You’re heading off on a weekend away, your accommodation is booked, itinerary is planned and you’ve even selected a few restaurants to visit. But what about transportation around the city? Do you book with your regular car hire provider or opt for something different?
With the rise of services such as X Car that enable you to hire a vehicle for as little as a few hours, it may seem that this is the cheapest way to get around, and we thought so too.
So, what’s X Car?
X Car is a ‘car rental agency’ that allows you to hire a car for short periods of time (even just a few hours). You can sign up to monthly or yearly memberships that allow you to use the service in locations the cars operate. Ideal for travellers or commuters that require a vehicle for a short period of time. Or are they?
We selected 5 States across UAE to compare the cost of hiring a car for three days, versus using a X Car for 15 hours over 3 days. Using the same weekend in January, we compared the cost of a standard 5 seater car across Hertz, Thrifty, Sixt and Avis, and found X Car very cheapest among other Car Rentals.
