Pick-up locations
I would be happy to prepare a focused text (50–80 words) about Auto Europe Israel's collaboration in the UAE, but I am missing a list of suppliers. Please send the names of the relevant rental companies, and for each supplier indicate whether there is a branch at the airport and/or in the city. Upon receiving the details, I will draft an accurate text according to the guidelines (including branch locations, without commitment to operating hours).
Car rental companies in United Arab Emirates
In the UAE, Auto Europe Israel connects you to a wide selection of rental stations throughout the Emirates – so you can pick up and return a vehicle exactly where it’s convenient for you. The main pick-up points are spread across major airports: Dubai International (DXB – Terminals 1/2/3), Al Maktoum (DWC), Abu Dhabi (AUH – Terminal A), and Sharjah (SHJ). Alongside these, you'll find urban branches in convenient locations in Dubai (Downtown, Marina, Business Bay, JLT), Abu Dhabi (Corniche, Yas Island), as well as in Al Ain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah. These numerous options enable flexible combinations – for example, pick up in the city and return at the airport, or vice versa – according to your travel or business plan.
Operating hours vary between suppliers and branches: at many airport terminals, the counters operate around the clock, while city locations have extended hours but are not always 24/7. Therefore, it is advisable to match your arrival or departure time to the hours of your chosen branch, or to coordinate pick-up/return service outside working hours in advance (subject to availability and additional fee). Upon collection, present a valid Israeli driver's license, and an international driving permit is highly recommended; also, a passport and a physical credit card under the main driver's name for deposit. Pay attention to driver age restrictions (usually from age 21 and sometimes a surcharge for young drivers), fuel and mileage policies, and types of included insurance. Road tolls are automatically collected at electronic charging gates (Salik in Dubai and Darb in Abu Dhabi) and are charged on the rental invoice. Driving between the Emirates is allowed, but traveling to a neighboring country requires prior approval and insurance. With Auto Europe Israel, enjoy the convenient choice of station, transparent pre-coordination, and a smooth driving experience – throughout the UAE.
FAQ – Car rental in United Arab Emirates
What is the minimum age to rent a car, and is there an additional charge for young drivers?
In the UAE, when renting through Auto Europe Israel, the minimum age to rent a car is at least 21, with some categories or suppliers possibly requiring age 23-25 for certain vehicles. Drivers aged 21-24 are usually charged a daily young driver fee, and there may be restrictions on vehicle types. A valid driver's license with a minimum of one year of experience is required.
Is an Israeli driver's license sufficient, or is an international license required?
In the UAE, when renting through Auto Europe Israel, tourists must present a valid passport, visa or entry stamp, and an original valid Israeli driver's license; most suppliers additionally require an international driving permit (IDP) accompanying the Israeli license, especially if the license is not in English or Arabic. The main driver and additional drivers must present the original documents upon collection.
What does the basic insurance package include, and what additional insurance is recommended?
In the UAE, when renting through Auto Europe Israel, the basic insurance generally includes Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection (TP) with a deductible, as well as third-party liability according to local law. Coverage does not typically include windshields, tires, mirrors, the undercarriage, key, or towing services due to negligence, and off-road or sand driving is not permitted and not covered. It is recommended to consider Super CDW to reduce the deductible, windshield and tire coverage, extended roadside assistance, and personal accident insurance for the driver and passengers. Salik road tolls are charged separately according to usage and are not part of the insurance.
What is the fuel policy - do I need to return the car with a full tank?
In the UAE, when renting through Auto Europe Israel, the common policy is full-to-full or return with the same fuel level as delivered. Returning with a lower level will incur charges for the missing fuel and sometimes refueling service fees. Many fuel stations are open 24/7, popular fuel types are 95 or 98 gasoline, and it is important to refuel with the fuel type indicated on the tank cap or contract.
What happens in case of an accident or vehicle breakdown?
In the UAE, when renting through Auto Europe Israel, in case of an accident, you must call the police and produce an official report for insurance to be honored; dial 999 for emergencies, and in Dubai, you can report a minor accident through the Dubai Police app or by calling 901. Do not move the vehicle until given instructions. Then contact the supplier's center and roadside assistance immediately, with their numbers provided on the voucher and rental agreement, and keep the report for submission upon return. In case of a mechanical breakdown, stop in a safe place and call the supplier's roadside assistance; do not perform repairs without approval.
Tips for car rental in United Arab Emirates
Planning to rent a car abroad? We've gathered four quick tips to help you arrive prepared at the station, understand the insurance, avoid unnecessary charges, and return the car calmly—so you can focus on the trip and save time and money along the way.
Credit Card for Deposit
In most destinations, a physical international credit card in the main driver's name with a sufficient limit for a deposit is required. Debit/prepaid cards are often not accepted as collateral; prepare an alternative card if needed.
Understand Insurance Coverage and Deductible
Check the deductible amount and what is included in CDW/TP. If you choose a refund policy for the deductible, a damage charge might be made locally and then you submit a claim for reimbursement with the relevant party.
Money-Saving Fuel Policy
Check if the policy is full-to-full or full-to-empty. Return with a full tank from the same regional station and keep a receipt until the contract is closed—this way you avoid refueling charges and rate differences.
Document Vehicle Condition at Pickup and Return
Walk around the vehicle, take photos of damages, fuel gauge and odometer at pickup and return. Request written/digital confirmation of the vehicle's condition—this saves disputes over charges post-trip.
