well I think it all depends on how you see things. I think hiring a cheap car is a good thing when you just arrived in Dubai. It allows you to have wheels until you take care of the visa issue (unless you already have a visa waiting for you). It allows you to keep your costs down until you start getting a good and regular cash flow. I personaly prefer to have a cheap car and more cash in my pocket than have a nice flashy car but be stressed to death about money running short. Time and peace of mind are priceless for me. As long as the car is clean, recent, and doesn't make any weird noises then it's ok with me. Oh by the way, I'm 1,83m tall and I don't feel squeezed at all in a aveo/yaris/lancer you just gotta back up the seat to it's last position.

Does anyone know the cheapest car rental company in dubai? i want to hire one on monthly basis and looking for the ultra cheap rate.
Any suggestions?

Read carefully an agreement in advance:
For example:

"Without full insurance in case of accident, Lessee is liable for all repair cost... and the number of days the vehicle is in the garege for accident repaires".

So your cheap option could be very big trouble for you in case of accident because the number of days for repairing are totally indefenite.

That's why always do CDW to avoid the trouble. Unfortunatelly small rent a car doesn't offer CDW at all. My favourite Rent-a-car is Autobahn because after very big accident I paid nothing due to CDW.

CDW? COuld u explain it in brief..

Collision Damage Waiver.

If you pay a small premium at the point of hiring, then you don't have to pay the insurance excess if you have an accident.

It's not really only insurance. It looks like "No objection" letter from the Rent-A-Car. It means you would pay absolutelly nothing in case of any accident or mishaps covered by appropriate police report including rental charges for a period of repair.

As for fee it's relatively small, approximately 250D per month.
