Stay Within UAE
A rental car is not allowed to be driven outside the border of UAE unless you have permission from the car rental agency. Taking it on drive without them knowing can be a chargeable penalty.
Authentic Permit
If you are a tourist looking for car rentals then you must have an international driving license or your home country license. If you are a local or resident with a work visa then it’s mandatory for you to have a UAE registered driving license.
Insurance
Even if you buy insurance at an extra cost, be aware that it does not cover if the car has been stolen or damaged while driving. If your company has informed you that the insurance will cover such an incident then you may trust them.
Security Payment
A rental car agency will ensure that you keep a security deposit with them. Either by paying with card or cash. You can say it is kind of mandatory. It acts as a guarantor that you will come back and not run away.
Fine Charges
If a car comes up with a fine for overspeeding or breaking any rules or regulations of driving then the driver who has issued the car must pay the fine.
Accident
While renting a car if you happen to get into an accident then you must right away inform the police. There is a huge chance that you will end up paying the fees even if you are not at fault. If the car is acting up then it’s the drivers duty to inform the rental company. In such scenarios, you may be saved and the company will cover the charges.
Age Limit
If you are above the age of 25 then you are permitted to drive in the UAE. The country takes strict action for underage driving if caught.
