Minimum age to rent a car in Dubai

The minimum age to rent a car with Dubai Rent Car is 18 with a valid driving licence. Some cars may require a higher age, and this is shown on the car itself before you book, so you know in advance whether it suits you.

Where is the minimum age shown?

The required age is shown on every car page and in the booking form. When you send a booking, you confirm the driver is at least that age and holds a valid licence.

Why do some cars need a higher age?

Luxury, sports and exotic cars are more powerful and more valuable, so they may require a higher age or more driving experience. Our team explains the terms before confirming.

Tips for young drivers

  • Pick an economy car or a sedan, which are usually available from the general minimum age.
  • Make sure your licence is valid for the whole rental.
  • Keep to the speed limits: fines recorded during the rental are paid by the renter.
