Yango Drive Debuts Tesla Cybertruck Rentals In Dubai
The car rental service has added two of the high-tech vehicles to its Dubai fleet, with hire prices starting at AED 2800 per day.

Car rental service Yango Drive has recently expanded its Dubai fleet with two Tesla Cybertrucks, one of the most talked-about EVs on the planet. Customers can now easily book the state-of-the-art electric vehicles through the Yango app, offering a seamless and convenient rental experience.
The fleet includes two Cybertruck models: the Cyber All-Wheel Drive and the Cyber Beast. Both models are known for their cutting-edge design and superior performance. The rugged EVs boast features such as a bulletproof stainless steel exoskeleton and shatterproof glass, making them not only durable but also extremely safe.
The Cyber All-Wheel Drive model can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds and can travel more than 755 km with a range extender. The Cyber Beast — the more performance-oriented variant — can reach 100 km/h in a mere 2.7 seconds, with a top speed of 200 km/h and a range of over 705 km. Both models come equipped with steer-by-wire controls and rear-wheel steering, providing an exceptional driving experience akin to a sports car but with a sedan’s practicality and turning radius.

Customers can rent Cybertrucks for periods starting from just one day, with rates beginning at AED 2800, depending on the model chosen. Both delivery and self-pickup options are available, offering flexibility to suit every customer’s needs. To rent one of these impressive trucks, drivers must be at least 23 years old and have a minimum of one year of driving experience with a valid license.
To promote the new addition to their fleet, Yango Drive is also hosting an Instagram competition until August 2nd. The winner — selected through an electronic draw — will enjoy a complimentary 4-hour rental of the Tesla Cybertruck. Participants need to follow the Yango Drive Instagram account, tag two friends in the comments, and share the post on their stories to enter the competition.
