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 6 in the UAE

Excellent service for finding cars in the UAE. And the best car rental company for residents of the Russian Federation. In connection with the absence of visa cards and the need to leave an impressive deposit, renting a car abroad has become an event not simple. This company has solved all issues in favor of the renter. It is the only one on the rental market that gives a car without a deposit, while keeping the rental price at a competitive level. I rented a Mazda 6 for 10 days for 1200 aed. The car is in good technical condition. Getting and returning the car was easy. I have not found a better offer and I have never regretted that I used the service of this company

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.

Nissan Sunny in the UAE

I monitored various sites, and chose this one because other aggregators do not accept Russian cards. The price here was a little more expensive, but there was no deposit. The car was delivered to the airport as I had ordered. Upon arrival we called and met at once. The car is new, the mileage was 6,5 thousand kilometers. The engine felt quite weak, but it is economical and the trunk is big. When returning the renter was half an hour late, so I advise you to return with time to spare. I also advise you to change money into dirhams before getting the car, so that the necessary amount was without change. I recommend Localcarhires and this rental company.

Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE

In the end we rented a Toyota Corolla, in general the condition is not bad, but a lot of scratches on the outside and inside stains on the upholstery (we fixed everything ourselves and in the documents). Receipt was in BC, no signage, barely found with the help of an employee! I suggest to add a sign on the internal window in the common hall and to specify details in the message in e-mail. To surrender the car it was necessary to park it somewhere near the BC, wait for 15 minutes and put a signature on the tablet of the receiving employee: everything is in order. In general, everything was satisfactory, the car was well-equipped (I requested cruise control and it was there, they also connected a smartphone to the stereo), price-quality, we rented the car with hull insurance, no deposit.

Hyundai i10 in the UAE

The rental was excellent. The car was delivered clean, fully operational, surprisingly the gas tank was not empty, as often happens. Support is always on the phone, also the cost of rent was not overpriced with additional services. I will definitely rent a car from you again as soon as I come to the UAE
