Are you planning to rent a car in Dubai but unsure what to look out for?
Here are some useful tips to keep in mind when renting a car in Dubai.
๐ Valid Driving License: Ensure you have a valid international driving license or a UAE-accepted driving permit.
๐ Traffic Rules: Familiarize yourself with local traffic laws and regulations. Speed limits are strictly enforced.
๐ Navigation Tools: Rent a car with a GPS system or use a reliable navigation app to help you navigate the city.
๐ Parking: Be aware of parking regulations and fees. Dubai has plenty of parking spaces, but some areas can be expensive.
๐ Car Selection: Choose a car that suits your needs. For longer trips or desert driving, consider a SUV. For city driving, a compact car might be more practical.
๐ Fuel Policy: Understand the rental companyโs fuel policy. Some require you to return the car with a full tank, while others operate on a โfull-to-emptyโ basis.
๐ Additional Drivers: If more than one person will be driving, register additional drivers with the rental company to ensure they are covered by insurance.
๐ Road Tolls: Be aware that Dubai has road tolls (Salik). Check if your rental car is equipped with a toll tag and how charges will be processed.
๐ Emergency Numbers: Keep emergency contact numbers handy, including the rental companyโs helpline.
๐ Inspect the Car: Before driving off, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure itโs documented to avoid disputes when returning the car.
๐ Child Safety Seats: If traveling with children, request child safety seats in advance as per UAE law requirements.
๐ Plan Ahead: Book your car rental in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons, to ensure availability and better rates.
