Rent a car 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.
