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.

Fujairah: Seek out tranquility on its serene beaches and scenic mountain trails.

Ford Mustang GT Cabrio in the UAE

I’d say the experience was a bit painful as they’ve provided the other car instead and we’re waiting for it for more than 2 hours. But we understood that that was due to the driver got collision on the way to the meeting point, hence, they had to assign another car. Also, the documents were provided at time of the car return, which was a reason we’ve been a bit nervous during the day if we’re protected at all and the rent agencies services are legal. Finally, we’ve been told that the deposit will be returned in 21 working days which is kind of non sense for us - from our experience it come back in 14 calendar days as a maximum.

Renault Megane Sedan in the UAE

Everything went fine. The car was in good condition, the manager explained everything about the UAE. The only thing that was bothersome was the traffic with rather impudent driving habits, even in Thailand it seemed easier to me).

Honda HR-V in the UAE

Everything went fine. But for some reason it was not written on the website, exactly on the cars we rented, that we would have to pay separately for toll roads, or we did not notice. After 3 weeks the bill for one car came for toll roads. And for the second one still no 🤷🏼‍♀️. Didn't get the point of how it happened. But everything was fine, thank you

Renault Megane Sedan in the UAE

The rental car went very well. They met us at the airport, showed us the car and helped us get settled. Of the minuses, the manager forgot to give us the key and had to run to the airport building to get it, and he did not tell us how much airport parking was paid and we had to pay extra for it later. Our rent a car we were very satisfied with. The manager answered our questions about driving the car. At the end of renting, I was contacted by WhatsApp one day in advance to clarify whether all plans are in force. I rented the car at the agreed place near the airport, then we were driven to the airport. I was very pleased with the rental and have already recommended your service to my friends to rent a car.

Mitsubishi Xpander in the UAE

Have rented a 🚙 car in UAE. I looked at several other offers before contacting Take care. I did not regret the choice. Friendly, professional team. In addition, they were very pleasantly surprised when instead of the booked Mitsubishi they provided a new Volkswagen Teramont. Very convenient: pickup and drop-off at the airport. Warm things rested in the trunk for 10 days. Well, the car gives freedom. Beautiful and clear roads, service and wonderful team of Take Cars. Thank you!
