Renting a Car in Dubai - Dubai Car Rentals

As of January 2007, car renters need to have an International Driving Permit (IDP, often referred to as an international driving license) in addition to their home country license to be allowed to rent a car. IDP and country driving license must be from the same country. Previously, citizens of some countries only needed their home country license. See the International driving license in Dubai page. If you don't have your IDP, you might still be able to obtain a temporary Dubai driving license.

Monthly car rentals for a relatively new, good condition small car are about 1500-2000 dhs per month. It's possible to save a couple of hundred dhs on that with smaller less well-known companies but check the car carefully - is more likely to be older and shabbier. Many expats new to Dubai will rent a car for the first month or more. It can be a sensible choice (and might be the only choice until you get your residence visa and Dubai driving licence) while you familiarise yourself with the road network and driving styles in Dubai.

Daily car rentals will be more like 70-120 dhs per day for a small car (usually you can negotiate something less than the quoted price). Check whether that includes unlimited mileage, off-road driving (for 4wd), full insurance including liability insurance, CDW, other drivers, and so on - all the usual stuff. Remember that in Dubai, if someone dies in an accident that you're involved in, you will be liable for 'blood money' of AED 150,000-200,000 dhs if it's decided that you're at fault. You should be insured for that (at least with the more reputable car rental agencies). If you drink (alcohol limit is zero) and drive, and have an accident, you will not be insured. See the driving in Dubai page for more about being on the road.

• Unlimited mileage update: since 2008 or 2009, rental car companies in UAE have been introducing mileage limits or caps, most commonly on monthly and longer term rentals since they are more likely to be used by residents for commuting, especially between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. For tourists and visitors, it should still be possible to find an unlimited mileage short term rental but make sure you double check before signing up.

Comparison of monthly prices for car rental in Dubai (one month = 28 days)

Notes

• [Check] All cars have airconditioning and automatic transmission (A/T). Manual (M/T) is rare in the UAE, especially for hire cars. If a rental car company has no A/C in the specifications for a UAE car, it is more likely to be an error than a car without A/C. Urban legend in the UAE since the late 1990s is that A/C is a legal requirement for all new cars (possibly correct, not confirmed).
• Most companies require renter to be minimum 25 years old (Europcar 21 yrs) and have licence for minimum 1 year (sometimes 6 months).
• Most companies have mileage limits for monthly rentals (3k-5k per month), or pay extra for unlimited mileage. Europcar unlimited?
• Insurance excess usually AED 750-1,500. Means if you get blamed for accident by police, or someone damages your parked car and disappears ("Hit and Run"), or you hit something (tree, pole, curb, etc), then you are liable for that amount. Can be waived by payment of additional charge of AED 20-50 per day or AED 150-350 per month. Remember to ask because that figure can make a substantial difference to monthly payment if included.
• Most or all companies do not permit driving outside the UAE, but some companies allow an extension for driving in Oman for an additional charge (if doing a visa run to Hatta check with car firm, there is a different route which avoids some Omani checkpoints, but of course you risk complete liability if anything happens to the car while in Omani territory).
• The larger rental car chains (Avis, Budget, Hertz, National, etc) are owned by a local agent, which is commonly a large conglomerate which also owns the agency for one or more car brands. As a result you'll find that the car rental brand usually stocks cars of the same make as the car brand owned by the franchise holder. For example Al Tayer Group sells Ford vehicles and owns the National Rentacar franchise in the UAE, so National rental cars are all Fords. Similarly for Al Futtaim Group which has Toyota and Hertz in its portfolio, so Hertz UAE almost always rents Toyotas.

Website aggregators - most are more expensive than direct from car rental firm. One exception is sites using the Car Trawler booking engine seem to offer the best deals, sometimes cheaper than direct from company.

• cartrawler.com - rental car bookings not available from site directly but choose one of their partners to find available rates (Home >> Our Partners). For example www.viamichelin.com. Cheaper than other car rental booking engines we found. Some example rates (DXB Airport T1 selected as location - rates might be cheaper if not airport location selected):
  • Mitsubishi Lancer (Economy) AED 1,696 monthly (from Dollar, 5 doors, or AED 1,672 for 3 doors).
  • Toyota Yaris (Economy) AED 1,672 monthly (from Dollar).
  • Chevrolet Aveo (Economy) AED 1,868 monthly (from Avis).
  • Ford Figo (Economy) AED 1,899 monthly (from Thrifty).
  • Kia Picanto (Economy) AED 1,904 monthly (from Europcar).
  • Ford Figo (Economy) AED 1,953 monthly (from Alamo).
  • Toyota Yaris (Economy) AED 2,030 monthly (from Avis).
  • Chevrolet Spark (Mini) AED 2,055 monthly (from Budget - much cheaper than direct, but still more expensive than most other places).
  • Ford Focus (Compact) AED 2,192 monthly (Alamo).
  • Nissan Tiida (Compact) AED 2,240 monthly (Thrifty).
  • Nissan Tiida (Compact) AED 2,230 or 2,260 monthly (Dollar).
  • Hyundai Accent (Compact) AED 2,250 monthly (Europcar).
• rentalcars.com (worldwide car rental website aggregator for Budget, Dollar, Europcar, Firefly, Hertz, National, Thrifty), all results seem to include free basic CDW with excess of AED750 to AED2,500 (or more for higher class cars) but an additional AED22.95 per day (AED688.50 - most companies only charge additional AED150-200 per month if booking direct) payable for Damage Excess Refund. All results higher prices than contacting car rental company directly except for Budget. Website says "Lowest Prices Guaranteed" and "On the rare occasion that we are unable to beat a valid Price Watch claim we’ll offer you a guaranteed 10% discount off the web price of your next car rental", which is not helpful for customers renting once, and still wouldn't make their price cheaper in most cases anyway.

