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.

Mazda 3 in the UAE

It was my first experience with renting a car, I was very worried at first, but everything went well, no problems. The only thing is that at the end I was billed for washing the car, but 2 hours before handing over the car, I washed it and there was proof, but it was quickly sorted out and everything was fine. I am planning another trip to Dubai in March and renting a car again, I think I will turn to you. Thank you

Toyota Rush in the UAE

I rented a car in Dubai from a company where all the guys speak Russian. I liked the fact that I didn't need to leave any deposits. Payment in rubles over the phone and it is very adequate. The car was waiting for us at the airport and all the registration took no more than 3 minutes. We didn't give the car back at all, we just left it at the airport parking lot and sent the photo of the car and parking place by phone. Everything is very fast and very convenient. I recommend this company to everyone. The guys are very specific and problem free.
