Rent a Toyota Granvia with Driver in Dubai

Renting a Granvia is the practical way to move a group around Dubai, because everyone and their luggage stay in one vehicle. The main reasons are listed below.

• Individual seats for everyone: no one shares a bench on a long transfer
• Kerbside sliding doors: passengers step straight onto the pavement in tight drop-off bays
• Luggage stays with the group: room for 4 large cases behind the rear seats
• No driving stress: the chauffeur handles routes, traffic and parking

The Granvia pairs a 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine producing 278 hp and 351 Nm with a six-speed automatic. It is built on the same H300 platform as the Hiace but finished as a passenger car, with four individual captain's chairs behind the driver, woodgrain and metallic cabin trim, and a rear air-conditioning system with a nanoe ion generator that filters the air rather than simply cooling it.

Groups who need one vehicle and one driver should rent a Granvia. The most common bookings are listed below.

• Executives and small teams: a quiet cabin to work or rest between stops
• Families: individual seats and easy kerbside access
• Wedding and event guests: a comfortable shuttle between venues
• Visitors on longer stays: a vehicle and driver for the whole trip

Renting a Toyota Granvia with a driver in Dubai starts at AED 800 ($218) for five hours and AED 1,300 ($354) for ten hours. Longer bookings and extra hours are quoted at the time of booking. The rate is all-inclusive, covering the vehicle, fuel and a uniformed driver, with no per-kilometre add-on and no surge pricing.

The Granvia chauffeur price includes everything needed to travel. The items are listed below.

• The vehicle: a GCC-spec Toyota Granvia
• The driver: a vetted, uniformed professional
• Fuel: included for the booked hours
• All-inclusive billing: one agreed rate with no per-kilometre charge

Passengers do not need a UAE driving licence, because the chauffeur drives.

Yes, there is a minimum booking duration. The Granvia with a driver is booked from five hours, with a ten-hour full-day option, and longer arrangements available on request.

The Toyota Granvia fits up to 6 passengers and 4 large suitcases. All seats can be used with the luggage still aboard, which is why it handles a group airport run without a second vehicle.

Groups larger than this are better served by a bigger vehicle, and the full range is on our Dubai van hire page.

The four captain's chairs are individual armchairs rather than bench seats, each with its own armrests and recline. Passengers face forward with space between them, so nobody is sharing a seat base or climbing over anyone to get out. On a long transfer to Abu Dhabi that difference is the whole point of booking a Granvia over an ordinary van.

The Granvia is GCC-spec, which means the cooling system is specified for Gulf conditions rather than adapted from a European build. In a vehicle this size that matters most at the back, where air has furthest to travel; the rear of the cabin is served directly rather than relying on air reaching it from the front.

The Granvia is the vehicle that replaced the Previa, but they are not the same model. The differences are listed below.

• Previa: also sold as the Estima, Toyota's previous people mover, discontinued in 2019
• Granvia: the replacement, built on the H300 platform and aimed at premium passenger transport
• The practical difference: the Granvia is larger, rear-wheel drive, and fitted with individual captain's chairs rather than benches

Anyone looking to hire a Previa with a driver in Dubai today is looking for the Granvia.

The occasions that suit a chauffeur-driven Granvia in Dubai are listed below.

• Airport transfers: arrivals and departures at DXB and DWC
• Executive travel: meetings and client visits across the city
• Family days out: beaches, malls and theme parks without parking
• Weddings and events: guest and family transfers
• Intercity trips: Abu Dhabi and the northern emirates

Yes, you can rent a Granvia with a driver for Dubai airport transfers. The driver tracks the flight, meets the group in the arrivals hall and handles the luggage, so a airport pick-up and drop-off in Dubai runs to the same plan whether the group is arriving or departing. Pick-ups and drop-offs are arranged at both DXB and DWC.

Booking a Granvia with a driver in Dubai takes four steps, listed below.

• Choose the vehicle: select the Granvia on this page
• Pick the duration: five hours, ten hours or a longer arrangement
• Share the trip details: date, pick-up point, passenger count and luggage
• Confirm: the driver and vehicle are assigned to your booking

The same process applies to every driver-included car rental in Dubai.

Yes, the Granvia comes with a personal chauffeur in Dubai. One driver is assigned to your party for the booked period, drives only your group, and waits between stops rather than leaving after a drop-off. Customers who chauffeur booking in Dubai get a vetted, uniformed driver who knows the road network, and passengers need no driving licence of their own.

Yes, you can rent a Granvia with a driver monthly in Dubai. A monthly arrangement keeps the same vehicle and the same driver on a planned rate, which suits staff transport, school runs and long projects where a different driver every day would not work.
