Minimum Age: 21-25

The legal age to rent a vehicle (car, van, pick-up truck, SUV or any other) in the UAE is 21 years old as per RTA regulations. However, this largely depends on the insurance policy issued to the car by the car rental company. The minimum age may be 23 years and even 25 years, in some cases.

Security Deposit

AED 1000 – AED 10,000 is secured or pre-authorized depending on the car and the car rental company's policies. The amount is returned / released 15-30 days after the end of the rental period.

The Korean-built Chevrolet Spark is the smallest offering from the American brand. Its probably advisable to avoid highways as it comes with a tiny 1.0-litre 4-cylinder engine under its hood, with the 4-speed automatic not doing any favours either. Options for the higher-spec models include aluminium-alloy wheels, enlarged spoiler, front sports bumper, chrome grill, coloured door handles, fog lamps, cruise control, steering wheel with audio and cruise control buttons, and CD player with MP3 support and USB port.
