What documents do I need to rent a car at Al Maktoum Airport?

Please make sure you have a legal driver's license. If your license isn't in English or Arabic, you'll likely need an International Driving Permit (IDP). Visitors also need to bring a passport and visa, and people who live in the UAE need a legal driver's license.

Can I drive the rental car outside Dubai or into other Emirates?

Most of the time, you can drive into other UAE emirates. But you might not be able to go off-road in areas or across borders; check with us 24baba before doing any of that to see if there are any restrictions.

Is the fuel policy important? What should I know?

Yes, the rules about fuel are very important. A lot of places make you return the car with the same amount of gas in it as when you picked it up. If not, you might have to pay more to refuel. Check our website to see if you have to pay for gas when you pick up or drop off the car.

What is the cancellation policy for car rentals in Dubai?

We let you stop for free if you do it before a certain time, like more than 24 or 48 hours before pick-up. You might be charged a fee or lose your payment if you cancel late or don't show up.

What are mileage limits and how do they work?

In Dubai, many car rental companies limit the number of kilometers you can drive each day or during your rental time. For example, economy cars only let you drive 200 km per day. You'll usually have to pay extra per kilometer if you go over this rate. To know more about this contact us directly.
