Rent a Car in Dubai

Car Rental Dubai: Daily, Weekly and Monthly Options

A weekend in Dubai, a daily commute or a longer stay each calls for a different rental plan. Start with your dates, the people travelling with you and the journeys you expect to make. Then compare cars and the complete cost for your trip.

Choose a rental period that fits your plans

Explore daily rentals for short visits, weekly rentals for a holiday, and monthly rentals for regular travel. Staying for several months? Compare the total commitment and early-return terms of a longer car lease. Use the same dates and mileage needs when comparing quotations.

Choose your car around passengers and luggage

• City trips: a compact hatchback is worth considering when easy parking and a smaller vehicle are priorities.
• Everyday travel: compare sedans for your commute, passenger comfort and boot space.
• Family trips: explore SUV options and check luggage room with every required seat in use.

Tell us how many suitcases you have and whether you need a child seat or an additional driver. Check availability and any extra charge before booking. Prefer to be driven? Ask about our car rental with driver service for your itinerary.

Understand the full cost before you book

Ask for a written quotation that makes these points clear:

• Rental price: the total for your dates and whether VAT is included.
• Mileage: the included allowance and the charge for each extra kilometre.
• Insurance: the included cover, excess and exclusions, plus the cost of any optional cover.
• Payment: accepted payment methods and any deposit or card authorisation. Check eligibility for no-deposit options.
• Other charges: delivery or collection, fuel, tolls, parking, fines and any administration fees, plus extension and late-return terms.

Have the right details ready

Share your pickup and return dates and times, both locations, passenger count and luggage needs. Before payment, ask the team to confirm the driving-licence and document requirements for your residency status. Keep your booking reference, agreed vehicle details and written quotation together so you can check them at handover.

Arriving at Dubai Airport?

For a Dubai Airport rental handover, share your flight number, terminal and arrival time. Confirm the exact Costa Coffee meeting point and the agent’s contact details before travelling. Complete the agreed paperwork and payment ahead of handover, and let the team know if your flight changes. Arrange your return location and time separately from your arrival.

A simple checklist for collection and return

When you collect the car

1. Walk around the vehicle with the agent and check that existing marks are recorded on the inspection report.
2. Take clear photographs and check the recorded mileage and fuel level.
3. Familiarise yourself with the air conditioning, lights and controls. Ask about anything you do not understand.
4. Keep a copy of the signed rental agreement, inspection report and support contact details.

If your plans change during the rental

Contact the team before your agreed return time if you need an extension, and get the new dates and charges confirmed. For a vehicle issue, provide your booking reference, registration, location and a clear description. Relevant photographs can help the team assess what assistance is needed.

Before you return the car

Check the agreed return time, location and fuel requirement. Remove your belongings and personal information from the car’s connected devices. Record the condition, mileage and fuel level at return, and request a return confirmation. Keep your final statement so you can review any later toll, parking or other charges against your agreement.
