KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Dubai

  • Excited to hit the road after landing in Dubai? Fortunately for visitors looking to rent a vehicle, hire car centers are located in the lobbies of all three terminals of Dubai International Airport. So, no matter if you are landing in Terminal 1, 2, or 3, you can quickly pick up a car and be out of the airport in no time.
  • When driving on the highways, drivers should keep their eyes open for the United Arab Emirates’ somewhat unique road hazards, including camels and goats. Similar to deer and other wildlife in the United States, goats and camels will often wander onto the more remote roads in the UAE. They are not daily visitors, but they do make frequent appearances, so it pays to be cautious especially on empty roads.
  • Driving is very popular in Dubai and, unfortunately, that means rush hour can be quite severe. The typical morning rush hour goes from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and in the evening from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Along with the standard Monday through Friday rush hour traffic, Sundays are also included on the list of rush hour traffic days as many commuters are returning to the city for work.
  • An advantage to renting a car while you are in Dubai is that you are no longer stuck in the city. The United Arab Emirates has plenty to offer aside from Dubai and with a car it is as simple as a quick drive to reach neighboring emirates such as Sharjah and Abu Dhabi, where you will find the King Faisal Mosque and Saadiyat Island, respectively.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Dubai for AED 82 or less
  • Book your rental car in Dubai at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy rental cars in Dubai are around 43% cheaper than other car types, on average

Dubai car rental experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travelers who rented a car in Dubai 
NajiOct 2023
Driving in Dubai is a breeze; just watch out for the exits and obey traffic laws to the letter (no turn on red, don't go over the speed limit, etc.). Google maps is good but sometimes it can be a bit frustrating. Study your route well before heading out; a wrong exit could end up adding an extra 10 or 15 minutes to your drive.
Verified travelerOct 2023
Be clear about deposit and insurance before you book. Take a video of the car especially lower part before you receive the car.

The staff couldnt care less about our situation and Mangosh even told me that ‘this is the Emirates, we are different, we dont offer the services you are asking for’. The team was deceitful and rude. I reported this branch to consumer protection services. If you dont want to die, avoid renting. I’ve contacted my credit card company to dispute payment to them. Kayak should not promote them.
