Why Rent a Luxury Car in Dubai

The answer is simple: To live your fantasies! To have a once-in-a-lifetime experience of driving a supercar equipped with the latest technology on the roads of Dubai!

Things to Look Out for When Hiring a Luxury Car in Dubai
Renting a car in Dubai is quite a hassle-free affair if you have all the required documents at hand, have done some research beforehand, and know where to look.
So, to avoid the trouble here are some tips for hiring a luxury car in Dubai:
1. Choose a Renowned Rental Company
You’ll find luxury car rental companies in every nook and cranny of Dubai. But, you can’t just pick any company! You need to find the best one. For this, you’ll have to carry out a bit of research.
Ask the locals or your friends in Dubai about the best luxury car hire service. If not, then use the power of Google to search for a company that has a solid online presence and good reviews.
Another thing to consider is for how long has the company been around? If it has been around for several years, you can go for it without a second thought. But beware of companies that have just popped up a few weeks ago. They might be good and promising with their pricing, but just to be on the safe side, we would suggest going for one that has a reputation.
2. Pre-Book Your Luxury Car
It’s a rat race out there when it comes to renting a luxury car in Dubai! One minute the car is available, and the next somebody has already hired it.
To avoid such a situation where you miss renting your dream supercar by nanoseconds, we advise renting your car beforehand, either online or by a call.
3. Documents to Keep at Hand
Renting a car is quick and easy if you have all the required documents with you. After all, they need some sort of proof of identity before handing over an exotic car to someone!
You must have your passport, visit visa, driving license of your home country, and an international driving permit with you to be eligible to rent a luxury car.
4. Age Limit
You must be at least 21 years old or 25 (according to some car rental companies) to be able to rent a car in Dubai, although the legal driving age in the UAE is 18.
5. Check the Car Thoroughly
Once the car rental company hands over the car, check it thoroughly for any existing scratches or dents, or other damage to the interior or exterior. Make sure the car is working fine and all the buttons are operational.
Also, don’t forget to take the contact number of the car rental company or the person who is dealing with you. In case something goes wrong, you can easily contact them so they can arrange for a backup or have you picked.
6. Insurance
Don’t be in a rush to jump in your wheels; read every bit of the fine print of your contract to understand exactly what you’re covered for in the event anything goes wrong. It’s quite possible that your standard travel insurance policy may not cover your excess in the event of an accident if you’re hiring a sports car or supercar, rather than a standard rental car.
Driving in Dubai isn’t for the faint-hearted. Even minor bingles can cost you a fortune if you’re not adequately insured, and you can be sure the rental company will pass those charges on to you, especially if you’ve refused their additional insurance.
Check what your own travel insurance will cover you for and if you think there may be any holes or grey areas in the policy, err on the side of caution and take out the extra insurance.

Now that you’re aware of some of the top companies that specialize in exotic car hires, let us take you through the list of things to know when renting a luxury car in Dubai.
Alternatives to Renting a Luxury Car in Dubai
While renting exotic cars in Dubai is a common practice, many don’t have the luxury to do so. Or even if you do, you have to follow the speed limit of 120 km/h (OK, there’s a 20km “buffer” before you get a fine in Dubai), so really the fastest you can legally go on the open road is 140km/h.
So, does this mean your dream of riding in a supercar will remain just a dream? Does this mean you’ll ride a sports car at regular speed?
I think not!
If you’re in Dubai for a short time, can’t rent a luxury car for the day, or want to experience the thrill of riding a supercar at top speed, here is an alternate option to car rentals:
Dubai Autodrome
The Dubai Autodrome has a 5.39 km long race track where you can unleash the true potential of your sports car! It has a collection of trophy sports cars that you hire on a per-hour basis.
For instance, you can ride the Formula DXB Max on the 2.46 km club circuit for four 20-minute sessions for 630 AED. Similarly, if you want to ride a BMW M5, you pay 840 AED for 3 hours. And, to have the true Grand Prix experience, you can try out the Ferrari GT for 1000 AED for a good 3 hours.
Plus, if you’re a resident of Dubai and own a sports car, you can bring it to the Autodrome and test it out!
