rate is the lowest we offer, and the costs behind it stay low too. The 1.6 litre engine is modest, the automatic is unstressed, and a week of city errands barely moves the fuel needle. Full to full means you refill only what you burned. There is no clever tech to learn and nothing delicate to worry about at the hotel valet. It is transport, honestly priced, and there are weeks in Dubai when that is precisely the right thing to book.

How it drives here

Around town the Sunny is light, easy and relaxed, with steering you can twirl into a tight bay one-handed. It sits lower than a crossover, so take the taller speed bumps in older areas at a walking pace. On Sheikh Zayed Road it cruises at the limit comfortably, and with 118 hp it merges better than its price suggests, though with five aboard you'll want a longer run-up for overtakes. This is a car for getting places, not for enjoying the on-ramp, and judged that way it has no bad habits.

Silver paint and the summer routine

Silver is kind in this climate, reflecting enough sun that the cabin comes back warm rather than baking. The AC in the Sunny is simple and effective, and the sedan cabin is small enough to settle within the first few minutes of driving. In July, crack the windows for the first thirty seconds, run the fan high, then drop it once the vents blow cold. Rear passengers do fine on anything short of a full inter-emirate run in August.

What the desk will ask of you

You'll need to be 21 or older with a licence held for at least a year, and to show a licence, a passport or Emirates ID, and a card. Salik tolls and any RTA fines during your rental are passed to you. Seat belts are required in every seat, and under-fours need a child seat, which we can arrange with the booking.

The honest recommendation

If your priorities are the lowest rate and a boot that handles airport life, book the Sunny and don't overthink it. Students, solo workers and couples on a budget get everything they actually use. The limits are just as clear: four adults travel fine but five is a squeeze, and there is no desert ability and no glamour. If you want ride height for the same kind of money, our Nissan Kicks costs a little more and parks even easier. Purely on value per dirham spent, though, nothing on our fleet touches this car.
