Here\u2019s what you should prepare before renting:<\/p><ul><li><b>Your passport<\/b> must be valid for the entire duration of your stay in the UAE. In some cases, rental companies may require it to be valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date from the country.<\/li><li class=\"p1\"><b>Driver\u2019s License:<\/b> If your license is not issued by one of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, you will need an International Driving Permit (IDP). It\u2019s a good idea to check whether your rental company requires this document\u2014many accept licenses from European Union countries, but to be on the safe side, it\u2019s best to carry your IDP with you.<\/li><li><strong>Credit Card: <\/strong> In the UAE, rental companies typically require a credit card to secure the rental. They often place a hold for a deposit, which is released after the vehicle is returned in good condition. Debit cards are less commonly accepted, so ensure you have a credit card with a sufficient limit.<\/li><li><strong>Minimum Driving Age:<\/strong> The minimum age for drivers is usually 21 years old. However, for more luxurious models, rental companies may require drivers to be at least 25. If you\u2019re unsure, check the specific requirements of your chosen rental company.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b09cfa6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b09cfa6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>International Driving License<\/h3><p class=\"p1\">If you plan to rent a car in the United Arab Emirates, an International Driving Permit (IDP) may be an essential document. For Polish citizens, obtaining an IDP is relatively straightforward \u2013 you just need to submit an application at the traffic department appropriate for your place of residence, such as at a city office or district council.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">You can find application forms on the official websites of the respective offices, and the process usually requires an in-person visit.

Based on our experience, the easiest option is to rent a car <strong>at the airport <\/strong> &#8211; especially if you\u2019re planning to stay in the country for a week or two. Why? Because it saves time and energy. You land, pick up the keys, and hit the road straight away.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Dubai, being both a city and an emirate, is expansive, and the airport often serves as the starting and ending point of your journey. Rental companies at airports like DXB (Dubai) or AUH (Abu Dhabi) offer a wide range of vehicles &#8211; from budget-friendly models to luxury SUVs &#8211; ensuring a quick and efficient process for picking up your car.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">However, if you\u2019re planning a longer stay, such as a month, it\u2019s worth comparing prices on local car rental platforms. You can often find attractive deals that may include perks like unlimited mileage or lower deposits. Just make sure to carefully read the terms and conditions, especially regarding hidden fees, to avoid any surprises.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">An additional advantage of car rental in the UAE is the option to return the vehicle at a different location from where you picked it up. For instance, you can collect the car in Sharjah and drop it off at Dubai International Airport (DXB) before your flight. This flexibility is ideal for travelers planning to explore multiple Emirates without the hassle of returning to the starting point.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

