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.

Nissan X-Terra in the UAE

I liked everything. The rental service itself is very convenient, you can put filters and customize the car to your request - this is a huge plus. Also the prices through TakeCars are lower than doing it directly through the rental company. Convenient way to pay and book a car with a Russian card. Quick confirmation. The rental company itself and the car is in good order, no comments. We received exactly the car that was on the photo and in the description, without substitutions. The only thing is that we made a little mistake with the car, we should have taken something more mobile and dynamic

Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE

In the end we rented a Toyota Corolla, in general the condition is not bad, but a lot of scratches on the outside and inside stains on the upholstery (we fixed everything ourselves and in the documents). Receipt was in BC, no signage, barely found with the help of an employee! I suggest to add a sign on the internal window in the common hall and to specify details in the message in e-mail. To surrender the car it was necessary to park it somewhere near the BC, wait for 15 minutes and put a signature on the tablet of the receiving employee: everything is in order. In general, everything was satisfactory, the car was well-equipped (I requested cruise control and it was there, they also connected a smartphone to the stereo), price-quality, we rented the car with hull insurance, no deposit.

Nissan Altima in the UAE

Booked the car in March 2024. Received the car at Sharjah airport at the end of the trip and handed it back at the airport. The car is in very good condition, the transfer was quick. We traveled 6 emirates in 10 days. Everything is perfect. Returned as agreed with a full tank of gasoline and clean (went to the car wash). The only point, the deposit was returned 2.5 months. Otherwise everything was OK, the company was always in touch.

Hyundai Accent in the UAE

in principle normal everything went well, but did not meet at the airport in the terminal, drove an hour changed drivers phone in I thought I would not get the car, then the delivery was carried out in an underground parking lot in the dark, well videotaped, did not note the scratch and wanted to hang it on me, but I showed the video and all questions dropped, the only thing I took without a deposit, but now sent payment of saliki

Audi Q3 in the UAE

Everything is great with the car - fresh, minimal mileage, clean, delivered/picked up on time. The only roughnesses - a lot of contact persons, not always gave correct information. For example, the mileage on the website indicated 250km/day, when the car was delivered they assured that 150/day, then in fact in the contract it turned out to be 250/day. Or, for example, when returning the car - I had to talk to 3 people in sequence until they gave me the number of the driver who took the car. In general, this is not a problem, but rather a point that can be paid attention to
