Car rental in Dubai

 Car rental in Dubai

The indisputable pluses include driving pleasure, because traffic in the United Arab Emirates, and in particular in Dubai, is more than well organized. Wherever you need, there are signs, signs, traffic lights and convenient interchanges. And driving on high-speed broadband roads is a real pleasure!

A small car with air conditioning and an automatic transmission can be rented at a price of $25 per day, and a full-fledged SUV for $50 per day. Moreover, regardless of the class, cars in the UAE are rented quite new (usually they are a couple of years old at most) and with an automatic transmission.

Cheap gas is a nice bonus. For this reason, many tourists rent large SUVs. You can see much more by car than by public transport, taxi or sightseeing bus.

Driver Requirements

The minimum age of the driver must be 25 years and the minimum driving period 1 year. There are no gender requirements, so both men and women can rent a car.

DUE TO SANCTIONS BOOKING.COM, AGODA AND OTHER FOREIGN SITES LEFT

Now you have to use only Russian hotel bases to book accommodation. We use the Hoteluk service, which searches for rooms in all hotels available around the world , and also helps to find the best price by comparing the cost in different booking systems. The benefit sometimes reaches 1-2 thousand rubles per day.

Required documents for renting a car in the UAE

Here is a list of documents required by local distributors:

• the passport;
• international driver's license complete with Russian license (mandatory, otherwise a fine);
• personalized credit card for making a deposit.

The name on the card must match the name on the passport and driver's license. It is important to note that you need a credit card with embossed letters, and debit or cash are not accepted by rental offices.

Funds on the card are frozen for up to 30 days. The fact is that fines for driving violations are charged by the local police within 3-4 weeks, so car rental companies are in no hurry to remove the blocking from the deposit.

Receipt and return of the car

You can pick up or drop off a car anywhere in the city. To do this, you just need to present a voucher (if you booked a rental online), a passport and an international driver's license with rights. Employees offer to fill out a vehicle inspection scheme, where it is necessary to note all dents and scratches. It is also advisable to shoot the car on video or at least take a photo. The whole process usually takes 15-20 minutes.

Before returning, it is worth washing the car and filling the tank with gasoline. Returning a car takes even less time than receiving it.

How much does it cost to rent a car in Dubai

The cost of rent depends primarily on where to rent a car. There are two main options - local distributors and international chains. I will describe in more detail the pros and cons of each of them.

Rent from local car rental companies

I always look for local distributors through the service , which lists offers from reliable Dubai companies. A middle-class car will cost them $30-40 per day, and the more days you book, the cheaper it is.

Of course, there are always cheaper options and vice versa more expensive.

Pros and cons:

(+) Only 15% is paid on the site, the rest is on the spot, i.е. no need to risk the entire amount at once if the trip suddenly fails (in the current uncertainty, this is especially true).
(+) And even this small amount is fully refundable if the cancellation is made more than 24 hours in advance, i.e. without any penalties, you can cancel the rental in just a day.
(+) The amount of the deposit is much lower than that of international rentals ~$300 against $850.
(+) Accordingly, the size of the insurance deductible is also lower, because it is equal to the amount of the deposit; that is, in the event of an accident, we risk losing a maximum of $ 300.
(+)A specific car is booked, which you see in the photo, while international offices often offer to book a car class.
(+) All rental companies are carefully checked and selected by the team .
(+) There is Russian-speaking support via whatsapp, telegram, etc. messengers.
(-) A small selection of cars, because fleets of small companies are much smaller than those of international giants.
(-) For the reason above, cars are quickly dismantled, therefore it is better to book in advance.

Booking takes place in a couple of clicks: you just choose a car, the options you need, read the conditions and pay a symbolic amount as a confirmation of the reservation.

I would recommend rolls royce dawn hire. This is an awesome luxury car. The prices are very reasonable and anyone can afford it. It is best to see the sights by car, as you have freedom of movement and you do not need to walk.
