Question 1

How do I book a car on FastDrive?

Accepted Answer

Search by brand, budget, or body type. Pick the car you want, fill in your pickup date and location, upload your documents, and pay securely. Most bookings are confirmed within minutes. You'll get a confirmation by email and WhatsApp.

Question 2

Can tourists rent a car in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Visitors on a valid UAE visa can rent cars using their home country driving license and an International Driving Permit (IDP). GCC nationals and drivers from certain countries like the UK, USA, most EU countries, and Australia can drive directly with their home license.

Question 3

What documents do I need to rent a car in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

UAE residents: Emirates ID and UAE driving license. Tourists: passport, UAE visa, home country driving license, and International Driving Permit. All renters need a credit card in the primary driver's name for the security deposit.

Question 4

What's the minimum age to rent a car in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

21 for economy cars, 25 for luxury cars, and 25 to 28 for supercars depending on the model. Drivers under 25 may pay a small young driver surcharge on select rentals.

Question 5

Can I rent a car in Dubai without a credit card?

Accepted Answer

Some FastDrive partners offer zero deposit rentals, which don't require a credit card hold. Filter by "zero deposit" in search to see which cars qualify. Most standard rentals still require a credit card.

Question 6

Are there any hidden charges when renting a car in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

No. FastDrive shows every charge upfront: daily rate, insurance, security deposit, delivery fees, and any mileage overage costs. Salik tolls and traffic fines are the only exceptions, both based on your actual usage during the rental.

Question 7

What's included in the rental price?

Accepted Answer

Comprehensive insurance with Collision Damage Waiver, Third Party Liability, 24/7 roadside support, and a standard daily mileage allowance (usually 250 to 400 km). Salik tolls, traffic fines, and fuel are billed separately based on your usage.

Question 8

How does Salik toll work with rental cars?

Accepted Answer

Every rental car has an active Salik tag. Each toll gate crossing is AED 4 to 6 and is tracked automatically. At the end of your rental, the total Salik charge is deducted from your security deposit or billed to your card.

Question 9

Do I pay anything extra at pickup?

Accepted Answer

Only the security deposit, which is refunded after your rental ends. Everything else is paid online when you book. No surprise fees at the counter.

Question 10

How does the security deposit work?

Accepted Answer

The rental company places a hold on your credit card as a security deposit. Amounts range from AED 500 for economy cars to AED 20,000+ for supercars. It's released back to you 3 to 14 days after you return the car, assuming no damages or unpaid fines.

Question 11

Is insurance included in the rental?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every car on FastDrive includes comprehensive insurance as standard. Optional upgrades like Super Collision Damage Waiver, personal accident cover, and windscreen and tire protection are available for added peace of mind on most rentals.

Question 12

What happens if the car gets damaged during my rental?

Accepted Answer

If there's an accident, your insurance covers damage up to the excess amount shown in your rental agreement. Always file a police report for any accident, no matter how small, or your insurance won't pay out. The rental company will guide you through the process.

Question 13

Can I add a second driver to my rental?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Additional drivers can be added when booking or at pickup. They'll need to provide the same documents as the primary driver. Some partners charge a small daily fee, others include a second driver free.

Question 14

Can I get the car delivered to the airport or my hotel?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most FastDrive partners deliver free to Dubai International Airport, Al Maktoum Airport, hotels, and home addresses across Dubai. Paid delivery available to Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and other emirates. Delivery usually takes 1 to 3 hours within Dubai.

Question 15

How fast can I get a rental car in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

Most bookings are confirmed instantly after your documents are approved. Same-day pickup or delivery is available on most cars if you book before 6pm. Luxury and supercar rentals sometimes need 2 to 4 hours notice.

Question 16

Can I choose daily, weekly, or monthly rentals?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All three options are available. Weekly rentals save around 15 to 25 percent compared to daily rates. Monthly rentals save up to 40 percent and are the best value for residents, contractors, or long-stay visitors.

Question 17

Can I extend my rental?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Message the rental company via WhatsApp at least 24 hours before your return time. Extending to a weekly or monthly rate often saves you money if you're going longer than a few extra days.

Question 18

Is there a mileage limit on rental cars in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

Most rentals include 250 to 400 km per day, with weekly and monthly plans offering larger totals. Extra kilometers usually cost AED 0.50 to 1 per km. Unlimited mileage rentals are available on select cars.

Question 19

Can I drive the rental car to Abu Dhabi or Oman?

Accepted Answer

Yes to Abu Dhabi and all other emirates, this is included in every UAE rental. Oman trips require advance approval, an extra insurance fee, and a border permit from the rental company. Always ask before you book if you plan to leave the UAE.

Question 20

How is FastDrive different from other car rental websites?

Accepted Answer

FastDrive is a marketplace, not a single rental company. We aggregate verified partners across Dubai so you can compare real prices side by side. No commission added to your rental, no middlemen, and you deal directly with the rental company for pickup, support, and returns.
