Question 6

What do you need to rent a car in Academic City?

Generally, all that's required is a driver's license and credit card in your name when picking up your car.

These requirements often differ between rental providers, so it's always wise to check in advance.

Question 7

What side of the road do you drive on in Academic City?

Where can I find an Academic City car rental if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

Question 11

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Academic City?

Accepted Answer

It's a wise idea to have collision damage protection to safeguard your Academic City car rental against theft, accident damage and vandalism.

Covering primary physical damage of up to $35,000, it also offers 24-hour emergency support and no deductible if you need to make a claim. Plans changed? If you cancel your policy before your scheduled collection time, you'll receive a full refund.

Question 12

Can I drive in Academic City with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't have a driver's license issued in United Arab Emirates, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note for international car rentals are:

Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of cars you can rent.
Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before driving away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
