Zayed International handoverEach price here includes a charge for the handover at the airport.
Tolls and parking rules change from emirate to emirate across the UAE, so check them for each stop.
At the meeting point on your voucher. Have it open before you leave the plane.
It holds the company’s name, phone number and meeting point. Download it so you can open it without data.
Let the company know once you are through passport control and have your bags. Tell it early about any delay.
Look over the bodywork, wheels and fuel before you sign. Ask which return point and time the company expects.
Cars here carry a handover charge for the airport, already inside the total.
The services in the terminal, where to stop or park, and what to know on your first drive.
The car parks are open 24 hours, a two to five minute walk from the terminal.
The first 10 minutes are free. Pay by card at the barrier, or with cash or card at a machine.
Yes: none of the six cars above needs one, but each holds a deposit, so check how the company takes it.
The deposit is returned 30 days after the hire ends. Tolls and fines that arrive in that time are taken from it, with an admin cost.
Not carrying a credit card? Compare cars in the UAE that need no credit card and the way each takes payment.
For a lower hold, choose one of the cars with no deposit; they still carry an excess at their starting cover.
Downtown Dubai is 114.2 km away, about 1 h 30 min on clear roads. The capital’s sights are much closer.
Staying in Abu Dhabi? The Corniche time ends on Corniche Road at Al Khubeirah; hotels elsewhere in the city may take longer.
Al Maktoum Airport is 88.3 km away, about 1 h 15 min. Times leave out traffic, toll gates and the handover itself.
Adjust the seat, mirrors and sat nav while parked. Then join the motorway when you feel ready.
Limits are signed road by road, and some roads have a minimum speed too. A limit is a ceiling, not a target.
The driver and all passengers must belt up. Children under four need a child seat, so book one with the car.
Holding or using a phone while driving is an offence. Set the route before you pull away.
Drinking and driving is illegal in any amount, and it is likely to void your insurance after an accident.
Keep to paved public roads, even in an SUV. Dunes, sand tracks and unpaved shortcuts are banned for every rental car.
Darb gates sit on the bridges into Abu Dhabi city and charge at peak times. Paid parking bays have turquoise kerbs.
Gates read the number plate, so the bill goes to the company first. It passes tolls on to you, with an admin cost; Dubai’s Salik gates work the same way.
Yes, some cars picked up here can be dropped at Dubai International. Search with both airports to see the one-way total.
Pick the Dubai airport place as the return, not a hotel or a town address.
Ask the company where its staff meet you at Dubai before the return day.
If your flight moves, agree the new return with the company. A different return point is priced again.
From here to Dubai Airport is about 128 km; allow about 1 h 45 min, plus time for fuel and the check.
No rental car from here may cross into Oman or any other country, whatever its cover.
Every bar is a week-long rental with airport pickup and return, shown as a typical day. Your own dates may be higher or lower.
N/A shows a month with no airport price yet.
The handover charge is spread across each daily price. A night pickup or added cover can change the total.
You pay for at least 24 hours, and any extra part day counts as a whole one. Agree an extension before the hire runs out.
Larger cars are on offer here, but seats and boot space trade off. Check both before you choose.
Cars with seven or eight seats can be booked here. Ask how much luggage fits with every seat up.
Book child seats as extras with the car. Check the fitting at handover before the family drive.
Add any second driver to the booking. They must meet that car’s age and experience rules too.
Most cars here carry a daily kilometre limit. A Dubai round trip uses a lot of it, so check the extra charge.
Each car shows the level it starts with, its deposit and its excess. Read all three before you choose a car.
Basic on four cars. The MG 3, Corolla, MG ZS and ASX start with Basic, a deposit and an excess. Paid Plus takes both to zero.
No deposit on some cars. At the same airport, the Kia Sonet starts with Minimum cover and the Chevrolet Captiva with Basic. Neither takes a deposit, but both keep an excess.
Not in standard cover. Damage to the wheels, underside, windscreen or interior is excluded. Deliberate damage through vandalism or neglect voids the cover.
Report it at once. After an accident, tell the company and get a police report unless it agrees otherwise. If you do not, the cover is lost.
Between the cover levels, the deposit and the excess can change separately, so read both lines.
An International Driving Permit goes with your own licence. Both must still be valid on the day you return the car.
Bring the original licence and the permit; copies and phone images are refused at the handover.
Minimum age and years licensed differ from car to car. The company can refuse a driver who falls short.
From the UK, the permit you need for the UAE is the 1968 type.
The return check takes time. Build it into the drive back to Zayed International.
Need an extra day? Agree it with the company before the booked return.
Changing the car or dates means cancelling and making a new booking.
Give seven days’ notice for most cars, or thirty for luxury cars and convertibles. The short-notice option cuts it to 24 hours.
Send support your voucher with the request. The refund, minus a 6% fee, arrives within fourteen days; late cancelling loses the advance.
Yes, on the cars offered here. It covers bringing the car to the airport and is already in the price you see.
Yes. Downtown Dubai is about 1 h 30 min away on clear roads. Watch the daily kilometre limit if you plan to come back the same day.
Nearly all of them are. Still check the gearbox shown on the car you pick before you book.
No. Gates read the plate and bill the company, which passes the cost on to you after the hire, usually through the deposit.
A small pet can, if it stays in a travel carrier for the whole trip.
Add your arrival time, choose a car and check the full car hire total, the deposit and the cover before you book.
