Hourly & Daily Rental Pricing
A 60–67 seat bus is generally not the most economical choice for a very short small-group transfer. It becomes efficient when most of the seats are used or when one large bus replaces multiple vans. Published daily rates differ by AC specification, route and whether the duty is a staff run or a full-day charter.
| Rental plan | Indicative market range | Best suited to | Planning note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local transfer / point-to-point | AED 650–800+ | Large workforce or event movement | Exact rate depends on distance and waiting |
| Full day AC bus / ~10 hours | AED 1,100–1,400 | Staff projects, events, school or industrial duties | Driver/fuel inclusions vary by operator |
| Dubai ↔ Abu Dhabi / Al Ain / Fujairah | Around AED 1,200–1,500+ | Inter-emirate high-capacity movement | Longer hours or dead mileage can add cost |
| Overtime beyond agreed duty | Often AED 50–150/hour | Extended site or event operation | Confirm before dispatch |
Market guidance is based on current 60–67 seat Dubai/UAE references, including Ashok Leyland Falcon and 60/67-seat AC bus listings. Final Smart Group pricing should be route-specific.
