Description
For drivers who care how a car feels, not just where it goes: Thrifty Car Rental's red Golf GTI is based at Yas Mall, a short hop from the Yas Marina Circuit.
Rent this Volkswagen Golf GTI 2024 in Abu Dhabi for AED 250/day, AED 1,625/week & AED 3,900/month. Includes 450 km/day mileage (AED 1 per additional km). Security deposit: AED 2,500.
The GTI badge has long stood for a quick, agile hatchback, and this 2024 car keeps the practical side too: five seats, two medium bags, a panoramic sunroof, parking sensors, automatic emergency braking and Apple CarPlay. Take it up the mountain road on Jebel Hafeet for a sunrise run, or keep it for the city and the Saadiyat beaches. Thrifty notes that the photos are for representation only, so ask for current pictures if the exact car matters to you.
AED 250 a day includes 450 km; the week costs AED 1,625 (about AED 232 a day) with 2,500 km, and the month AED 3,900 (roughly AED 130 a day), where the company's note limits mileage to 2,500 km. Every extra kilometre is AED 1 — worth remembering on a spirited road trip.

Rental terms
Kilometres
Allowance: 450 km on the daily rate, 2,500 km on the weekly rate, 4,500 km on the monthly rate. Above the allowance you pay AED 1 per km. For scale: Abu Dhabi to Dubai and back is roughly 280 km.
Fuel
Like for like: bring the car back with the fuel level you received it with. If it comes back lower, the company refuels it and bills you, usually above pump price.
Security deposit
AED 2,500, blocked on your credit card rather than charged and released within 30 days of the return. A deposit paid by debit card, cash or transfer comes back by manual refund, which takes longer.
Rental rules
Basic insurance is part of the price; full cover with a lower excess is usually an extra.
A rental day is 24 hours from pick-up, so a return that is an hour late can cost a full extra day. Handing the car back early may change the rate you pay.
The rental agreement you sign is what binds you and the company, not this page: read it before paying, and agree any change in writing (WhatsApp or e-mail).
Driver & licence
Minimum driver age: 21 years.
Visitors from the GCC, the US, the UK, Canada, Europe and several other countries can drive on their home licence. Other visitors need an International Driving Permit; UAE residents need a UAE licence.
Payment, tolls & VAT
Accepted: Cash, Credit Card, Debit Card.
Salik toll gates: AED 5 per crossing, added to your bill.
Prices shown exclude 5% VAT.
Frequently asked questions
Is the car in the photos the exact one I'll get?
Not necessarily — Thrifty states the images are for representation only. If colour or details matter, ask the branch for current photos before you book.
Can I drive the GTI up Jebel Hafeet and back in a day?
Yes. A return trip from Yas Island to Jebel Hafeet near Al Ain usually fits inside the 450 km daily allowance; anything over it costs AED 1 per km.
What is the best way to keep it for a month?
The monthly rate of AED 3,900 works out to around AED 130 a day and comes with free delivery. The company's note caps monthly mileage at 2,500 km.
