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.

Renault Megane Sedan in the UAE

Everything went great! The auto was replaced with a newer one. The delivery was on time. The driver was a little delayed when returning the car, but not critical.

Toyota C-HR in the UAE

I am sharing my impressions and experience about renting a car in the Arab emirates in the summer of 24. I ordered a car on the website, made a prepayment in rubles through the website. At the appointed time drove up to the company office, got the keys to the car. Beautiful car, practically new, in excellent technical condition. There are no questions to the car, drove it for two weeks, handed over the car also without any problems. The only problem I had was a letter demanding to pay for toll roads, which came two months after returning to Moscow. And here was a serious enough problem, because it was not difficult to pay the debt on the spot, I had cash with me, the card "Gazprombank" worked, but when I came to Moscow to pay 5000 rubles by bank transfer to the account that was specified, it turned out to be a big problem. I, of course, coped with it, but next time it would be more convenient to immediately check the debt for this service and take it on the spot. And in general everything is good.

Chevrolet Aveo in the UAE

Everything went well. The only thing was that we had a long meeting with the car delivery driver. As we would have liked him to meet us in the arrival area, but in the end he met us at the fifth exit of the departure area, which is not very convenient at a large airport. The landlord charged 100 dirhams for washing the car, which will be deducted from the deposit. I am waiting for the deposit to be returned. And so the car is quite working, although a little battered by life, but for this money for the UAE it is a sin to complain

Nissan Kicks in the UAE

Great car rental service! Recently rented a Nissan Kicks car and was very satisfied! The car was almost new in good condition, clean and fueled. The paperwork took minimum time - Farook manager drove the car to the hotel, helped to inspect the car, fixed all the damage on the body, explained everything clearly and without unnecessary questions. Prices are adequate, without hidden commissions. I took out full insurance just in case. For 10 days of rent no problems with the car. I did not break any traffic rules, did not drive on toll roads. The return of the car also went without any problems. On the day of return, Farook manager called, arranged a place near the airport, washed the car before the return, checked the car, no new damage was found, then we were taken to the airport. Farook is the best, provides high level of service👍 If you need a reliable car rental with honest terms, I recommend this company! Will definitely apply again.

Nissan Sunny in the UAE

I rented Nissan Sanni for 6 days in Sharjah, from 07.11.2023 to 13.11.2023 I paid about 3000 rubles deposit while I was in Russia, using a bank card of payment system Mir. The payment went without problems. I paid the rest in cash when receiving the car. The car was fresh, clean. In general, at 10.00 the car was brought to the hotel, which was very convenient. I also rented it near the hotel. I never regretted that I took the car in this rental organization. The service was top-notch. Any question can be discussed by vatsap. Thank you.