Car hire excess insurance cover

Normally car rental in UAE and other countries includes CDW - Collision Damage Waiver, which means you have insurance in the event of an accident except for an insurance excess which you have to pay yourself if you are responsible, or there is damage to the car for which a third party cannot be blamed (an unknown car or person scratches it in a car park for example).

• In the UAE this excess is commonly from AED750 to AED1,500.
• Overseas it can be anything from US$250 to US$2500.
• You can reduce this excess to a lower figure, or to zero, by paying an additional excess insurance charge or fee. If directly from the rental car firm then it is likely to be AED20-AED50 per day, or AED 150-500 per month for most smaller cars (more for larger or luxury cars).
• Alternatively you can purchase car hire excess insurance from a specialist insurance company for about AED 300-400 per annum for multiple trip cover. Easily done online, either for a fixed period, or an annual scheme for multiple car hires. For daily cover it might not be much cheaper than direct through car rental company - most polices are AED10-25 per day. Watch for the following:
  • Country of residence: Most schemes only allow a restricted list, or the same as the country in which the insurance scheme is based eg UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, etc. Some allow all residents of European countries. Very few allow customers from anywhere (or almost anywhere). We found only two.
  • Long term rentals: Most allow a fixed rental period, or an annual multiple rental option but with a 31 day limit per rental. Some have a 62 day limit. The fine print definition of car rental agreement usually says cover is for car hire on a daily or weekly basis only, implying that monthly car hire or lease agreements are not covered.
  • Country of car hire: Most schemes have a choice of Europe, Worldwide excluding North America, Worldwide including North America, or a variation on a theme. All schemes exclude several countries seen as high risk for example Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Somalia. Check the insurer for exact list, they vary, and change as current events make countries higher or lower risk for travelers.
  • Off-road driving is excluded - that could mean hitting a rock or tree branch when taking a short cut over some sand is not covered.
  • Note that these policies do not mean you don't pay the excess if there is a bill from the car rental company, you do, and then claim it back from the car hire excess insurance company.
• For UAE residents there are only a couple of realistic options (and none that we found if doing monthly car rental in the UAE):
  • www.worldwideinsure.com - the Deluxe annual option covers you for car rental close to your normal residence. The Standard option, and most other companies we checked, do not cover you for car rental close to home (commonly given as within 150km of your normal residence in the terms and conditions). Both the Standard and Deluxe option allow policyholders to be resident in the UAE. Duration of car hire limited to 31 days for annual option, and only for car hire on a daily or weekly basis, not monthly.
    • [Check small print] WWI insurance covers non-tarmac roads - gravel etc? Other companies don't?
  • www.iapa.com - International Airline Passengers Association. Not an insurance company, a club for frequent flyers (well actually for anyone who wants to sign up and pay membership fees). Amongst the benefits included is a car excess insurance scheme. No country of residence restriction as far as we could see, however car rentals close to home (within 150km) are not included in the cover (or anywhere in the home country for residents of Canada, USA, Caribbean). Car rental agreements must be a maximum of 31 days.
• Other possibilities if you have a residential address outside the UAE.
  • www.icarhireinsurance.com - for EEA (European Economic Area - not the same as the EU) residents only if renting worldwide, for residents anywhere if renting and driving in the EEA area. Includes campervan cover in the annual option (most policies don't, or charge high daily fees without an annual option). Additional drivers included without needing to specify them, if named on the rental agreement (most policies require additional drivers to be named on insurance policy). "Monthly" rentals excluded from policy terms, only "Daily" or "Weekly" rentals.
  • www.questor-insurance.co.uk - only for UK and some European country residents.

In the USA and Canada, CDW is not normally included in car hire, you must pay for it as an additional extra - compulsory unless you can show evidence of already having purchased CDW elsewhere.
