Dubai Airport handoverEvery class here is priced for a handover at the airport itself. Almost every car is an automatic, which suits stop-start traffic on the city’s wide roads.
The company named on your voucher hands over the car at the meeting point printed there.
The company’s name, its phone number and the place to meet are all on your voucher. Save a copy offline before you board.
Send your flight number and terminal to the company. If you land late, message it as soon as you can.
Walk round the car, note any marks and check the fuel level before you sign. Ask how the return works.
The booking is for Dubai International as a whole, not for one terminal. Your voucher shows where to meet.
Some cars include a handover charge for the airport in their price; others have none. The total you see already includes it.
Money and phones in the terminals, the car parks and kerb rules, and tips for your first kilometres.
Each terminal has its own car parks. Premium is the short walk; Economy costs less and is further away.
Pay with the QR code on your ticket or at a pay station. Salik can also take the fee as you leave.
None of the six cars above asks for a credit card, and three have no deposit. Check how the balance is paid on the car you pick.
You pay 15 to 20% of the rental when you book, and the rest to the company at handover. Each car lists the ways it takes that balance.
Want to skip the card entirely? Cars that need no credit card show their payment rules up front.
A deposit comes back 30 days after the return, less any tolls or fines; to avoid one altogether, choose from the cars with no deposit.
Dubai Marina is 34.9 km from the airport, about 35 minutes on clear roads. Peak-hour traffic is not included.
Heading into Dubai itself? Deira is 7.8 km from the airport, about 15 minutes. The Sharjah time ends at Al Majaz Waterfront.
Ras Al Khaimah is 91.6 km away, about 1 h 15 min. Dubai’s other airport, Al Maktoum, is 64.5 km away, about 55 minutes.
The Zayed Grand Mosque is in Abu Dhabi. A return trip there is over 280 km, so check the car’s daily kilometre allowance first.
Get to know the car while it is still parked, then pull out when you are ready.
On highways the left lanes are only for overtaking. Keep at least three seconds behind the car in front.
Limits are set road by road and change on some streets. Follow the posted sign, and watch for a minimum speed.
The driver and every passenger must wear a seat belt. Using a phone while driving is an offence.
Police are on 999 and ambulance on 998. After any damage, call the company and ask for a police report.
Paved public roads only: dunes and desert tracks are off limits in every car, whatever its size or cover.
Dubai’s toll gates have no booths. Each pass is read automatically and billed to the car’s owner.
The company pays the Salik charges and claims them back from you, with an admin cost, often from the deposit. In Abu Dhabi, Darb gates take the place of Salik. Fuel, parking and fines are yours to pay too.
On some cars, pickup here and return at Zayed International in Abu Dhabi both work. Enter both airports when you search to see the full one-way total.
Set the pickup at Dubai and the return at Zayed International before you compare prices.
Get the return meeting point from the company before the day you fly out.
A new return place or time needs the company’s approval and a fresh price.
The drive to Abu Dhabi Airport is about 128 km; allow about 1 h 45 min on a clear road before you hand back the car.
A rental from Dubai Airport cannot cross any border. For a trip to Oman, book a separate car on that side.
Every bar stands for a week-long rental picked up and dropped at the airport, as a typical daily figure. It is a guide, not a fixed rate.
N/A means no airport price exists yet for that month.
Prices include any airport handover charge. A different pickup time, extra or cover level can change the total.
The shortest hire is 24 hours, and any extra part of a day costs a full day. Ask the company before the end if you want longer.
Before you pay, check the seat count, the luggage space and who will drive. A long flight is no time to find a car too small.
Seven- and eight-seat cars are on offer here. With every seat in use, the boot can be small, so check your bags fit.
Add child seats as extras when you book. Ask the company to fit them, then test each one yourself.
Anyone else driving goes on the booking before pickup, and each must meet that car’s age and licence rules.
Many cars carry a daily kilometre limit. Count trips to other emirates before choosing; the extra-kilometre charge shows on the car.
Cover starts at a different level on each car. Read the deposit and the excess together, as they are separate amounts.
Basic with no deposit. The Pegas, and the Seltos and Captiva also offered here, start with Basic cover and no deposit, but each still has an excess if the car is damaged.
Minimum on two cars. The Kia Sonet and Hyundai i10 start by covering only damage to others. Their paid upgrade adds damage cover but still leaves an excess.
Plus on the MG 3. The MG 3 starts with Basic, a deposit and an excess. Paying for Plus brings both down to nothing.
Gaps in standard cover. Wheels, the underside, the windscreen and the interior are not covered. Deliberate damage or neglect voids the cover.
A car hire excess still applies on the no-deposit cars above, so no deposit does not mean no excess.
Every driver needs their own national licence plus an International Driving Permit, each valid until at least the return date. Copies and digital licences are refused.
The rental rules ask for an International Driving Permit alongside your licence, so get one before you travel.
Minimum age and years behind the wheel vary by car, even between similar models, and a driver who falls short can be refused.
UK drivers need the 1968 type of International Driving Permit for the UAE.
Leave time for the check and the fuel before check-in. Return the car where your voucher says.
Want the car for longer? Ask the company before the booked return time.
There is no edit button: a new car or new dates means a fresh booking.
Ordinary cars need a week’s notice, and luxury cars and convertibles need 30 days. The short-notice option cuts it to 24 hours.
Email support with your voucher. The advance comes back within fourteen days, less 6%. A late cancellation or a missed pickup loses it.
Yes. Pickup is booked for the airport, not a terminal. Tell the company you land at Terminal 3 and follow the meeting point on your voucher.
Yes, three of the six cars above have no deposit. They still have an excess, and tolls and fines remain yours to pay.
Yes, cars can be collected in the small hours. Some may add an out-of-hours charge, which shows when you search your real times.
Yes. Tolls are not in the rental price. The company pays each gate and recovers the cost from you after the hire, with an admin fee.
No. All rental cars must stay on paved public roads. Book a desert trip with a tour company instead.
Enter your flight times, pick a car and see the full car rental price, the deposit and the cover first.
