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 licence 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.
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.
