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.

You start driving the car and realise that the claims that the engineers make is bang on. The gear shifts are good and effortless and you cannot even hear a sound from the gearbox as it upshifts or downshifts. The gearbox is amazingly accurate, however if you want to overtake a car, thats when you wish you had the power at your will to push you ahead. It is a car though meant for the city because it is in no rush to go anywhere. Its the best solution if you always wanted a chauffeur driven car. The exteriors and the interiors of the car remain untouched and so does the engine.
