No, car rental in Dubai is quite affordable. Economy cars start from just AED 50 per day (about $14 USD), making Dubai one of the most competitively priced car rental markets in the world. For comparison: economy cars AED 50-80/day, mid-size sedans AED 80-150/day, SUVs AED 150-350/day, and luxury cars AED 500-1,500/day. Monthly rentals offer even better value with discounts of 30-50% compared to daily rates. Fuel is also inexpensive in the UAE, and parking is widely available and affordable throughout Dubai.

Monthly car rental is significantly cheaper than daily rates in Dubai. A car that costs AED 80 per day (AED 2,400 for 30 days) will typically cost only AED 1,500-1,800 per month - saving you 25-40%. For example: economy cars drop from AED 70/day to AED 1,200/month, SUVs from AED 200/day to AED 3,500/month, and luxury cars from AED 700/day to AED 12,000/month. If you need a car for more than 2 weeks, monthly rental almost always offers better value. Many rental partners also include free maintenance and insurance in monthly rates.

Most car rentals in Dubai require a security deposit, typically AED 1,000-3,000 for economy cars and AED 5,000-10,000 for luxury vehicles. However, some rental partners on Autorentify offer 'no deposit' or 'reduced deposit' options where the deposit is waived or reduced to AED 500. These options may require a higher daily rate or credit card pre-authorization. The deposit is fully refundable and returned within 7-21 days after the car is returned without damage or traffic fines. We clearly indicate deposit requirements when you browse vehicles.

No, Autorentify ensures transparent pricing with no hidden fees. The price you see includes the daily/weekly/monthly rental rate and comprehensive insurance. Additional optional costs are clearly displayed: security deposit (refundable), airport delivery (AED 50-100), additional driver (AED 10-15/day), GPS device (AED 10-15/day), child seat (AED 10-15/day), and additional insurance coverage (optional). If you receive traffic fines during your rental, these will be charged along with an administrative fee (typically AED 20-50 per fine). All charges are itemized in your booking confirmation.

The rental price includes: comprehensive insurance coverage, 24/7 roadside assistance, basic maintenance during rental period, unlimited mileage (or specified limit clearly stated), and customer support. Most rentals also include one additional driver at no extra cost. The price does NOT include: fuel (you return the car with same fuel level), Salik toll charges (Dubai toll roads), traffic fines if incurred, optional extras (GPS, child seats), airport delivery fees, and security deposit (which is refundable). All inclusions and exclusions are clearly shown when you book.

Yes, we offer substantial discounts for long-term rentals. Weekly rentals save 15-20% compared to daily rates, and monthly rentals save 30-50%. For example, a car at AED 100/day becomes AED 600/week (instead of AED 700) and AED 2,000/month (instead of AED 3,000). Rentals longer than 3 months can save up to 60%. We also offer seasonal promotions during Dubai Shopping Festival, summer months, and Ramadan. Corporate clients and returning customers get additional loyalty discounts.
