Tips for renting a car at Dubai Downtown
Before you rent:
Make an informed choice. We believe in providing you with options to choose the right car for your needs with complete price transparency. At U-Save, we prioritize your peace of mind, which means rental insurance with us is not overly complicated and you are assured you are properly insured.
When you collect your Vehicle:
Think ahead. It's a good idea to map out your trip in advance, especially if you're returning the rental car to an unfamiliar location or airport. Check your confirmation email to make sure you know where to meet your agent or where the rental desk, and save the contact details to your phone for quick access.
Bring the necessary documents. While we strive to make the check-in process as simple as possible, some information is required by law. Having your reservation information, driver's license, passport and credit card ready in advance can speed up your reservation process. If you choose to self-insure, make sure that you have verifiable proof of full coverage insurance at the time of rental pickup. If you are a local renter, make sure that you have all the information required by the location to confirm your ID and address.
Conduct a car inspection. Perform a detailed walk around inspection as soon as the vehicle is received to note any existing damage on the rental agreement. The five damage hotspots that we've discovered deserve special attention. You are shielded from responsibility when you return the vehicle by disclosing any existing damage prior to leaving the location.
While you rent:
Take care. Please be advised that depending on the rental coverage you chose, you could be responsible for any damage that occurs during the rental period. Take measures to reduce the possibility of collisions leading to dings and scratches, especially in congested parking areas.
When you return your vehicle:
Complete one more vehicle inspection. Conduct a second inspection during the return procedure, and no matter how little it may look, carefully record any damage. This approach enables us to handle your refund quickly while making sure you are completely insured. The five damage hotspots should receive special attention, just as they did during the initial assessment.

Car Rental in Dubai – Tips for driving in Downtown Dubai
Bur Dubai is well-connected yet dense with activity and attractions. Renting a car from the Al Rais Shopping Centre provides immediate access to Dubai’s bustling retail zones and cultural sites like Al Fahidi Historic District or Dubai Creek. You're also just minutes away from major highways — making trips to Downtown Dubai, Dubai Mall, or the Dubai Frame quick and convenient. A car gives you the flexibility to explore comfortably and efficiently.
Driving in Downtown Dubai and the surrounding Bur Dubai area is generally smooth and efficient, especially for those familiar with urban driving. Dubai has a modern, well-maintained road network with multilingual signage, making it accessible even to first-time international drivers. All driving is on the right-hand side, and overtaking is typically done on the left.
Speed limits in the city center are generally 40–60 km/h, depending on the area, and clearly posted. Major roads like Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Maktoum Bridge, and Al Khail Road are multilane highways where the speed limits can range from 80 to 100 km/h. Speed cameras are widespread, and penalties for speeding or running red lights are strict, so always drive within limits.
Traffic in Bur Dubai can be congested during rush hours, typically between 7–10 AM and 4–7 PM, so it’s wise to plan your trips accordingly. Navigation apps like Google Maps or Waze are highly accurate and help avoid construction zones or unexpected delays.
Parking in Dubai is widely available but mostly paid. Look for marked parking zones and use the RTA SMS system or mobile apps to pay your fare. Malls and shopping centers usually offer structured parking (some free, some paid), and the Al Rais Shopping Centre also has parking spaces available on-site or nearby.
Fuel prices in Dubai are relatively low compared to many other countries, and petrol stations are abundant, often offering services like car washes, mini-marts, and quick food options.
Driving etiquette in Dubai is a mix of local assertiveness and international courtesy. Use your indicators, give way to emergency vehicles, and be aware of sudden lane changes, especially on busy roads. While seat belts are mandatory for all passengers, it's also good practice to always carry your driver’s license, passport copy, rental agreement, and insurance documents in the car.
If you plan to explore beyond the city, rental cars are the perfect choice. From Bur Dubai, you can easily drive to Jumeirah, Marina, Palm Jumeirah, or even venture out to the desert resorts or Abu Dhabi for a day trip. Road signs are consistent and easy to follow, and long-distance roads are in excellent condition.
Luxury Car Rental in Dubai – Choose the best option for you

Choosing the right rental vehicle depends on your travel needs, whether it’s comfort, space, or terrain capability. SUVs are great for long road trips, offering a mix of comfort and versatility, especially if you're traveling through mixed terrains or unpredictable weather.
Vans are ideal for larger groups or cargo transport, perfect for family trips or business needs. MPVs (Multi-Purpose Vehicles) are a practical choice for urban driving with extra passenger space, making them a great middle ground between sedans and vans.
Pickup trucks excel in handling heavy loads and rugged environments, ideal for work or outdoor adventures. If you're tackling off-road trails or harsh conditions, a 4x4 provides the traction and durability needed for a safe and reliable drive. Choosing wisely ensures a smoother and more comfortable journey.

Renting a Car in Dubai Downtown – FAQs
How far is the city center from Dubai Airport?
Dubai International Airport is just 15–20 minutes from Downtown Dubai by car, depending on traffic.
What’s the nearest metro station?
Al Fahidi Metro Station, just a short drive or walk away, on the Green Line.
Is it easy to drive in Bur Dubai?
Yes! Roads are well-maintained, signage is bilingual, and navigation systems work reliably. Expect moderate traffic during peak times.
Are there toll roads in Dubai?
Yes. Dubai uses an electronic toll system called Salik. When passing under a Salik gate (marked with signage), your rental car is automatically charged. We typically invoice you after return, so no cash or tag is needed, but charges will be added to your rental bill.
Is it safe to drive in the UAE?
Yes, very safe! Roads are high quality, and traffic regulations are enforced. However, defensive driving is important due to the fast pace.
Are there any restricted areas in Downtown Dubai where cars are not allowed?
Yes. While most areas are accessible by car, certain parts of historical districts like Al Fahidi and Heritage Village may have pedestrian-only zones or restricted vehicle access. These zones are well-marked, and navigation apps usually warn drivers ahead of time. It’s best to park nearby and explore these on foot.
Can I drive my rental car from Bur Dubai to Downtown Dubai or other areas?
Absolutely. Bur Dubai is well-connected to Downtown Dubai, Deira, and Sheikh Zayed Road. You can drive across the Al Maktoum or Al Garhoud bridges in under 15–20 minutes depending on traffic. Toll gates (Salik) may apply on some routes, and rental companies will usually inform you of the toll policy.
Are there any special driving rules I should know in Downtown Dubai?
Yes. In addition to standard UAE driving laws, you should note that lane discipline is strictly enforced, and sudden lane changes without signaling can result in fines. Horn use is discouraged unless necessary, and tailgating is considered aggressive driving—also punishable. Dubai Police and RTA regularly monitor traffic with cameras, especially in central areas.
Is parking easy to find near the Al Rais Shopping Centre?
Parking is generally available but can be competitive during peak shopping hours. The Al Rais Shopping Centre has on-site parking, and nearby commercial buildings also offer spaces. RTA paid parking is common on surrounding streets—look for machines or use the RTA Dubai App or SMS system to pay. Avoid parking in unmarked or residential spots, which may lead to fines or towing.
