Published price list
Jet car price: three trims, published in full.
The jet car price for the R series is USD 24,490 (R Premium), USD 26,990 (R Ultimate) or USD 28,990 (R Elite) for the craft without engine, and about USD 50,000 for a complete craft with engine, per the manufacturer's catalogue. Search for a jet car to buy and you mostly find broker classifieds and factory marketplaces, not a seller's price list. This page gives ours, what other sellers ask, and what freight, duty and VAT add.
Jet car price list by trim.
Source: the manufacturer's catalogue. US dollars, before freight, import duty and local tax. List prices can change; the written quote is the offer. Compare the three trims.
Why the engine is a separate line.
The manufacturer builds the craft around two kinds of power: a Yamaha inboard power system, or an outboard configuration, which its own material describes as the lower entry investment with simpler maintenance. The two do not cost the same, so the catalogue prices the craft first and the engine second.
We do not print horsepower, top speed or fuel use for our craft. Those figures belong to the engine you choose and arrive with the quote and the specification sheet. How a jet car works explains the two layouts.
Jet car cost elsewhere: what other sellers ask.
| Seller | Asking price | What it covers | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Florida builders, new | USD 58,000–82,000 | Complete craft with engine, sold through yacht brokers | Broker listings on boats.com and theyachtmarket |
| Florida, used | USD 33,000–65,000 | Used complete craft | Broker listings on boats.com |
| Abu Dhabi, used | AED 60,000 (about USD 16,300) | One used jet car | OpenSooq classified |
| Chinese factories | USD 15,000–36,000 FOB | Price at the Chinese port; shipping and certification not included | Alibaba listings |
| True amphibious cars, California | USD 135,000–175,000 | A road vehicle with retracting wheels: a different product | The maker's own site |
Asking prices read in November 2026, not sale prices. We have not inspected any of these craft.
How to read those numbers.
A complete R series craft at about USD 50,000 sits under the 2025–2026 Florida listings for new craft and above the Chinese factory prices, which leave out freight and certification. Used listings sit far below new ones, so count depreciation into any rental plan. And a jet car is not an amphibious car: amphibious cars are another budget.
One more yardstick: a new jet ski costs USD 7,000–22,600 in the JetDrift 2026 price range, so a complete jet car costs roughly three to four times a rental-grade ski. Jet ski or jet car.
Jet car price in Dubai: ride or craft.
Most people who search for the jet car price in Dubai want the price of a ride. Operators there list AED 750–1,200 (about USD 204–327) for 30 minutes and AED 1,000–1,800 (about USD 272–490) per hour, per price lists we collected in November 2026; the breakdown is in our jet car Dubai price guide. Google Trends (November 2026) shows ‘jet car price’ as the top query related to jet cars in the UAE, well ahead of ‘jet car for sale’.
If you are buying in Dubai, the craft price is the list above. There is no import step: the craft is built in the UAE, VAT is 5%, and you register it with the Dubai Maritime Authority. Buying a jet car in Dubai.
What a landed price adds.
Outside the UAE, the cost at your berth is the craft, the engine and these lines.
| Line | What to expect | Who quotes it |
|---|---|---|
| Freight | Truck within the Gulf, container to other ports. Sea rates from the Gulf moved sharply in 2026, so each shipment is quoted. | We do |
| Import duty | Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states: common tariff of 5%, or 0% with a GCC Certificate of Origin. USA: 1.5% plus any add-on tariff in force. EU: about 1.7%. | Your customs broker |
| VAT or sales tax | UAE 5%, Saudi Arabia 15%, EU 19–25%, Australia 10% GST. | Your customs broker |
| Registration and permits | Vessel registration, plus an operating licence if you rent the craft out. | Your maritime authority |
| Rental set-up | Escort jet ski, trailer, permits and launch: USD 8,000–22,000 in our scenarios. | Our estimate |
Duty and tax rates come from public tariff aggregators and customs guides read in November 2026 and are not verified at line level: verify with a customs broker. The set-up range is our estimate. Delivery, duty and documents.

Questions buyers ask on WhatsApp
How much is a jet car?
USD 24,490, USD 26,990 or USD 28,990 for the craft without engine, depending on trim, and about USD 50,000 for a complete craft with engine, per the manufacturer's catalogue. Freight, duty and tax come on top. The trims are compared on the models page.
Why do jet car prices online differ so much?
Because the listings are not the same thing: factory prices before shipping and certification, complete craft sold locally through brokers, and used craft. Compare landed, complete prices only; the delivery page lists what landing adds.
How much does a used jet car cost?
The used listings we found in November 2026 were AED 60,000 (about USD 16,300) for one craft in Abu Dhabi and USD 33,000–65,000 in Florida. We sell new craft built to your specification. Depreciation is part of the numbers on the rental business page.
Does the jet car boat price include delivery and tax?
No. The list prices cover the craft itself. Freight is quoted per shipment, and import duty, VAT and registration are paid by the buyer in the destination country. Country notes are on the country pages.
