All vehicles listed on UAEdriving Portal comes with comprehensive insurance in accordance with UAE laws, providing renters with a basic level of coverage while driving in the United Arab Emirates. However, for enhanced protection and peace of mind, we highly recommend adding a Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) to your rental contract. The CDW significantly reduces your financial liability in case of an accident where you are at fault by covering the excess amount you would otherwise have to pay.

Please note that obtaining a police report is still mandatory in the event of an accident, even with CDW coverage. Failing to provide a valid police report will render the insurance void. In the unfortunate circumstance of vehicle theft, it is essential to promptly notify both the police and the car rental company.

By opting for CDW, you can enjoy a worry-free driving experience and minimize your financial risks in case of unforeseen incidents.

When renting a car, it's essential to return the vehicle in the same condition as when you received it. This includes refilling the fuel to the same level, ensuring the car interior is free of any smoke smell, and checking for any new scratches or damage. As long as you maintain the vehicle in its original condition and adhere to the terms and conditions set by the car rental company, there should be no additional costs beyond the agreed-upon rental rate. However, failure to return the car in the same condition may result in extra charges for damages, cleaning, or fuel, so it's always a good idea to review the rental agreement and clarify any concerns with the rental company.

Dubai's Salik system offers a seamless driving experience across the UAE by electronically recording toll charges. As the renter or driver, you are responsible for covering these charges, which the rental company records through the RTA Salik system.

In the UAE, rental cars are equipped with essential features such as air conditioning (AC) and FM radio for a comfortable driving experience. Modern models may also include advanced amenities like Bluetooth connectivity, AUX input, USB ports for music playback and mobile charging, cruise control, reverse cameras, parking sensors, built-in navigation systems, sunroofs, power keys, and AirPlay compatibility. On request, UAEdriving may offer chargeable extras like GPS, baby or child seats to further enhance your rental experience.

All vehicles listed on the UAEdriving Portal come from reputable car rental companies and include comprehensive insurance coverage in compliance with UAE law. In case of an accident, if you are not at fault, there will be no insurance excess to pay. However, if you are found to be at fault, an insurance excess ranging from AED 1000 to AED 3000 may apply, depending on the vehicle type.

To further reduce your financial liability in the event of an accident, you have the option to add a Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) to your rental contract. This insurance coverage ensures a fundamental level of protection for renters while driving in the United Arab Emirates, while the optional CDW offers added peace of mind and financial security.

CDW insurance is the short form of Collision Damage Waiver which means that you are covered if there are any accidental damages to the car in a collision, no matter who is at fault. It is important to consider getting CDW insurance if your rental car comes with a standard insurance package. However, to claim this it is necessary to get a Police Report (whichever emirate you are in). 

Comprehensive insurance covers you in case of any accidental damage to the vehicle, provided it isn’t your fault. A police report proving the same with a green or white slip must be produced for the same. This kind of insurance is included within the rental price as per RTA regulations in the UAE.

Mileage limitation refers to the maximum distance you can drive your rental car without incurring additional costs. The specific mileage limit depends on the rental duration:

For daily rentals: 250 - 300 km
For weekly rentals: 1750 - 2500 km
For monthly rentals: 2500 - 4500 km

These mileage limits are included in the rental price. UAEdriving also offers an unlimited mileage option for daily and weekly rentals at an additional cost, allowing you to drive the rental car without worrying about exceeding the set limit.

If you experience a minor accident in a rental car, ensure everyone's safety, and move your vehicle to a safe location if possible. Contact the car rental company and follow their instructions. Obtain a police report, which is mandatory in the UAE, by calling the police or using the UAE Police app. Exchange contact and insurance information with other parties involved, and document the accident scene with photos. Keep all relevant documents and information, as they may be required by the rental company or for insurance purposes. Always adhere to the rental company's policies and local laws during this process.
