9 tips to save on your International Airport car rental near Dubai

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer enjoyment, or an economy car for extra luggage, utilise the filters on Expedia to assist you in finding the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance for some of the best rates: It is generally advisable to secure your DWC car rental as early as possible to benefit from lower rates and greater selection. Reserving your booking 1-3 months in advance is particularly recommended, especially prior to peak seasons.
  3. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, while certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—may have restricted availability. This may also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements before finalising your booking.
  4. Consider a budget-friendly car for savings: Smaller vehicles, such as economy or compact cars, are typically more affordable to rent and easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals provide a good balance of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals may stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid incurring extra charges. This is often the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which can also be acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Know your payment options: Most rental companies require a credit card in the driver's name for security deposits. Debit cards may not always be accepted.
  7. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides added peace of mind should something unexpected occur during your trip. It's easy to include car rental insurance when booking with Expedia.
  8. Check for unlimited mileage: If you plan to spend considerable time on the road, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent additional costs on longer journeys.
  9. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
