Rent Exeed TXL 2024 in Dubai

What Exeed is, before anything else

Most visitors have never heard the name, so start there. Exeed is the premium brand of Chery, one of the largest carmakers in China, and it was created to sit above Chery's mainstream models with better materials, more equipment and a quieter cabin. The brand has grown quickly across the Gulf over the past few years, and the TXL is its mid size SUV.

That background matters when you are choosing a rental. You are not booking an unknown machine assembled by an unknown company. You are booking a recent SUV from a manufacturer that builds cars in very large numbers, at a price that reflects how new the badge is in this region rather than what the car is.

The 2024 TXL on this page

One car is listed, a 2024 Exeed TXL with five seats, four doors and a 2.0 litre turbocharged four cylinder petrol engine. The boot is quoted at 600 litres, which is the number that decides most family bookings: two large suitcases, a pushchair and the shopping all fit at the same time without folding a seat.

The listing does not specify a colour, so use the photos above, which show the actual vehicle you will be given. There is one unit rather than a fleet, so what you see is what arrives.

Why a Chinese SUV makes sense in Dubai

Rental cars live a hard life here. Heat, sunlight, dust and stop start traffic wear a car faster than a European climate does, and the things you actually notice on a two week trip are the air conditioning, the seats and the noise level rather than the badge on the bonnet. A 2024 car from a manufacturer that equips its cars generously covers exactly that, and the price is where the difference shows.

The TXL is also an easy first car for anyone new to driving in the UAE. The seating position is high enough to see across several lanes of Sheikh Zayed Road traffic, the turning circle suits underground car parks, and the ride is soft enough for the speed cushions in residential districts like Jumeirah and Mirdif.

AED 158 a day, and what longer bookings save

The daily rate is AED 158 with a minimum booking of 3 days. Turning the longer rates into a daily figure makes the choice obvious:

• Seven separate days would cost AED 1106, while the weekly rate is AED 1020, roughly AED 146 a day and about AED 86 less.
• Thirty separate days would cost AED 4740, while the monthly rate is AED 3460, roughly AED 115 a day and about AED 1280 less.

At AED 115 a day for a mid size SUV with a 600 litre boot, the monthly rate is the reason most people end up on this page a second time. It is the bracket that suits a new arrival waiting on a company car, or a family that needs space for a school term rather than a weekend.

Driving it around the Emirates

Dubai rewards a car like this. The motorway network is wide and smooth, so the run to Abu Dhabi or up the coast to Ras Al Khaimah is genuinely relaxing in a quiet SUV. Salik toll gantries are read automatically as you pass and the crossings are settled through the rental. Paid street parking applies in the older districts and is handled through the meters or the RTA app, while mall car parks are usually free for the first hours.

Two habits are worth adopting. Park in shade whenever you can, because interior temperatures climb fast in summer and a windscreen shade makes a real difference. And stay on graded roads: a road going SUV is not a dune vehicle, and soft sand at the edge of desert tracks catches out more visitors than anything else in the country.

What is included

• Free delivery anywhere in Dubai, to a hotel, an apartment, an office or the airport.
• Insurance included in the rental.
• Pay on delivery, once you have seen the car.
• 24/7 support from a local team throughout the booking.
• Online booking, with your dates confirmed by the team before the car leaves.
• Daily, weekly and monthly rates from 3 days upwards.

How to book the Exeed TXL

Choose your dates on this page, tell the team where in Dubai you want the car and confirm online. You will need a passport or an Emirates ID, a valid driving licence and, for visitors, an international permit alongside the national one. Remember the 3 day minimum when you set your dates.

If the brand is new to you, book a few days first and see how it drives before committing to the month. Most people who try a TXL come back for the monthly rate, which is exactly the way a rental should convince you.
