Renting a car in Dubai is not a luxury, but a logical solution for comfortable movement around a city with a developed road network. But can the rent really cost only 50 dirhams per day? Let’s look at this issue based on facts, conditions, and actual offers on the market.
What is included in the rental price starting from 50 AED per day?
At first glance, the offer seems too good to be true. However, renting a car for 50 dirhams per day is quite realistic, especially for long-term rentals (from a week and above), as well as when choosing economy class cars. As a rule, models like Kia Picanto, Renault Symbol or Nissan Sunny are available at this price, especially if you are renting monthly with an average price of 750 AED per month.
Rental terms without deposit
Most renters are looking for car rental without a deposit to avoid blocking funds. Many services in Dubai offer rent without collateral, but at the same time charge an additional daily risk fund – this is a small amount that is added to the daily rent (about 5-10 AED), but in the absence of fines and damages, there will be no additional payments.
Renting a car without a deposit is beneficial for short periods (up to a week), but when renting for a month, it is often more profitable to choose the option with a deposit. It is refunded if there are no outstanding debts. According to the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, rental companies are required to refund the security deposit within 30 days after the vehicle is returned, provided there are no additional charges or violations.
What documents are needed?
To rent a car in Dubai, you will need:
- A foreign passport
- Driver’s license
- International law (if yours is not in English/Arabic)
The minimum age is 21 years, but sports cars and luxury models require at least 25 years. For more detailed information on the required documents, you can refer to this guide.
Additional costs and pitfalls
Some services offer low rental prices, but are not included in the price:
- Full insurance (Super CDW)
- Salik (transportation tax)
- Fuel (full tank required upon return)
- Paid parking in Downtown and Marina areas
In addition, fines for speeding, traffic violations, or drunk driving (fines up to 25,000 AED and imprisonment) may be accrued with a delay of up to 25 days after the end of the lease.
