Car rental companies in Dubai
Auto Europe Israel collaborates with a large number of car rental companies in Dubai and throughout the UAE, providing you with a wide range of options for collecting the car from various stations across the city. The main ones are located at Dubai International Airport (DXB) in all terminals, including the central car rental area, as well as at Al Maktoum Airport (DWC) in the south of the city. Other popular pick-up points are scattered in central neighborhoods such as Downtown Dubai, Marina, Jumeirah, Deira, Bur Dubai, Al Barsha, Internet City, and business complexes in Business Bay, alongside branches in major shopping centers like Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates. This allows you to choose a station convenient for your route, whether you are arriving on a night flight, staying along Sheikh Zayed Road, or planning a quick departure.
Many other rental stations are spread across the metropolis, allowing you to determine exactly where you want to collect or return the car, and sometimes even perform a return at a different station from the collection point according to the supplier's policy. Operating hours vary between rental companies and locations: many airport branches are open 24/7, while neighborhood branches tend to operate in extended evening hours and sometimes on weekends, subject to the local holiday calendar and changes during Ramadan. Therefore, it is important to verify in advance that the hours of the station you chose match your arrival or departure time, so you can pick up and return the car at the most convenient place and time for you. It is also recommended to book an appropriate car category in advance, check the option of collecting outside operating hours by arrangement, and familiarize yourself with local driving rules such as toll roads (Salik) and parking in city centers.
To save time on collection, verify that the national and international driving licenses are valid, that the flight number is updated in the reservation, and that the lead driver's credit card details are available for deposit. If you plan to travel outside of Dubai, for example to Abu Dhabi or Ras Al Khaimah, check in advance the conditions for crossing between emirates and per kilometer pricing, as well as cross-city return policies.
FAQ – Car rental in Dubai
What is the minimum age to rent a car, and is there an additional charge for young drivers?
When renting a car in Dubai through Auto Europe Israel, the minimum age is 21 and over with a valid license for at least one year. Drivers under 25 are typically subject to a daily additional charge ("young driver"), and certain vehicle types may require a minimum age of 24-25. Restrictions and the amount of the surcharge are determined by the supplier and will appear on the reservation voucher.
Is an Israeli driver's license sufficient, or is an international license required?
In Dubai, tourists can drive with a valid original Israeli license as long as it is in English or Arabic; however, many suppliers require or recommend an International Driving Permit (IDP) in addition. Auto Europe Israel recommends bringing both licenses, along with a passport with an entry stamp, to prevent refusal of delivery at the pick-up point.
What does the basic insurance package include, and what additional insurances are recommended?
When renting a car in Dubai through Auto Europe Israel, the basic insurance usually includes CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) and TP (Theft Protection) with an excess, as well as third-party liability insurance as required by local law. Items such as windows, tires, mirrors, roof, undercarriage, keys, and internal damages are usually not covered. Upgrades are possible for extensions such as reducing/eliminating excess (Super CDW/Zero Excess), tire and window coverage, and extended roadside assistance; PAI as needed. Note that Salik charges (tolls), fuel, and fines are not covered by insurance.
What happens in case of an accident or vehicle malfunction?
In Dubai, a police report is required for any accident to honor the insurance coverage. In an emergency call 999; for minor accidents, you can report via the Dubai Police app or by calling 901 according to instructions. Immediately contact the supplier using the 24/7 number on Auto Europe Israel's voucher/contract for towing or a replacement vehicle. Without a valid police report, you may be fully charged for damages. In a mechanical malfunction without an accident, contact the supplier's roadside services and obtain approval before any repair.
What documents are required to collect the vehicle at the airport?
When collecting a car in Dubai through Auto Europe Israel, you will need to present: a valid passport with an entry stamp to the UAE, an original Israeli driver's license, and if necessary, an international license (IDP) according to the supplier's requirements, an international physical credit card in the name of the primary driver for securities (deposit), and Auto Europe Israel's reservation voucher. Debit/preloaded cards are generally not accepted for deposits, and amounts for fuel, Salik charges, and fines may be withheld.
Tips for car rental in Dubai
Here are four important tips for renting a car in Europe through Auto Europe Israel, randomly selected from the key topics worth knowing before booking and collecting, to save time, money, and frustration on every rental and in every destination.
Deposit and Credit Card in Driver's Name
An international physical credit card in the main driver's name must be presented for a deposit; Debit/Direct or virtual cards are generally not accepted. Ensure sufficient limit and appropriate validity.
Insurance Coverage and Excess
Check what is covered by the basic insurance, the level of excess, and options to extend or cancel excess through Auto Europe Israel. Note exclusions such as windows, roof, underside, and tires.
Fuel Policy and Mileage Limitations
Prefer full-to-full to pay only for the fuel you use. Check if the rental includes unlimited mileage or a daily limit, and additional costs if exceeded.
Vehicle Inspection at Collection and Return
Photograph and document any scratches and damage upon collection, and ensure they are recorded in the contract. Return with the same fuel level and receive a printed/digital return confirmation to avoid unnecessary charges.
