Renting a car in the UAE: your gateway to freedom

Renting a car in the UAE gives you unmatched freedom to explore: no more waiting on public transport or sticking to fixed-schedule group tours. To rent a car, you'll need an International Driving Permit (IDP), your national driver's license, a credit card, and your passport.

Driving in the Emirates is a pleasure, with its well-maintained roads, affordable fuel, and breathtaking scenery. From the awe-inspiring Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Abu Dhabi to the bustling Dubai Mall and the sparkling gold souks, there's a wealth of sights to see. Don't miss unique spots like Dubai's Garden of Wonders, all within easy reach by car.

With our 24/7 roadside assistance, help is always just a call away for any inquiries you might have. Additionally, enjoy the flexibility of free cancellations up to seven days before your trip and take advantage of promotional discounts like "LOCAL".

Where to rent a car in the UAE

If you're setting out in your rented car in the UAE, consider visiting these world-renowned tourist destinations:

Dubai: Beyond the famed Dubai Mall, ascend the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, and dive into the city's vibrant nightlife.
Abu Dhabi: Revel in the architectural marvel of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque and explore the myriad attractions of Yas Island.
Sharjah: Discover the cultural heritage in Sharjah's museums and traditional markets.
Fujairah: Seek out tranquility on its serene beaches and scenic mountain trails.

Pick-up and return your rental car at convenient locations like the airport. Just present your voucher, MVU, and passport, inspect the car for any existing damage, and sign the rental agreement. Returning the car is straightforward — just ensure it's on time and refueled according to the company's policy.

GAC GN 8 in the UAE

Everything was fine. Only the driver didn't show up for the change and didn't warn me about it. I wrote and called him. The company did not give me any instructions on what to do in this case.

Mercedes-Benz GLC300 in the UAE

I liked everything, everything was done quickly, the car was very good. The only thing is that we received the deposit only after 1.5 months. The money arrived 3 times and the bank commission took 200 dirhams.

Hyundai Accent in the UAE

Everything went perfectly! The car was delivered to and subsequently picked up from Dubai airport. The car is practically new, in perfect condition. We made a ten-day trip with the whole family around all seven emirates. It turned out to be very comfortable and economical. The main thing is that the prepayment was made in Russian rubles and the subsequent payment for the rental in cash without any deposits. I will definitely use the service for further travels. I have already recommended your company to friends and acquaintances.

Mitsubishi Xpander in the UAE

Everything was fine. If it wasn't for the fine, which could have been easily avoided. Your colleagues told me about the speed limit, but they didn't tell me about the phone! It's a shame I didn't use my phone. It was like a navigator! I ended up with a fine. Put a phone holder and a list of fines in your cars! In the end both customers and you will have less problems and more positive feedback. Other than that, the rest of the car and the pickup and return is SUPER.

Hyundai i10 in the UAE

The rental was excellent. The car was delivered clean, fully operational, surprisingly the gas tank was not empty, as often happens. Support is always on the phone, also the cost of rent was not overpriced with additional services. I will definitely rent a car from you again as soon as I come to the UAE
