Car rental in the UAE is a very popular service. The roads in this country are simply wonderful, gasoline is cheap, and many rental companies will help you find a car that fully meets your needs.
You can rent a car immediately upon arrival at the airport or later at the office of a company that provides such services. Sometimes you can rent a car without leaving your hotel.
The selection of rental cars is simply amazing. Here you can see the brands of almost all well-known world manufacturers: from inexpensive Nissan Tiida, the rental of which will cost from 3,500 rubles a week, to the magnificent Ferrari Italia and Lamborghini Gallardo.
Required documents
To rent a car you will need an international license. Ordinary rights with the name and surname duplicated in English are not accepted here, passport and credit card. The latter is necessary, since it is customary in the country to block the guarantee amount on the card in case of unforeseen situations.
The rental price includes:
- standard insurance, similar to the hull insurance in Russia;
- fully filled tank.
When concluding a car rental agreement, you will need to sign a diagram showing all the damage it has on it, as well as the volume of gasoline in the tank. Be more careful and make sure that all existing defects are indicated.
The driver must be 21 years of age or older to rent a car. To rent a car of a more expensive class (starting with G), the driver must be over 25 years old at that moment. Driving experience for at least a year.

Insurance
Car rental in the UAE is almost impossible without insurance. There are two insurance options in the country: CDW and PAI.
Choosing the CDW option, in the event of an accident, you are exempted from paying compensation to the injured party. PAI is a personal insurance option.
Insurance rates are always written in separate lines, but they are certainly included in the rental price. You have no right to refuse. Large rental companies simply won't give you a car without buying a full insurance option.
Private firms are more loyal to this issue, so you can simply pay a small amount and get CDW insurance.
Pricing
The following pattern can be traced here: the longer the car rental period, the cheaper this service is. Private firms provide many different discounts. For example, if the car is far from new - a discount, if you take the car for more than a week - again a discount. When renting a car for a month, the discount can be up to 50%.
