Dubai, like the UAE as a whole, is associated with luxury and its trappings, in particular luxury cars. Here, you just want to join the world of sheikhs riding expensive cars. Therefore, renting a luxury car in Dubai and other cities in the UAE is quite easy, and it is done in the same way as renting a regular car. To rent a Rolls Royce or rent Ferrari Dubai, choose reliable rental companies. There are truly exclusive cars available for rent.
The Process Of Getting A Car For Rent
After arriving and passing through the formalities, at the exit of any of the terminals of the Dubai airport, the offices of rental companies will be waiting for you. The same applies to other airports in the UAE. If you have booked a car in advance online, feel free to go to the company indicated in the voucher. If you haven’t booked in advance, you can go to any of them, but the chance that the car that suits you will be available is small, especially during the high season, so we recommend booking a car in advance via the Internet.
At the counter, show the employee an identity document, an international driver’s licence, a credit card and a voucher. Fill out the form, sign the contract, and go to get the car, they are in the parking lot near the airport. A deposit is blocked on your credit card (if it is stipulated by the rental agreement).
Before you put your signature on the contract, carefully inspect the car for:
- body defects;
- actual mileage;
- the presence of gasoline in the tank.
Each of these points must be fixed in the contract or additional agreement.
The most important are body defects. If you miss and do not specify one of them when filling out the checklist, the repair fee may be deducted from the deposit.
The checklist before signing the contract is usually filled out by the manager of the rental company. However, it is better to inspect the body yourself and personally check all the recorded information.
Also, before signing the contract, information about the actual mileage at the time of the lease and the fuel level is recorded. The mileage data is important if the car rental company has daily limits. The amount of gasoline is important if you need to return the car with the same displacement.
An employee of the rental company will give you contacts for communication in an emergency and explain how and where to return the car, that is, how to get to this particular parking lot. If this has not been explained to you and you have not been given contacts, do not hesitate to remind them about it. To remember how to go back, it is better to draw a map or put a dot on the map, so that in the future the navigator will lead you to the starting position.
If you get a car not at the Dubai airport, but in the city, all the recommendations remain the same. The same applies to receiving a car at another airport or city in the UAE, the rules and scheme are the same.
Rental Car Return
Using a pre-marked point on the map and instructions from the employee upon receipt of the car, you should return the rental car to the parking lot near the airport. Or, if you took in the city, then back to the place of issue.
After parking the rental car, you need to find an employee of the rental company. He can be either in the parking lot or in the office where you filled out the documents when you received the car. Together, you need to inspect the car for damage and fix everything, checking with those that were there at the time of receiving the car. After that, a representative of the company will check the number of passages on toll roads and the fines on a special basis. Money for this will be debited from the card later, and you can check their availability on the website of the Dubai Police.
Parking and Insurance
Dubai has both paid and free parking. In order not to pay money, the easiest way to park is in shopping centres: with rare exceptions, parking is free or there are a sufficient number of free hours.
Insurance can be standard (mandatory) and optional (complete).
Compulsory insurance policy CWD means compensation for damage due to a collision, is included in the rental price, regardless of your desire. The cheapest additional PI policy is accident insurance. More expensive will be the so-called PWD policy, which assumes partial responsibility for most damage. There are also more exotic offerings. For example, compensation in the case of damage to windows and tires. PI and PWD are calculated at the rates of local companies in Dubai, they are quite difficult to remember and understand, but in general they do not exceed five percent of the amount.
Conclusion
Renting a car is a very convenient and practical way to travel abroad. However, you need to be careful when accepting and returning the car, as well
