Is my driving licence valid in Dubai?

It depends on the issuing country and on your residence status. A visitor on a visit visa can drive on a GCC licence or a licence from a country on the RTA list; other licences need an International Driving Permit, and residents need a UAE licence.

The official list of accepted countries is published by Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority. If you send us a photo of your licence after booking, our team confirms before pickup whether your documents are enough or whether you need a permit.
