Hiring a car is a reasonably easy process, just make sure you go with the correct documents and you will be driving away your dream car (probably a Yaris). You can use your UK driving licence to hire a car until you have your resident visa. You must convert your license before driving in the UAE once your Visa has been issued. This is what you need:
A credit card for the deposit (a UK credit card will be fine, just for a pre-authorisation).
Your UK license (only the Photocard is required).
Money to pay for it.
Hire Companies
There are many companies that you can try – be sure to shop around and read your contract carefully before signing. Any Salik is just paid at the end of each month and is charged at AED5 per toll gate.
A number of care hire agencies will be present at the school during your first week of induction.
Be careful with the smaller companies. They may offer you a good deal but will hit you with every charge under the sun at the end of the contract. Also you will probably see adverts for amazing deals such. These are usually limited mileage and on a 3 year lease.
