Plus, it can be a cheaper way to explore the country if you are splitting the costs with a group of friends. And if you want to discover Dubai at your own leisurely pace, then hiring a car is the perfect way to achieve that goal! With an abundance of attractions and activities in this dynamic city, having your own vehicle grants you the freedom and flexibility to come and go as you please.
  • When driving In the United Arab Emirates, a local driving licence from another country is not recognised unless accompanied by an International Driver's Permit (IDP).

Failing to comply with this regulation can result in a fine of AED 400 for the driver, along with the addition of four black points to their driving record. Furthermore, children up to the age of four must be secured in a child safety seat, and the front passenger must be at least 145 cm tall and a minimum of ten years old.
  • If you are wanting to cross the border into the neighbouring countries of Oman and Saudi Arabia, then it is first advisable to contact your car hire company, and check whether they allow you to drive your car over the border and what their policy is. It is recommended to confirm if they permit such trips and if they can provide you with a No Objection Certificate (NOC).
