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 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.

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.

Hyundai Kona in the UAE

Overall everything went great and I was satisfied. The car is good, in good condition. It was a different brand, but of the same class, so it was not critical. The only thing that confused me was that they did not give me any documents for the car. They promised to send it on WhatsApp, but I drove for 2 weeks without documents). At the end of the rental there was a strange situation. It was Sunday morning, I came to hand over the car, but the office was closed, the phones were disconnected, although the day before, on Saturday, we contacted and confirmed the completion of the lease. I ended up leaving the car at the office with the keys in the cabin, a video report was sent to the contact numbers. Otherwise no problems and I was satisfied with both price and quality! Will definitely contact you in the future! Thank you!

Chevrolet Spark in the UAE

I wouldn’t like to speak negatively, but there’s no other way. Firstly, the car was not the one I rented, secondly, the car was very dirty, and thirdly, they did not return the deposit despite the fact that it had already been a month. I’m very unhappy and I think I’m not the first person.

The car was provided as described. My flight was delayed, so we had to agree on another time, so there were no problems. I took photos and video in the airport parking lot and left the keys in the car. So far everything is fine.

Nissan Altima in the UAE

Very pleased with everything. I easily booked a car for the dates through the app. Without knowing the language at all, they gave me a car with two documents. Nice people. They didn't take any deposits. The car was clean, new, almost like in the picture. They explained how to pay for paid parking. I drove it from Dubai to Abu Dhabi. Handed the car back at the end. No fines or extra money was charged. Everyone was very nice, I can recommend them!

Everything went as well as it always does. They brought the car to the hotel, handed it over. We enjoyed the trip in a new car. We left it in the hotel parking lot, keys at reception and that was it.
