ok?

I see. We paid cash so I didn't know about the car loan being put on your registration card.

Re: Leasing a car in Abu Dhabi

sorry for hijacking your thread OP, I would say lease, stay clear of places like Fast and Thrifty. Al Ghazal are good but they do charge a little bit more than others, but the service is good/reliable.

- Any idea what I'll be able to get on my monthly allowance of 3,100dhs

There's an old (closed) thread from 2008 on the topic but I'm guessing the rates are no longer valid?

Ta

I use Hertz, Toyota Prado 4.0 V6 - 3800 Dhs per month on a two year 20,000km per year lease. This is all in, all you have to do is pay the speeding fines, insurance excess and petrol. If you are adverse to credit or can't get it (like me), it works.

Other companies to try are Thrifty and Diamond Lease
