2. Valid Driving License:

   • UAE residents need a valid UAE driving license.
   • Tourists and visitors can use an international driving license, provided it's accompanied by a valid driving license from their home country.
   • Some countries' licenses are accepted without the need for an international license (e.g., UK, US, EU, GCC countries), but it's always best to confirm with the rental company.

3. Passport and Visa:

   • You’ll need to present a valid passport and a visa stamp showing your entry into the UAE.
   • UAE residents must show their Emirates ID.

4. Credit Card:

   • A valid credit card in the renter's name is usually required for the security deposit.
   • Some companies may accept a debit card, but it’s less common.

5. Insurance:

   • Basic insurance is usually included, but you may want to opt for additional coverage like collision damage waiver (CDW) or personal accident insurance (PAI).

6. Additional Fees:

   • Be aware of additional fees such as fuel charges, Salik (toll) charges, and possible mileage limits. Some rental companies may also charge for additional drivers.

7. Rental Agreement:

   • You will need to sign a rental agreement outlining the terms and conditions, including insurance coverage, mileage limits, and rental duration.

8. Traffic Fines:

   • Any traffic fines incurred during the rental period will typically be charged to your credit card.

Explore Car Rental offers delivery upon request to your location (view fast delivery locations) within Dubai.
However, free pick-up from their branch in DIFC is available during office hours.

You will be charged AED 5upon crossing every salik (toll) gate. You will be billed at the end of your rental duration. The salik amount may be deducted from your security deposit or you can pay for it separately.

The car rental security deposit between AED 1000 - AED 10,000 is taken at the start of rental. It is released max 30 days after the car is returned. It may be returned to you by bank transfer, cash deposit into your bank account or cheque. Security block by credit card pre-authorization is better as it is automatically released by the bank on the same credit card within 30 days.

If you have a new driving license that's less than six months old, please check with the car rental agent as the requirement varies based on the insurance policy of the respective car. Some are available for new driving license holders at a higher security deposit amount, with limited insurance coverage and liable for higher excess fee while others are only available with older licenses. All cars can be rented with a valid driving license older than six months.
