Valid Driver’s License
You must be able to present a valid driver’s license. If accompanied by a passport, international licenses are accepted by most car rentals. An International Driving Permit may also be required by some companies.
Passport or Emirates ID
You will have to show them a passport (if you are a tourist) or Emirates ID (if you are a resident of UAE). The documents prove you exist and have powers of a certain kind.
Visa or Entry Stamp
A visa or entry stamp is required of tourists for legal stay in the country. Without it, many car rentals would begin by not handing over the vehicle.
Credit or Debit Card
A valid credit or debit card for payment and a security deposit will be required by almost all car rentals. The best thing is to ensure your balance in your card is enough and your card is active.
Proof of Address (For Residents)
Living in the UAE, companies might request proof of address (such as a utility bill or tenancy contract). This is useful for verifying and contacting the user.
Additional Driver’s Documents
Planning to share the ride? In addition, if someone else is driving, they have to produce their license and ID, too. Requisitions that charge an additional driver fee may also exist.
Insurance Coverage Requirements
Proof of insurance is required by many car rental companies. Most of the rentals do have the basic coverage, but if you want additional coverage is up to you.
Age Requirements for Renting a Car
Most companies (probably all) that provide car rental have minimum age requirements, normally 21, and in some cases a fee is charged for drivers under age 25. That is why you need to make sure of it before you start booking.
Conclusion
If you come prepared, getting a monthly car rental is easy. Make sure you have your documents ready so as to avoid any delays. If you are a tourist or a resident, be prepared with the corresponding paperwork and car rentals will go smooth and are free of worry. Happy driving!
