When visiting a new city often times it’s difficult to navigate the urban landscape without a rented vehicle and in some places, renting a car or hiring a taxi can be cumbersome. To ease your journey, we have complied a list of vehicle rental options in Dubai to make your stay as pleasurable as possible.
Dubai offers a variety of options for visitors to rent a vehicle. Here is a handy list of all you need to know for your next trip to the city:
What is Rent a Car?
Renting a car is a service that allows individuals to hire a vehicle for a specified period, providing the freedom to travel independently and explore various destinations at their own pace. This option is particularly popular among tourists and business travelers, particularly in places like Dubai, where attractions are spread out. Renting a car becomes an ideal solution in such situations.
How to Rent a Car?
In Dubai, this service is widely available and is designed to cater to diversified needs, from economical options to luxury vehicles.
There are many vehicle rental companies available in the city and each offer a variety of options that are designed for different needs. Visitors can choose a service when landing in Dubai and this can be done at the airport or through online bookings, however we advise booking a service in advance for a hassle-free trip, especially during peak tourist seasons.
What are the Requirements to Rent a Car in Dubai?
If you are looking to just rent a vehicle without the pickup/drop-off service, there are some requirements.
- Age: You must be at least 21 years old, however, some rental companies require the minimum age of 25 years. You should always check with the company first by speaking to their representative or checking their website or app.
- Another thing to check before renting is that most rental agreements do not allow taking their vehicles out of UAE borders without prior approval, if you are planning a road trip to another neighboring country.
What are the Government Rules?
A valid driving license is a must-have to drive a rented vehicle in Dubai. Certain countries’ licenses are accepted without an International Driving Permit (IDP), including those from the UK, USA, Canada, and several European countries. Abide by the traffic rules as well as ensure that the vehicle is insured.
