For residents and visitors of Bur Dubai, daily travel is an essential part of life. While buses and the metro are available, convenience and speed often take priority.

What is included in the tariff and what to expect
- Full tank “full‑to‑full”: when delivering with an incomplete tank, the company requires an additional payment at the local fuel rate plus service.
- CDW insurance or a similar database is already included — you are protected from minor damage.
- Mileage is up to 200 km / day, then 0.5—1 AED / km, it is better to specify immediately.
- The deposit usually does not exceed 500-800 AED, sometimes you can rent without a deposit — the main thing is to specify in advance.
Where to look for offers
- Aggregators like RentRadar, KAYAK, and OneClickDrive often offer discounts on weekly or monthly rentals of budget Bur Dubai models.
- Local rental companies in the Al Fahidi and Satwa area offer favorable conditions for daily trips — you can save 10-15% compared to the airport.
- When renting for several days at once (“multi‑day”) or a weekly plan, the daily price is reduced to 70-85 AED.
Tips for daily trips
- Book 3-5 days in advance — this way you will get access to the best prices up to 85 AED/day.
- Check for parking along the route — many streets of Bur Dubai have limited free parking.
- Choose a car with Bluetooth and a trunk — it is convenient for trips to the office and shopping malls (BurJuman, Wafi Mall).
- Study the mileage conditions and restrictions. If you plan to travel more than 200 km/day, it is more profitable to choose unlimited right away.
- Take photos of the car upon receipt and delivery — to avoid claims for scratches and overkill.
