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.

Pathfinder can be considered a proper off-roading 4WD. It is built on a fullsize pickup platform, thereby offering good off-road capability but marginal on-road handling. The current Pathfinder is significantly larger than previous models. It offers more interior space and more convenience features. It also offers third-row seating to carry up to seven people. The 4.0-litre V6 that powers the Pathfinder is a larger, retuned version of the engine that powers the 350Z. Its five-speed automatic transmission is geared to use the engines torque characteristics. The 4WD features optional Hill Descent Control, which limits downhill speed without driver intervention, and Hill Start Assist, which briefly holds the Pathfinder on a slope while the driver releases the brake pedal and applies the accelerator. Standard features include fabric upholstery, cruise control, power mirrors, windows and door locks with keyless remote, CD stereo with six speakers, reclining backs on the middle row seats, front and side airbags, ABS and alloy wheels. Options include power seats, halogen foglights, running boards, roof rack cross bars and leather seating. For 2008, the Pathfinder received a very minor facelift, while gaining new available features such as Bluetooth, navigation, rear-seat DVD entertainment and intelligent keyless entry.
