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.

The Company does not provide an invoice. The executing company did not hand out the car without cash payment although credit card payment was mentioned by LocalCarHires.

Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE

Overall all good. The company made an upgrade to a Renault Megane, new, 3000km mileage. The car is good, except for the box kicking. I also used toll roads, they have not sent me a bill for them yet, which is strange.

MG 3 in the UAE

Everything went well! A very nice bonus was that the employee who gave out the car was Russian-speaking. The car is good, with min mileage. For city driving it is quite suitable

Nissan Altima in the UAE

Great car, very roomy, holds the road perfectly on the highway, easy to drive in the city. The rental process is very comfortable - the guys bring the car to the airport right to the arrival, quickly sign the papers and drive off. Return also without waiting, at the designated time. The deposit was returned as they said - exactly in 10 days, in full on the Russian card. In general I recommend, next time I will definitely take a car here - the choice of car options is very decent.

Mazda CX-5 in the UAE

It's not that it's bad at all, but... The car I ordered was not available, although I ordered in advance. I was offered another option and under different conditions (mileage limit per day), and then there were moments...

Nissan Sunny in the UAE

Everything went well. The car was delivered an hour early, no complaints, all the paperwork was done electronically, and the existing damage had already been noted there. We could pay in cash, but also managed to pay with Gazprombank Union Pay card. We did not arrive on time to pick up the car, knowing about it I suggested leaving the keys at the hotel reception, it was fine with everyone

Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE

We rented a car for 4 days. We booked the cheapest option Mitsubishi Attrage, with car delivery and full insurance. The car was in good condition delivered on time. There is a flaw in communication we were contacted on the day of booking only asked for paperwork and on the day of delivery. It was unclear if everything was in order and if the car would be there. Before returning if the car is dirty it needs to be washed. Washing takes a lot of time, it takes 2-3 hours. All the damage to the car was fixed in a questionnaire and sent to the post office. Payment of toll roads(salik) not immediately, they then send a link to pay. If you do not have a foreign card, it is problematic to pay in cash. They say to leave as much as you think necessary, and how much you have traveled is not clear at all. In general, the experience is positive, I liked everything.

Hyundai Elantra in the UAE

I really liked the service! Interaction prompt, car clean, nice, comfortable. Beautiful In one piece, no damage. Thank you for the upgrade! I will recommend to my friends The only thing is that there are some difficulties with connecting bluetooth devices. I had to wait a very long time for the function to become active. That is, you go to the menu, nothing works. Unlocked in about 30 minutes. And so twice, if you need to connect a new device.
