Dubai car hire with SIXT
SIXT offers the car hire services you'll need in vibrant Dubai. We cover all the airport locations and can also be found in prominent areas of the city centre, close to the main highways. We offer first-class vehicles at economy prices, whether you're on business and need an air-conditioned saloon, or want to explore the surrounding desert in a serious 4x4. We only source cars from premium brands, and you're assured of a new car, on average only three months old. Our friendly agents are all English speakers who can help you around the clock. You'll also get the option of free cancellation if you choose to pay on arrival.
SIXT services in Dubai
Our Dubai car hire services are flexible, including weekly and long-term car hire. Choose from a very wide selection of vehicles, tailored to the various reasons that people visit the Emirate. Business is a top priority, so we offer compact and economy cars to quickly get around, as well as luxury models. Tourists can avail themselves of these cars too, and can also get MPVs, convertibles and sport models, which are eminently suited to this car-mad city. Bookable extras include the always essential sat nav, and child seats for families and people visiting with young ones.
What to do in Dubai
Dubai is a hyper-modern city, with famous landmarks like the towering Burj Khalifa and the indoor ski slope at the Mall of the Emirates. Conversely, take a ferry across the creek to Old Dubai to see its history and its souks, or markets – the gold souk is a real eye-opener. Or treat yourself to a drive through the beautiful desert just on the outskirts of the city – the tarred road is excellent.
Summer in Dubai
Contrary to the UK, in summer you'll want to stay indoors as much as possible. So, use your car hire in Dubai to visit the Al-Fahidi Fort. It's a superb museum, containing a complete history of the region, including prehistoric artefacts. Next door to it is the Dhow Wharfage, where you can browse the trading areas for hours. And then marvel at the Dubai Frame - you can't miss it. It's best experienced at sunset.
Dubai driving information
- Our Dubai Airport desk is located in the car rentals area of Terminal 1 while there is also a SIXT desk at Terminal 3. Once you've picked up your hire car it takes just 15 minutes on the E11 road to reach the city centre.
- Dubai has excellent roads but ongoing construction works can lead to temporary closures and diversions. A sat nav helps you avoid these problems. The city roads become very congested during morning and evening peak hours. Several roads have toll charges, Salik tags on rental cars automatically register these and you will be charged when you return your vehicle.
- There are plenty of parking options in Dubai either in metered street zones or clearly marked parking areas. Payment can be made by cash, SMS or by downloading an app on your phone.
- If you are heading out of Dubai and driving elsewhere in the UAE, you can reach Abu Dhabi in around an hour and 30 minutes on the E11. The third most populous city Sharjah is around 20 miles north of the centre of Dubai and can be driven to in 50 minutes.The oasis town of Al Ain is a longer 90-mile drive south of Dubai.
