VAN cars for rent in Abu Dhabi

Documents

UAE residents: a valid UAE driving licence, Emirates ID and a credit or debit card for the security deposit.

Visitors: passport and a valid national driving licence. Licences from many countries, including the UK, most EU countries, the USA, Canada and Australia, are accepted; for other countries an International Driving Permit (IDP) is needed.

Some licences (for example from Japan or South Korea) need a certified translation. Check with the rental company if you are not sure about your licence.

Minimum age

The minimum age is usually 21. Some companies charge extra for drivers aged 21–25 or require more experience for sports and luxury cars.

Security deposit

The deposit is blocked on your card and released after the rental. It covers fuel, Salik tolls, traffic fines and possible damage. The deposit for each car is shown on its page.

Fines can arrive after you return the car, so the deposit is often released 2–4 weeks later. Some companies offer no-deposit rental for a fixed non-refundable fee.

Salik tolls and fines

Dubai roads have Salik toll gates. The rental company pays the tolls and charges them to you, usually with a small service fee. Traffic fines are also passed on to the renter.

Fuel policy

Return the car with the same fuel level as at pick-up. Otherwise the company charges for refuelling.

Mileage limits

Each offer has a daily and a monthly mileage limit (shown in the car card). Extra kilometres are charged separately.

Insurance and accidents

Rental cars come with standard insurance; full cover with zero excess is often available as an add-on. Tyres, windscreen and damage on unpaved roads are usually not covered.

After any accident you need a police report. Without it the insurance does not cover the damage and the renter pays for repairs.

Delivery

Many companies deliver the car to your hotel, home or the airport. Delivery terms and fees are shown on the car page or confirmed when you book.
