Cars are the preferred method of transportation in Dubai. Major hotels supply shuttle bus services. Dubai provides affordable bus service daily 6am - 11pm. Abras operate across the creek from Bur Dubai to Deita daily 6am - midnight. Taxis are available on the street or by prebooking via telephone. You need a valid International Driving Permit or Intarnational drivers license and a major credit card to hire a car in Dubai. To obtain a temporary driver's license you need a valid license from home, a passport and two passport photos.

All too often renting a car means standing in long lines, discovering that the car you reserved is not available and learning that the price quoted over the phone doesn't include additional charges such as Dubai Insurance, coverage for more than one driver and refueling fees. Your personal automobile insurance policy may have restrictions or limitations on driving in Dubai. Check your coverage, including the terms of your credit card policy, before you rent in Dubai. If you hold a new style European driving licence, please ensure that you bring both photo & paper parts of your licence with you. The car hire agreement will record all drivers of the hire car and, once completed, you can start exploring and enjoy your low cost car rental in UAE!
