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.
