Rent a Car in Dubai — Daily, Weekly & Monthly Car Rental

Dubai rent a car options

You may already have a model in mind. If you don’t, start with who’s travelling and what you’ll be using the car for.

For an affordable everyday option, take a look at the Kia Pegas, Nissan Sunny or Toyota Yaris in our economy car selection. The MG 5 and Geely Emgrand are also worth a look if you’re comparing sedans for a longer stay. Open the listings to see the cars, prices and available rental periods.

Travelling with family? The Toyota Rush has seven seats, but the number of bags matters too. Seven passengers and everyone’s holiday luggage can be a very different fit from a few people heading out for the day. Tell us what you’re bringing so we can help you choose.

And if there’s something you particularly want, such as a reversing camera or a certain phone connection, mention it when you enquire. Equipment can differ between model years and trims, even when the cars share the same name.

Daily, Weekly & Monthly Car Rental Dubai Rates

Daily and weekly rentals

Perhaps you’re in Dubai for meetings, have visitors staying with you or need a car while yours is in the workshop. A daily rental gives you a car for the dates you need without committing to a longer booking.

For a week’s stay, have a look at the weekly offers as well. The price and included mileage can differ from booking several days individually. We can explain the available options once we know your collection and return dates.

Include the times when you send your enquiry. Picking up on Monday morning and returning on Tuesday evening means you need the car longer than a single day. Getting that detail right at the start helps us give you an accurate quote.

If your plans are still taking shape, let us know. We can explain how extensions work and what happens if you need to return earlier.

Monthly car rental for everyday life in Dubai

When you need a car for work, school runs and everything in between, a monthly rental can be a practical choice. It can also give you time to settle in if you’ve just moved to Dubai and aren’t ready to buy a car.

Our monthly rentals include 4,500 km, servicing and maintenance, along with free delivery and pickup across Dubai and Abu Dhabi. A replacement car is included during servicing or a mechanical breakdown.

Think about your usual week when choosing the car. Will you mostly be driving alone? Do you need room for children, colleagues or luggage? A car that suits a weekend visit may not be the one you want for a month of daily use.

Mileage deserves a little thought too. A short local commute leaves a different allowance for other trips than a long drive every working day. Tell us if you expect to cover a lot of distance, and we’ll explain the additional kilometre rate for the car you’re considering.

If you’d like to keep the car for another month, contact us before the current rental ends so we can discuss availability and the renewal price.

Dubai Car Rental Prices, VAT & Additional Fees

A useful quote gives you the full picture: the rental charge, applicable VAT, any delivery charge and the extras you’ve chosen. It should also make clear whether a refundable security deposit is required.

The rental price depends on the car, your dates and how long you need it. Delivery and optional extras can affect the total, so we’ll include the arrangements you’ve requested in the quote.

Some costs depend on how you use the car. Fuel, tolls, parking, fines and driving beyond the included mileage need to be considered separately from the rental price.

If you’re adding collision damage waiver, usually called CDW, we’ll explain the option available for your booking. The excess and exclusions matter as much as the price. Ask us about anything you’re unsure of before choosing the cover.

You can keep the quotation with your booking confirmation, so the agreed price and arrangements are easy to find later.

No Deposit Car Rental Dubai — Zero Deposit Waiver Options

If you’d prefer to rent without leaving a security deposit, we have no-deposit options on eligible rentals.

Eligible no-deposit rentals cost the normal rental rate plus a 15% no-deposit fee. For example, AED 1,500 per month becomes AED 1,725 before VAT. Prices on our no-deposit page already include this fee, which is charged only once.

The waiver removes the security-deposit requirement for the eligible rental. You’ll still need to pay for fuel, tolls, fines or extra mileage, and any optional CDW is separate.

You can compare the total with the usual deposit option and choose what works for you. If you leave a refundable deposit, keep the receipt and return terms with your agreement so you have the details available after the rental.

Al Garhoud Car Rental Pickup & Dubai Delivery

You can collect your car from our Al Garhoud branch or arrange a handover at your hotel, residence or another agreed location.

We serve areas across Dubai, including Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, Bur Dubai and Al Barsha. Send us the location and preferred time when you enquire, and we can include the arrangements in your booking.

For a hotel delivery, the property name and a map pin help us agree where to meet you. At an apartment or office, let us know about any access instructions and give us a number we can reach on the day.

Monthly rentals include delivery and pickup across Dubai and Abu Dhabi. For a shorter rental, we’ll confirm any delivery charge in your quote. We can discuss the return location at the same time, especially if you’ll be leaving from somewhere different.

Dubai Airport (DXB) Car Rental Delivery — Terminals 1, 2 & 3

If you’d like a car for your arrival, visit our Dubai Airport rental page and share your flight number, date and terminal with us.

Before you travel, agree the meeting point and keep the contact details on your phone. Allow some time after landing for immigration and baggage collection when arranging the handover.

The car needs to fit the airport journey as well as the rest of your stay. Let us know about large suitcases, a pushchair or a larger group when you choose the vehicle. It’s easier to settle that before you arrive with your bags.

If your flight details change, send us the update so we can review the collection arrangements. We can also discuss where and when you’ll return the car at the end of your visit.

Dubai Car Rental Requirements & Rental Terms

What to bring when you collect

The documents you need depend on whether you’re a UAE resident or visiting from overseas.

Residents generally need an Emirates ID and a valid UAE driving licence. Visitors should have their passport and driving licence available; an International Driving Permit may also be required, depending on eligibility.

Send us the relevant details ahead of the handover so we can confirm what you need for your booking. That includes anyone else who will be driving. Additional drivers need to be approved and included in the agreement.

If you’re unsure whether your licence is accepted, ask before paying for the booking.

Take a moment at the handover

When the car arrives, walk around it with the handover agent. Make sure any existing marks are recorded, along with the fuel level and mileage, and keep a copy of the condition record.

Take a few minutes to settle into the driver’s seat, adjust the mirrors and find the controls you’ll need. If you want help connecting your phone, the handover is a good time to ask.

Before you leave, make sure you have the rental support number and know the agreed return time and location. Having those details saved makes it easier to get in touch during your rental.

Help during your rental

If a warning light appears or you notice a problem with the car, contact the team promptly so we can advise you on the next step. Speak to us before arranging repairs yourself.

For a change of plans, get in touch before the agreed return time. We’ll need to confirm availability and the price before extending the rental. If you’re returning early, the refund position depends on your booking terms.

When you call or message, include your booking or agreement number. It helps us find the right rental without asking you to explain all the details again.

Returning the car

Arrange a return time that leaves you enough room for the handover, particularly if you have a flight to catch. Follow the fuel policy in your agreement and allow time for the condition and mileage review.

Before handing over the keys, have a look through the boot, glove compartment and charging points for anything you’ve left behind. Keep the return record with your agreement and payment receipts.

For questions about your deposit, send us the agreement number, vehicle return date and any existing enquiry reference. Those details help the team follow up on the correct rental.
