Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Dubai?
Low-priced car rentals started at $17 per day in Dubai, based on prices within the past seven days. With rates like this, we make it easy to grab some keys and take off for less.
Can I rent a car from Dubai Intl. Airport (DXB)?
You certainly can. Once you've touched down at Dubai Intl. Airport (DXB), you'll find the rental car center located in Terminal 1. Choose from Budget, Dollar or Sixt. Hertz and Diamond Lease are other suppliers worth looking at.
What happens if I need to cancel my Dubai car reservation?
We've got good news! You should get a total refund if you notify us more than six hours ahead of the scheduled pickup time. Your itinerary contains information about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all reservations result in a refund though, so you may want to go over your rental agreement.
Where can I go on a road trip from Dubai?
There's lots on offer in Dubai, but head farther afield and you'll find even more magic. Book a set of wheels and you can discover the surrounding area at your own pace. Add these awesome destinations to your list:

  • Make your way to Abu Dhabi for an excellent sightseeing experience. Roughly 80 miles from Dubai, it has loads of amazing sights like Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.
  • Your next stop? Consider Ras Al Khaimah, which is around 55 miles away. Shimal is one local highlight you really shouldn't miss.
  • Get out into the outdoors and inhale the fresh air at Sir Bani Yas Island Beach. You'll find it approximately 180 miles from Dubai.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Dubai with Expedia?
Score an amazing deal with Expedia. Just choose your preferred car type, select your dates and preferred pickup and drop-off locations, and browse offers from all the major providers. Make even bigger savings when you combine your Dubai car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Dubai?
Rental vehicle rules in Dubai require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a young driver? Some restrictions and surcharges could apply. Rental companies impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions often apply to the classes of cars available to young people as well. Age limits may vary between outlets, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Dubai?
Renting a car in Dubai is a breeze. Normally, all that's required is your driver's license and a credit card. After choosing the perfect set of wheels, read the terms and conditions to ensure there are no extra requirements prior to pickup.
What side of the road do you drive on in Dubai?
About two-thirds of countries across the world drive on the right-hand side, and United Arab Emirates is one of them. If you rent a vehicle in Dubai, make sure you drive to local conditions for a safe journey.
What is the cheapest car rental in Dubai?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the most affordable daily rate was $17. The next best price to rent a ride in Dubai was $20 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 Dubai?
Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then reserve your perfect ride. Whether you're staying in Dubai or plan to journey beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an awesome rate.
Where can I find a Dubai car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so be prepared to do a little homework. Found a Dubai outlet that does rent to under 25s? That's great! Just take note that a surcharge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering will have all the information you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Dubai?
Add collision damage protection while reserving your Dubai rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle against collision damage, theft and vandalism throughout your road trip. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and round-the-clock emergency help, you can drive away knowing you'll be covered if the unexpected occurs. Simply opt in to this insurance while making your booking.
Can I drive in Dubai with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in United Arab Emirates, then it's likely you'll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements 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, it may 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 rules and regulations before driving away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
