Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Abu Dhabi?
The daily price of car rentals in Abu Dhabi within the past seven days was as low as $18. With your own affordable ride, the attractions in and around this place are well within your reach.
Can I rent a car from Abu Dhabi Intl. Airport (AUH)?
Avis and Budget are just a short drive from Abu Dhabi Intl. Airport (AUH). After landing, it won't be long before you're on the road.
What happens if I need to cancel my Abu Dhabi car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours ahead of the scheduled collection time, most prepaid rentals qualify for a complete refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to familiarize yourself with the cancellation policy. Check your confirmation for the specifics or go to our Customer Service Portal to find out more.

There's lots on offer in Abu Dhabi, but venture farther afield and you'll find even more magic. Organize a set of wheels and you can cruise around the surrounding region at your leisure. Add these fantastic drives to your to-do list:

  • You'll find Al Ain Zoo and lots more interesting sights in Al Ain. From Abu Dhabi, it's roughly 85 miles away.
  • About 90 miles away, Sharjah is also a favorite with travelers. Make sure you get to Khor Fakkan Beach while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love coming to this buzzing city.
  • Spend time in the great outdoors and breathe in some fresh air at Khor Fakkan Beach. It's approximately 140 miles from Abu Dhabi.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Abu Dhabi with Expedia?
Scoring the best deal on your Abu Dhabi rental car is a piece of cake with Expedia. Choose your preferred ride, add some details and compare the offers across big-name suppliers. Why not add flights and hotels to your booking? You'll score terrific discounts when you create a vacation package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Abu Dhabi?
Drivers aged 21 and over can get on the road in Abu Dhabi in a rental car. If you're a young motorist, a daily surcharge applies. You'll usually be restricted to a few car categories, such as economy and compact, and may also have to take out an all-inclusive insurance rate. Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any extra fees or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Abu Dhabi?
Generally, all that's required is a current driver's license and a credit card in the same name when picking up the car. You may also need proof of coverage if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance policy. These requirements may differ between rental outlets, so it's a good idea to check the terms and conditions.
What side of the road do you drive on in Abu Dhabi?
In Abu Dhabi and around United Arab Emirates, people drive on the right-hand side of the road. While this is the same as in the States, you'll need to be mindful of any different traffic rules.
What is the cheapest car rental in Abu Dhabi?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the most affordable daily rate was $18. The next best price to rent a ride in Abu Dhabi was $22 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Abu Dhabi?
Yes. Expedia partners with quality suppliers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for many car categories. Check out our long-term car rental deals and explore every nook and cranny of Abu Dhabi — or far beyond!
Where can I find an Abu Dhabi car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Abu Dhabi, we recommend checking the terms and conditions of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra costs if you're aged between 21 and 24. To escape any unwanted surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Abu Dhabi?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a smart choice for your upcoming Abu Dhabi vacation. That's why we recommend purchasing collision protection while organizing your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
Can I drive in Abu Dhabi with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in United Arab Emirates, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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: Make sure you read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental car.
