Renting
a car in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is a handy way to see the city
and the area around it. You'll need to bring certain papers to make sure
that renting a car goes smoothly and without any problems. Even though
each rental company has its own rules, here are the most common papers
you'll need to rent a car in Dubai:
Valid Driving Licence:
A valid driving licence from your home country or an International
Driving License (IDL) if your home country's licence is not accepted in
the UAE. Make sure the licence is still good for the kind of car you
want to rent.
Passport: You need a legal
passport to prove who you are and that you are who you say you are.
Make sure your card hasn't expired and will still be good for the whole
time you're renting.
Valid Visa: If you
are a tourist and want to rent a car, you will need a valid tourist
visa. People who live in the UAE should show their UAE residency card.
Credit Card:
Most rental companies need a credit card in the name of the main driver
for protection and to pay for the car. The credit card should have
enough money on it to cover the fee and any other costs.
Age:
Usually, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent a car in the UAE.
Some hires of luxury or high-end cars may have a higher minimum age.
Security Deposit:
When you rent a car, you usually have to put down a security fee. This
amount is held on your credit card and will be returned after 25 days
when you return the car.
Additional Driver Information: If you plan to have more than one driver, you may also need to show their driver's licences and other forms of identification.
Booking Confirmation: If you made a plan online or over the phone, having your booking confirmation with you can speed up the rental process.
Printed Copy: Having
printed copies of your driver's licence, passport, and other needed
documents isn't always necessary, but it can be helpful if there are any
problems.
It's important to find out what the
car rental company you choose needs from you, as some may have extra
papers or rules. To avoid any shocks, you should check with the rental
company well before your rental date to make sure you have all the
necessary paperwork. If you have the right paperwork, you'll be able to
visit Dubai's famous sites and enjoy your time in this busy city.
