Star Picks: Trinity Rental’s Owner Reveals What Cars Celebrities Choose in Dubai

Lando Norris in a kids’ car and a Brazilian footballer at the wheel of a six-wheeled monster. Aleksandr Matiashov, owner of Dubai’s luxury car rental Trinity Rental and various other enterprises, has shared what his famous clients pick from the fleet.

Trinity Rental has long been a go-to spot for global A-listers. Hollywood actor and two-time Oscar winner Adrien Brody and Maye Musk, mother of Elon Musk, have both used its services more than once. But Matiashov had the most to say about guests from the world of sport.

“Fame turns out to be a rather relative thing,” Matiashov said in a recent interview. Lando Norris stopped by during the Formula 1 weekend in the UAE. He naturally took an interest in the McLaren lineup, but what really won him over was a children’s replica of the legendary Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. “It just proves that inside every man there is a child,” Matiashov laughs.

Still, some would say the most popular guest was Brazil international Andreas Pereira. He went for the Brabus 6×6, a six-wheeled off-roader Matiashov calls “a monster of a car.”

Do stars get special treatment? “Everyone gets special treatment at Trinity Rental: the cars, the guests, the clients, the staff,” the owner says.
