Nov 14, 2026
Octane.Rent won Best Luxury Car Rental Company in the Middle East and Best Sports Car Rentals in the UAE at the 2026 World Luxury Travel Awards. Creators with over 60 million followers recommend the Dubai company, which has also opened in Miami.
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, November 14, 2026 -- Bloggers, a TV presenter, a singer and a UFC fighter chose Octane.Rent for Dubai. The company has now been named Best Luxury Car Rental Company in the Middle East and Best Sports Car Rentals in the UAE, and has opened in Miami.
Octane.Rent, a luxury and sports car rental company headquartered in Dubai, has won two World Luxury Travel Awards 2026: Best Luxury Car Rental Company in the Middle East and Best Sports Car Rentals in the United Arab Emirates. The titles arrive in a year when creators and public figures with a combined audience of more than 60 million followers featured the company in their own content, and when Octane.Rent opened its first international location, in Brickell, Miami.
The company operates more than 400 vehicles in the UAE and holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating from more than 1,700 reviews on Google.
Two 2026 Titles From the World Luxury Travel Awards
Octane.Rent won in two categories at the sixth annual World Luxury Travel Awards. The official winner listing shows Octane Luxury Car Rental in the Luxury Car Rental Company category at continent level and in the Sports Car Rentals category at country level, and the organizer’s establishment page lists the company as a 2026 Continent Winner. The company also won a regional award in 2025, which makes 2026 its second consecutive year of recognition from the program.
The first title compares luxury car rental companies across the Middle East. The second compares sports and performance car rentals in the UAE, where visitors and residents rent high-performance cars for city driving, coastal routes and special occasions.
The awards are decided by nominations and online voting by guests, travel agents and tour operators, with one vote per email address for each establishment. The organizers state that the size of a business is not considered in nomination or voting, so a title reflects the experience of people who used the service: service excellence, attention to detail and efficiency.
Creators With Over 60 Million Followers Chose Octane.Rent in Dubai
Over the past year, creators in several languages and on several platforms have featured Octane.Rent. According to the company’s published reviews, the creators and guests in its Instagram Reviews highlight reach more than 60 million followers combined.
On YouTube, Ilya Varlamov, whose channel has about 5.46 million subscribers, presented Octane.Rent in a video about Dubai. The travel channel BumTV, with about 431,000 subscribers, showed how renting a car lets travelers reach Hatta Lake, Jebel Jais and other emirates. The travel creators Ali & Heli, with about 176,000 subscribers, filmed a supercar rental in Dubai that covered the choice of vehicles, flexible rental periods and delivery.
On Instagram, guests who shared their rentals include the blogger Mikhail Litvin (about 15.4 million followers), the content creator Ossy Marwah (about 9 million), the blogger Sergey Kosenko (about 7 million), the TV presenter Victoria Lopyreva (about 6.3 million), the singer Nyusha (about 4.8 million), the UFC fighter Petr Yan (about 2.2 million), the entrepreneur and blogger Dmitry Portnyagin (about 1.3 million) and the blogger Oleg Torbosov (about 505,000). Ossy Marwah returned to Octane.Rent in 2026. Lopyreva described the company as a “highly recommended rent a car service”. Luxury SUVs and open-top supercars appear most often in these stories.
What Guests Say: Fast Answers, Real Help, Reliable Cars
The same three themes repeat across the content. The first is speed. Lopyreva summed up her experience in three points: new cars, great service and a fast response. One guest said the team solved all questions in a couple of minutes, and Octane.Rent replies to WhatsApp and Telegram messages within five minutes, around the clock.
The second is practical help. One guest forgot her international driving permit, and the team arranged an electronic permit in Dubai by the next morning.
The third is reliability. Andrey Braga, founder of a drift school, advised his followers to save the Octane.Rent contact because adequate rentals are hard to find, and the blogger Arai Chobanyan called the team “great guys” with a huge choice of cars.
Why Octane.Rent Stands Out in Dubai
Together, the awards and these accounts describe a company that delivers the car to the guest, answers quickly and solves problems on the same day. Octane.Rent delivers cars around the clock to Dubai International Airport, Al Maktoum International Airport, hotels and private residences. Every car passes a 60-point inspection before handover, and insurance is included in the rental.
The fleet of more than 400 vehicles covers supercars, convertibles, luxury SUVs and everyday cars, so one company serves tourists, residents, corporate clients and event organizers.
Miami: A New Location and a New Circle of Creators
In 2026 Octane.Rent opened its first international location in Brickell, Miami, taking its Dubai service model to one of the largest luxury travel markets in the United States. The Miami team delivers cars to hotels, residences and Miami International Airport.
Creators who cover Miami have already featured the new location. The automotive creator Fredy Carpower360 (about 240,000 followers on Instagram) presented the Miami fleet, the size of the company and its round-the-clock support. The lifestyle creator Rachel Bailey showed the luxury and sports options available for short and long rentals. The lifestyle creator Stephanie Hickey described the service as “luxury without the stress”, highlighting included insurance and 24/7 delivery. Randle Travel Channel, a family luxury travel channel, presented the idea that a rental car is part of the vacation, and the YouTuber Karem Rincón introduced an Octane.Rent convertible to her Spanish-speaking audience for both Dubai and Miami.
The feedback mirrors what Dubai guests report: a wide choice, delivery to the guest, included insurance and fast communication.
What Comes Next
Octane.Rent plans to keep investing in its fleet, its booking and its customer support in the UAE and the United States. The company thanks its customers, the creators who shared their experience, its partners and its team for the votes and the trust behind the 2026 awards.
