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.

It’s a marvel that convertibles still exist in an era when many drivers care less about driving than they do about phone connectivity and in-car infotainment. Put the top down and, more often than not, sun glare washes out that colorful center-console display. No matter how good the wind blocker is, buffeting usually reduces hands-free communication to shouting, “I’ll call you back.” And these are the new problems. Like roaches and polyester, the tort lawyers and their aversion to risk that nearly drove convertibles to extinction in the 1970s are still with us. Carmakers have had only middling success with alternatives such as removable roof panels and retractable hardtops. Sunburn is still sunburn.
