Citroen SpaceTourer with chauffeur in Dubai
The Citroen SpaceTourer is an Assure fleet van hired with a chauffeur in Dubai, never as a self-drive rental. It takes 6 passengers with 3 large suitcases and 2 cabin bags. Citroen sells it in the UAE as a diesel automatic, and Assure books it for airport transfers, intercity runs, private tours and event shuttles.

Who the SpaceTourer suits
Citroen builds the SpaceTourer with up to 9 seats. Assure books it for 6 passengers, which leaves room for 3 large suitcases and 2 cabin bags. That suits a family of 5 or 6 with one checked case per couple, or a work team carrying cabin bags only.
It does not suit 6 travellers who each check a large suitcase. Six cases need the 13-seat Mercedes Sprinter, which takes 6 large suitcases, or two vehicles.
The SpaceTourer is in the Assure fleet, so it does not depend on a partner. A chauffeur drives every booking. There is no self-drive option.
The cabin, from Citroen’s UAE listing
Features vary by version, so confirm the ones that matter on WhatsApp before the day.
- Hands-free automatic sliding doors on both sides.
- Dual-zone automatic air conditioning.
- A panoramic sunroof with a sunshade that closes off the glass in the midday sun.
- A diesel engine with an automatic gearbox in the UAE version. The Kia Carnival and Hyundai Staria use 3.5 L V6 petrol engines instead.
- No wheelchair ramp.
Jobs the SpaceTourer is booked for
- Airport transfers. At Dubai International, your chauffeur waits in arrivals holding your name on a board, then brings the SpaceTourer round to the pickup lane.
- Intercity. Runs such as Dubai to Abu Dhabi for 6 people with 3 checked bags.
- Private tours. A full day out where the panoramic roof gives the rear rows more light than a standard van roof.
- Events. Shuttles between a hotel and a venue for up to 6 guests.
SpaceTourer or Carnival
On paper the SpaceTourer and the Kia Carnival carry the same load: 6 passengers, 3 large suitcases and 2 cabin bags. The SpaceTourer is the van-bodied diesel built for up to 9 seats. The Carnival is a petrol people mover sold with 7 or 8.
For a fourth large suitcase, move up to the Mercedes-Benz V-Class, which takes 4. Our guide to the SpaceTourer, Carnival and Staria compared sets the three people movers side by side.

Questions and answers
Can I rent a Citroen SpaceTourer with a driver in Dubai?
Yes. The SpaceTourer is in the Assure fleet and every booking includes a chauffeur. Assure does not rent vans for self-drive, so you do not need a UAE licence, Salik account or parking plan. Book it by the transfer, for example an airport pickup, or by the hour for a day of stops.
How many passengers and bags fit in the SpaceTourer?
Six passengers, with 3 large suitcases and 2 cabin bags behind them. Citroen builds the SpaceTourer with up to 9 seats, but extra seats take luggage space, so Assure lists it for 6. If each of the 6 travellers checks a large case, book the 13-seat Sprinter or a second vehicle.
Is the SpaceTourer diesel or petrol?
Citroen lists the UAE version as a diesel with an automatic gearbox. That sets it apart from the Kia Carnival and Hyundai Staria in the Assure fleet, which both use 3.5 L V6 petrol engines. For the passenger the difference is small. Pick by seats and suitcases first.
Does the SpaceTourer have a sunroof?
Citroen's UAE listing includes a panoramic sunroof with a sunshade. The shade matters in a UAE summer, because the glass roof can be covered at midday. Equipment can vary from van to van, so ask on WhatsApp whether the car free on your date has the panoramic roof if you want it.
Should I choose the SpaceTourer or the Hyundai Staria?
Both take 6 passengers. The SpaceTourer carries 3 large suitcases and the Staria 2, so the SpaceTourer suits arrivals with checked bags. The Staria's Premium version has relaxation seats with adjustable legrests, which suits a group travelling light on a long day of meetings or a tour.
