Rent a Car in Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Sharjah

Salik is Dubai’s electronic toll collection system, allowing for seamless travel across the UAE without any toll booths or interruptions. When you drive through a Salik toll, the charges are recorded by the rental company through the RTA’s Salik system. As the renter or driver, you are responsible for paying these charges. Car rental companies typically add a markup of AED 5 per Salik crossing.

Note: You are also responsible for Salik charges if you are using a hired taxi that crosses a toll in Dubai, such as on Sheikh Zayed Road.

Mileage limitation refers to the maximum number of kilometers you can drive your rental car without incurring additional costs. The mileage limit is included in the rental price. Any extra kilometers driven beyond this limit will be charged by the rental company, and these charges vary depending on the car, so it’s important to confirm the details before you rent.

It’s important to confirm the correct type of fuel for your rental car right from the start. You can ask the car rental staff by providing the car model and your rental reference number. While fuel station attendants can assist, the responsibility to fill the car with the correct fuel type ultimately lies with you. If you accidentally use the wrong fuel, you may be held responsible for the damage caused, including repair costs and the days the car spends in the garage for repairs.

In the event of an accident, whether minor or major, you must obtain a Police report. At a minimum, your rental car should have basic insurance. If the accident isn’t your fault, you’ll receive a green slip from the Police, which means you won’t be held liable for the damages. However, if you’re issued a red slip, you may be required to pay the excess fees, up to the maximum limit. Some car rental companies charge high fees for repairs, garage days, and admin costs even for minor damages. To avoid surprises, always review the car rental agreement at the time of pickup before signing. It’s also important to inspect the car for existing dents, scratches, etc., before taking possession, and take pictures for proof.

When driving in Dubai, always ensure you pay for parking in both public and private paid-parking spaces.

Remember, maintaining safe driving practices ensures a smoother experience and helps you avoid unnecessary costs.

It's likely too good to be true. Always be careful of such offers and the rental companies you're considering.
