Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE

We rented a car. The service is great. We were delivered to the airport. We upgraded the class of car free of charge - we got a new Toyota Camry with mileage of only 19 thousand kilometers. I recommend this service and Akil.

Nissan X-Terra in the UAE

The car was picked up and handed over late at night, we were kept, and when handed over, not even inspected, just asked to park send a photo and give the keys to the guard. Conveniently no deposit, the car is very comfortable. The attitude to the client is good. We have looked through a lot of offers before and in my opinion they offer the best conditions!!!!. If I come again, I will definitely turn to them.

Toyota C-HR in the UAE

I am completely satisfied with the rental car! Everything went well. We arrived on time, the representative of the rental company called us immediately after the plane landed at Sharjah airport. He came to pick us up quickly - as soon as we got our luggage. In about 10-15 minutes the paperwork was done and we were off. The car was clean and in excellent condition. There were no problems with the return either. At the agreed time the representative arrived, inspected and took the car. Everything is clear and smooth. Thank you very much!

Nissan Kicks in the UAE

Everything was great. The car was clean, cozy. We drove it around the UAE, went from Dubai to Fujairah, visited a mosque. And in general I had a great time with my wife, also thanks to the availability of the car.

Mitsubishi Attrage in the UAE

Wonderful service! It is very convenient to book a car through the site (everything is described in such detail that I did not even have to contact the support with leading questions, I managed on my own). In general, the site is intuitive, filters are all there and work very adequately, very liked the system of reviews of rental companies (you can choose a responsible organization). Prices are pleasant and do not scare off, there is even a system of promo codes, which you can search the Internet and rent will be a little cheaper. The biggest plus for me is the possibility to rent a car without a deposit/credit card, as well as the possibility to prepay it with a Russian bank card. Everything went without any problems, we wrote to the rental company in Whatsapp a couple of days before the arrival, they gave the number of the manager who will issue the car at the airport (we also communicated with him on Whatsapp). They met me normally, took the car, noted the damage, etc., all in electronic form, all the documents were also sent to email and whatsapp. I handed over the car as easily as I took it - not a single problem, everything is convenient and without unnecessary movements! In general, I liked the service very much - I will use it again!

Frequently Asked Questions — Car Rental in the UAE

Restrictions
Is insurance included in the rental price?

Yes. Third-Party Liability (TPL) — which covers damage you cause to other vehicles and people — is included in the price on every car. On most cars in our UAE catalogue, Super Collision Damage Waiver (SCDW) is also free. A large share of the fleet additionally includes Full Damage Waiver (FDW — zero excess), Theft Protection (TP) and Personal Accident (PA). The exact coverage for a given car is listed on the car card.

Can I get zero-excess (Full Damage Waiver) insurance?

Yes. Full Damage Waiver (FDW) with zero excess is available for free on a large share of our UAE catalogue — filter by 'FDW included' or look for the 'Zero excess' mark on the car card. Combined with Theft Protection, Personal Accident and the No-Deposit option (also free on a portion of the fleet), this is the most protected option we offer in the UAE.

How much is the security deposit?

From around AED 700 for economy cars, up to AED 2,500–10,000 for premium and supercars. A share of our UAE catalogue is available without any deposit at all — look for the 'No Deposit' badge on the car card. The exact amount is always shown on each car card before booking.

What is the minimum age to rent a car in the UAE?

21 years old with at least 1 year of driving experience for economy and mid-size cars. For premium and supercars — 25+ with 3+ years of experience. No young-driver surcharge applies on our UAE catalogue.

What documents do I need to rent a car in the UAE?

For tourists: a passport with a valid UAE entry stamp or visa, a national driving licence and, in most cases, an International Driving Permit (IDP). For UAE residents: Emirates ID plus a UAE driving licence. Please bring originals — photos on a phone are not accepted at pickup.

Do I need an International Driving Permit (IDP) in the UAE?

For most tourists — yes. The UAE recognises national licences directly from about 40 countries, including the UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, all EU states, Japan, South Korea and all GCC countries — if you're from one of them, the national licence alone is enough. Otherwise bring both your IDP and your national licence.

What are the cheapest, typical and top car rental prices in the UAE?

Entry-level economy cars in our UAE catalogue start from around AED 29/day (typically Nissan Sunny, Mitsubishi Attrage, Hyundai i10). The typical rate across the whole catalogue is around AED 140/day. Premium SUVs and sedans sit at AED 450–900/day, and supercars start from around AED 2,500/day. Weekly and monthly rentals usually come with better daily rates.

Can I take a rental car from the UAE to Oman or Saudi Arabia?

Not at the moment. Cross-border travel to Oman and Saudi Arabia is currently unavailable on our UAE catalogue — it requires a special No Objection Certificate (NOC) and an extended insurance policy. If the route is important for your trip, please contact our support team before booking and we'll check whether an individual arrangement is possible.

Can I rent a car in the UAE without a credit card?

Yes. Our UAE catalogue includes cars that accept cash, a debit card or a credit card for the deposit, plus cars that require no deposit at all. Use the 'Payment method' filter in search, or open the 'Deposit' block on a car card to see which methods that specific car accepts. Note: most providers require a physical card for the deposit block — Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay typically cannot be used for the deposit, only for the online booking fee.

How are traffic fines handled on a rental car in the UAE?

Traffic fines in the UAE are registered against the car's number plate, so the rental company receives them first and then passes the charge on to you, together with a small administrative fee (typically AED 50–100). Fines can take 2–4 weeks to appear after your rental ends, so keep your payment card valid for that period.
