Car Hire FAQs

What are the requirements to hire a car in Dubai?

If you hire a car in Dubai, then you need to be 21 years of age. However, some vehicles, such as luxury car hire in Dubai or passenger van hire, require you to be older. To get hire cars in Dubai, you will need a valid driver’s licence that’s at least one year old. You will need to have an up-to-date passport too. When it comes to paying for your cheap car hire in Dubai, you will need to use a valid credit card that is in the main driver’s name.

What are the rules for driving in Dubai?

For your car hire in Dubai, seatbelts are a requirement in the front and back, and children under four years of age must also be in a suitable child restraint.

What type of car is recommended for driving in Dubai?

Dubai is an impressive city with many great sites to visit. So, whether you want an economy car hire or something more fancy, there will be something for everyone. If you’re staying in the city, it might be best to get a smaller car, such as a Suzuki Swift. This will be easier to park and better for nipping around Dubai. However, if you’re going into the desert, then a Nissan Kicks SUV might be a good option, as it can handle the terrain better. Car hire in Dubai is very popular, so, no matter the type of vehicle you’re after, you’ll have a great range to pick from.
