Car Rentals - Dubai
Hi Guys.
Im really glad this website exists.
As i feel all my worries can now be answered.
So the worry for today. I move to Dubai on the 29th January 2018.
After finding Accommodation. I require a car. However i have no Credit Card.
I have been quoted 2000AED from a company but they wish to keep my passport for the term of the rental. They charge no deposits ( big no no?)
However after looking on Skyscanner, I found that price was equivalent to airport prices. So i wasn't getting an appealing deal to begin with.
If somebody could please suggest some good reliable companies in Dubai who would rent me a vehicle with a cash deposit or Debit Card id be grateful.
Thanks in Advance.

Re: Car Rentals - Dubai
Find out who your company has a deal with and rent from them.
I'd never give a hire car company my passport.
Most don't take a deposit.
1,700 - 2,000 is the going rate for a medium sedan type vehicle. Kia Rio, Tiida, Yaris etc.

I agree - they shouldn't need a passport, surely a photocopy would suffice...

Re: Car Rentals - Dubai
NEVER give your passport to any retail outlet....you might get it cheaper if you take out a longer lease eg 1 yr.

I have contact my company and they have given me a contact number.
Contacted this company today and wanted prices on Kia Rio Hatchback and Nissan Sunny. I was told Nissan is 1500 AED and Kia Rio 1700AED.
A soft copy of my passport and driving license is needed and no deposit required. They will also drop it to my hotel/apartment.

I spoke to diamond lease however they are adamant a credit card is needed. Maybe it would be better if i spoke to them in person.

Also to give you an idea on price once you get settled ...... I currently rent a brand new Ford Ecosport for my wife from Avis @ 1199 per month on a 12 month rental but you definitely need a credit card for that.
