Tips for renting a car in Abu Dhabi

Before you rent

Car rental insurance can be tricky to navigate and often isn't what you expect, by booking with us direct you'll receive the correct insurance for your rental.

When you collect your vehicle
Plan ahead. We recommend planning your route before you leave, especially when renting a car at an airport. Are you sure where you're meeting your chaperone or where the rental desk is? Your confirmation email will have the contact information for the location, so we suggest saving the number in your phone ahead of time.

Have the correct documents ready. We try and keep the check in process as painless as possible but we do need to process certain information for legal reasons so having these ready ahead of time can help speed up the process. Make sure you have your booking details ready, along with your driving licence, passport and valid credit card.

Complete a vehicle check. It's essential when you are taken to your car you complete a Vehicle Condition Report (VCR) and note any existing damage, paying particular attention to the five damage hotspots. If you don't report this, you may be liable for these damages when you return the vehicle. We don't want you to get caught out, so we've put together a handy vehicle inspection video to help you check everything thoroughly.

While you rent
Take care. Unfortunately you may be liable for any damage caused to a vehicle in your care, and this will vary depending on the product you choose. A large proportion of damages to any car can be dings you pick up in car parks, so be mindful when space is limited and park further away and walk a little further to your destination.

When you return your vehicle
Complete a vehicle check. It's time to carry out a VCR again and even more essential to fully log any damage, no matter how small, to ensure you are fully covered and we can process your return effectively. Be sure to check the vehicle as before, paying special attention to the five damage hotspots.

Good to know about car hire in Dubai

 

Once you have landed at Zayed International Airport and picked up your rental car from the designated office, we wish you a safe and enjoyable journey.

For those navigating the UAE’s roads for the first time, take a moment to get acquainted with the vehicle, understand local traffic regulations, and plan your routes. The road network in Abu Dhabi is modern, well-maintained, and clearly signposted, making driving a convenient and efficient way to explore the city and its surroundings.

In the UAE, driving is on the right-hand side. A valid driving license from your home country is required, and depending on your country of origin, you may also need an International Driving Permit (IDP). Ensure your rental car is equipped with required safety items, such as a reflective safety vest, warning triangle, and a fire extinguisher.

Abu Dhabi is relatively straightforward to drive in, with wide roads and well-organized traffic systems. However, be cautious during peak hours as traffic can get heavy, especially on main roads and near business districts.

The speed limits in Abu Dhabi are: 60-80 km/h in urban areas, 100-120 km/h on highways. Always adhere to posted limits, as speed cameras are widely used, and penalties for traffic violations are strict.

Fuel stations are abundant within the city and along major highways, and most accept credit cards. If you plan to drive to more remote areas, such as the Liwa Desert or Al Ain, it’s advisable to monitor your fuel level and plan stops ahead.

When visiting Abu Dhabi’s city center or popular attractions like the Corniche or Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, parking is available but can be limited during peak hours. Look for public parking areas or utilize parking apps like Mawaqif for convenience. Many hotels and malls also offer valet parking services.

Be mindful of pedestrian zones near tourist attractions and shopping areas, where vehicle access may be restricted.

If you need assistance while in the UAE, please contact our office. In case of emergencies, dial 999 for the police, 998 for ambulance services, or 997 for fire services.
