A rental car is the easiest way to see Dubai — from the Marina and Palm Jumeirah to Downtown, the desert and the drive to Abu Dhabi. As a tourist you can self-drive on a licence from most countries (GCC countries and the 25 on the UAE's accepted list, including the USA, UK, Canada, Australia and Japan) with your passport — some nationalities also need an International Driving Permit. Not sure? Send a photo of your licence on WhatsApp and we confirm in minutes, free.
We deliver to DXB & DWC airports and any hotel, handle the paperwork at handover, and every car carries comprehensive insurance. Rates are in AED with no hidden fees; weekly and monthly plans suit longer holidays and remote-work stays.
