FAQ

Car rental in Dubai — good to know

What documents do I need to rent a car in Dubai?+

Most suppliers require a valid driving licence held for at least 12 months, a passport or national ID, and a credit card in the main driver's name for the security deposit. Some countries also require an International Driving Permit — check your destination's rules before you travel.

Can I pick up the car at Dubai International (DXB)?+

Yes. Dubai International (DXB) hosts most major international rental suppliers with desks in the arrivals area. When live search opens on Marhaba you'll be able to compare airport counter rates alongside downtown pick-up locations.

Is insurance included in the price?+

Basic third-party liability is always included by law. Collision damage waiver (CDW) and theft protection are usually included in the displayed price, but excess amounts vary — you'll see the full inclusions on every offer when live search launches.

What is the cheapest day to pick up a car?+

Midweek pick-ups (Tuesday to Thursday) are typically 15–25% cheaper than Friday or Saturday, and booking 3–6 weeks ahead usually beats last-minute rates. Marhaba's live search will surface the best days automatically.
