it was a pleasure to rent a car at LocalCarHires.

Geely Coolray in the UAE
Everything was good, except for one moment with giving the car, there is no parking in front of the office, which is surprising and we wrote several times that we would bring the car in the morning, we then had a flight, we were told that we would be met, in the end closed doors, the phone to which no one answers, and we to the airport Thank God the manager picked up the phone.

Everything was great. Good rental company in oahu. Everything is honest and transparent
Nissan Kicks in the UAE
We were satisfied with the ordering service, the payment and the car. The car was in excellent condition, practically new 2024. It was convenient that the rental was deposit-free and we could pay for everything with a Russian card.

Mazda 6 in the UAE
It's okay!
MG ZS in the UAE
Everything is good, but the car was brought not the one I ordered, not Mg Motor Zs, some Chinese balalaika like Solaris, the car was dirty inside, smelled something and the covers are some soiled red color.
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 used the Take Cars service. Unfortunately the first chosen car was not confirmed, but the service quickly found an alternative, even on more favorable terms. I received and handed over the car at Almaktum airport, we managed to agree without extra fees. And what is important, I did not leave any deposit for the car itself, which is very rare. I am completely satisfied with the service.
Chevrolet Aveo in the UAE
Everything went well. The only thing was that we had a long meeting with the car delivery driver. As we would have liked him to meet us in the arrival area, but in the end he met us at the fifth exit of the departure area, which is not very convenient at a large airport. The landlord charged 100 dirhams for washing the car, which will be deducted from the deposit. I am waiting for the deposit to be returned. And so the car is quite working, although a little battered by life, but for this money for the UAE it is a sin to complain

Frequently Asked Questions — Car Rental in the UAE
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
