Frequently Asked Questions — Car Rental Dubai
Do I need an international licence for Dubai?
Yes, absolutely. An international driving permit is mandatory to rent and drive in Dubai if you are not a UAE resident. You must obtain it in your home country before departure.
How do Salik tolls work?
Salik tolls are fully automatic (orange gantries). No stopping — the camera reads your plate. Each pass costs 4 AED (~€1). Charges are added to your rental invoice, often with a handling fee (5-10 AED/day).
Which vehicle for the desert?
For the desert, a proper 4x4 is essential: Toyota Land Cruiser, Nissan Patrol, or Prado. Avoid urban SUVs (RAV4, X-Trail) which are not suited to dunes. Deflate tyres before entering the sand.
Can I rent a Ferrari or Lamborghini in Dubai?
Yes, Dubai is THE destination for supercar rentals. Expect €300-1,000/day depending on the model. Requirements: international licence, minimum age typically 25, high deposit (€5,000-15,000). Roads are excellent and ideal.
Is it easy to drive in Dubai?
Yes, very easy. Excellent roads, signage in Arabic and English, right-hand traffic as in France. Note: speed strictly enforced (cameras everywhere), heavy traffic at rush hour, locals sometimes drive aggressively.
What insurance should I take?
Basic insurance is mandatory and included. Super CDW is strongly recommended (high excess otherwise). Check if your bank card covers the Emirates. Important: specific desert insurance is required for dune driving.