It works on the basis of electronic toll collection, meaning there are no traditional toll booths, and fees are automatically charged when passing through designated checkpoints.<\/p><h4 class=\"p1\"><b>How does it work?<\/b><b><\/b><\/h4><p class=\"p1\">Each vehicle registered in Dubai is equipped with a special RFID sticker placed on the windshield. When passing through a Salik gate, the system automatically reads the sticker and charges the appropriate fee to your Salik account. For tourists renting cars, most rental companies already equip vehicles with these stickers, and the fees are later added to the rental bill.<\/p><h4 class=\"p1\"><b>Where are the Salik gates located?<\/b><b><\/b><\/h4><p class=\"p1\">In Dubai, Salik gates are strategically placed at key points in the city, such as Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Maktoum Bridge, and Al Garhoud Bridge. Before your journey, it\u2019s a good idea to familiarize yourself with their locations so you\u2019ll know when the toll will be charged.<\/p><h4 class=\"p1\"><b>How much does it cost?<\/b><b><\/b><\/h4><p class=\"p1\">The standard fee for passing through a Salik toll gate is 4 AED per crossing. These fees may vary depending on the time of day and the location of the gate. It\u2019s also important to note that multiple crossings through different gates in a short time could result in multiple charges.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Road tolls in Abu Dhabi<\/h3><p class=\"p1\">In Abu Dhabi, there is a road toll system known as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/darb.itc.gov.ae\/RucWeb\/login\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DARB<\/a>\u201d, which was introduced in January 2021. The goal of this system is to reduce traffic congestion and encourage the use of public transportation.<\/p><h4 class=\"p1\"><b>How does it work?<\/b><b><\/b><\/h4><p class=\"p1\">Car rental companies usually register their vehicles in the DARB system. Road tolls are then added to your bill after returning the car. However, make sure that the car has proper registration when renting it to avoid any unpleasant surprises.<\/p><h4 class=\"p1\"><b>Where are the DARB gates located?<\/b><b><\/b><\/h4><p class=\"p1\">In Abu Dhabi, you\u2019ll most often use the main bridges leading to Abu Dhabi Island. DARB toll gates are located at the following locations: Sheikh Zayed Bridge, Al Maqtaa Bridge, Mussafah Bridge, and Sheikh Khalifa Bridge.<\/p><h4 class=\"p1\"><b>How much does it cost?<\/b><b><\/b><\/h4><p class=\"p1\">Tolls in Abu Dhabi are only applicable during peak hours: 7:00\u20139:00 and 17:00\u201319:00. Each crossing costs 4 AED, but if you\u2019re traveling a lot around the city, don\u2019t worry \u2013 the maximum daily toll is 16 AED, so after four crossings, you won\u2019t be charged further. Importantly, tolls are not applied on Fridays or during official holidays.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">As a tourist, you may unknowingly face fines if, for example, the rented car is not registered in the DARB system. Make sure the vehicle you\u2019re driving is properly registered \u2013 this way, you can avoid a penalty, which starts at 100 AED for the first offense and increases for subsequent ones.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e340fbe elementor-widget elementor-widget-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry\" data-id=\"e340fbe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"qi_addons_for_elementor_image_gallery_masonry.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-shortcode qodef-m qodef-qi-image-gallery-masonry qodef-qi-fslightbox-popup qodef-popup-gallery qodef-image--hover-zoom qodef-qi-grid qodef-layout--qi-masonry qodef-items--fixed qodef-col-num--3 qodef-responsive--predefined\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-grid-inner\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"qodef-qi-grid-masonry-sizer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-e qodef-image-wrapper qodef-grid-item qodef-item--square\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-popup-item\" itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/uae-abu-dhabi-road-traffic-001-mfrh-original-scaled.jpg\" data-type=\"image\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery-12\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/uae-abu-dhabi-road-traffic-001-650x650.jpg\" class=\"attachment-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_square size-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_square\" alt=\"Abu Dhabi Road traffic on a highway at sunset in the UAE, with vehicles and lane markings visible\" srcset=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/uae-abu-dhabi-road-traffic-001-650x650.jpg 650w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/uae-abu-dhabi-road-traffic-001-148x148.jpg 148w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/uae-abu-dhabi-road-traffic-001-296x296.jpg 296w, https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/uae-abu-dhabi-road-traffic-001-1300x1300.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"qodef-e qodef-image-wrapper qodef-grid-item qodef-item--landscape\">\n\t<div class=\"qodef-e-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"qodef-popup-item\" itemprop=\"image\" href=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/uae-dubai-road-traffic-002-mfrh-original-scaled.jpg\" data-type=\"image\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery-12\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/warsawtravelers.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/uae-dubai-road-traffic-002-1300x650.jpg\" class=\"attachment-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_landscape size-qi_addons_for_elementor_image_size_landscape\" alt=\"UAE, Dubai Road traffic with multiple lanes of cars heading toward downtown skyscrapers under a cloudy sky\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b683fa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4b683fa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Insurance<\/h2><p class=\"p1\">In most cases, basic insurance (CDW \u2013 Collision Damage Waiver) is already included in the car rental price in the UAE. It covers repair costs in case of a collision, though there is often a deductible, which is the amount the driver must cover.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">You can extend your coverage by purchasing additional insurance when booking online or at the rental office. However, keep in mind that companies sometimes try to \u201cpush\u201d extra policies, which may not always be necessary.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">If you have travel insurance, a credit card with coverage, or a travel policy that includes car rentals, additional insurance may be unnecessary. It\u2019s worth checking the details of your coverage to avoid unnecessary expenses.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-027a332 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"027a332\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Travel insurance<\/h3><p class=\"p1\">When planning a trip, especially outside the European Union, it\u2019s important to ensure you have the right travel insurance. However, before choosing a policy, be sure to check the travel recommendations from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarding the regions you plan to visit. Why is this so important? In some cases, if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs advises against visiting a particular area, your insurance may not cover incidents in that region.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Make sure to carefully read the General Terms and Conditions of the Insurance (GTC) \u2013 this is where you\u2019ll find detailed information about the coverage, including the risks and territories covered by the policy. Travel insurance is not just about health protection; it also provides assistance in cases of car rental issues or potential legal problems abroad.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">When traveling, it&#8217;s always a good idea to have a full policy tailored to your plans and the specifics of the country you&#8217;re going to.

Failure to wear a seatbelt can result in a fine of AED 400 and 4 penalty points.<\/li><li class=\"p1\"><b>Cell phone use:<\/b> Talking on the phone while driving without a hands-free kit is prohibited and punishable by a fine.<\/li><li class=\"p1\"><b>Alcohol and driving: <\/b> There is zero tolerance for driving under the influence of alcohol in the UAE.

Numerous radars and traffic monitoring cameras are installed on highways and intersections.<\/li><li class=\"p1\">Interestingly, in recent years they have also begun to penalize offenses such as throwing garbage out of the car, which is expected to improve the culture of behavior on the road.<\/li><li class=\"p1\">Driving culture in the UAE differs from Europe. Drivers often don&#8217;t use turn signals, and a signal that is on can be confusing, as some forget to turn it off after an earlier maneuver.<\/li><li class=\"p1\">On well-lit highways, it happens that drivers drive without their headlights on.<\/li><li class=\"p1\">Pay attention to the curb markings that indicate parking rules. Curbs painted in red and white stripes indicate that stopping is prohibited. In some places you will also find clear markings for private and public parking lots, with information about possible fees.

Returning with an incomplete tank incurs additional refueling fees, often much higher than the standard price at the station.<\/li><li><strong>Insurance deductibles: <\/strong>check the amount of the deductible that applies to basic insurance and whether additional insurance is really necessary. Beware of pressure from the rental company to purchase extended insurance if you have alternative coverage from other sources (such as a credit card).<\/li><li><strong>Return Conditions: <\/strong>Make sure you understand the rules for returning the vehicle, including the times and place of return. Minor delays may incur charges for an additional day of rental.<\/li><li><strong>Liability for damages: <\/strong>Make sure what damages are covered by insurance and what costs you may incur in the event of an accident. Some rental companies may try to shift liability to you for minor damages that are not your fault.<\/li><li><strong>Cancellation and change of reservation: <\/strong>Check the terms and conditions for cancellations and changes to reservations. In some cases, changes made close to the rental date may incur additional charges.<\/li><li><strong>Chargeback: <\/strong>If you encounter wrongful charges, it is worth remembering to use the <strong>chargeback<\/strong> procedure on your payment card. You can report the unauthorized transaction to the bank, which will process the chargeback.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
