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.

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".

Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE
We rented a car online through the website, without a deposit, which was crucial for us, as we have no opportunity to provide a foreign credit card to block the funds on it for a deposit. The car was brought directly to the airport, which is very convenient. We were given a higher class than it was stated - thank you for that! There were no problems with the car, at the speed of 120 it automatically triggered a signal that you need to slow down in order to avoid a fine. Gave the car back also at the airport, even without meeting the driver. Asked to take a video of the car and put the key on the left front wheel. Thank you for your trust and such convenient conditions, we will definitely apply again!
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
I recently rented a car from TakeCars.com in Sharjah and was very pleased with my experience. The booking process was easy and convenient: I was able to select the model I wanted through the website and specify the date and time of the rental. I also ordered delivery of the car to the hotel through the website. At the appointed time it was brought without delay. The car was in excellent condition, clean and ready to go. I rented a Nissan Kicks and it handled the roads perfectly. I especially liked that the company provided all the necessary documents and insurance, which added confidence during the trip. Returning the vehicle went as smoothly as receiving it. There were no hidden fees, we arrived at the hotel at the appointed time and picked up the car. I was very satisfied with the services of TakeCars.com and will gladly use their services again. I recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable car rental!

Nissan Patrol in the UAE
Great company, great service! Work with a variety of payment solutions The cost is very reasonable. Picked up a Nissan Patrol in May 2025 with delivery and drop off in Ras Al Khaimah. The car is in excellent condition. Representatives and managers are polite, everything is on time and on schedule. Recommended!
Kia Picanto in the UAE
The rental staff is very friendly! The car is not new, but it's good! The rental office is conveniently located, not far from the subway. The deposit was returned on time
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
Toyota Rush in the UAE
It was not the first time I rented a car in the UAE. This time I chose this rental office as it was located closer to where we were staying. Also we were met by Russian-speaking staff, offered a higher class car without extra payment. The car is fresh everything worked properly. The only thing that did not like that after receiving the car we were informed that we would have to pay for washing, in the UAE you can not wash the car for months, there is no rain. Otherwise everything is good, I will contact again.
Kia Pegas in the UAE
thanks very good
