Top tips for renting a car at Dubai Airport
- Car hire at Dubai Intl Airport (DXB) is a convenient option when leaving the airport as you will be able to drive in comfort with air-conditioning and avoid the crowded public transport services with your luggage. It will also give you the freedom and flexibility of exploring Dubai city and other outlying areas, without having to negotiate other transport options, which may be limited in some areas.
- At just under 3 miles from Dubai Airport, you can easily reach the centre of Dubai with your hire car by the Airport Road, the D89. Follow the signs out of the airport to the E11 and then merge onto the Sheikh Rashid Road still on the E11 to get you into the city centre in less than 10min. The E11 motorway will also connect you to other locations and to Abu Dhabi in around 1h 30min. It is worth considering accommodation with parking in the city, however, you can find roadside parking and parking lots available. Remember to park in Zone C or D of the city, which are areas reserved for non-commercial vehicles.
- Be mindful of rush hour times in the morning and evenings around Dubai’s roads, which can get very congested, especially along the airport access roads. Busy times tend to fall between 06:30-08:30 in the morning and again at 17:30-20:00 in the evenings. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time for your return journey. The best day to travel in Dubai is on a Friday when the roads are quieter. There is a refuelling station at the airport, and you can also find an Emarat fuel station on Damascus Street, which is open 24h and near to the airport terminals.
- Numerous services are available in all Dubai Airport terminals, including refreshments, lounges, baby-care facilities and medical services. In Terminal 3, you can also find shower facilities in the spa centre, which are useful after a long flight before you get into your hire car.
- Book your rental car at Dubai Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
FAQs about renting a car at Dubai Airport
Where can I find a car hire at Dubai Intl Airport?
You can find Dubai Intl Airport car hire desks in all the airport’s main terminals, 1-3 in the Arrivals area, with the majority located in Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. Some are open 24h for your convenience, make sure to check with your rental company for the closing hours if this applies to avoid any complications for your journey. It is also advisable to check your arrival terminal to coincide with your car rental desk as there is no shuttle service between some of the terminals, although you will find a courtesy shuttle service to the car facility after retrieving your booking.
Which car hire at Dubai Intl Airport is easiest to access?
Try using Hertz car hire at Dubai Intl Airport as they have offices in both Terminals 1 and 3 in the Arrivals area.

Pros:
One lady very good and quick taking care of customers.Cons:
It's impossible to understand how much they are going to charge. They tried to increase the price of the car of a lot of money. Thankfully I had the email showing the price I had reserved it for. They overcharge for deposits through a 3rd party company and they are not sure when the deposit will be returned, if it will be returned, as several people had issues with it. The deposit is $1000. There was a nice lady working there. 2 men standing next to her didn't want to help us out, one asked the other to help and he said no! When returned the car and asked for a receipt with charges they tried to tell us they would have emailed us. Not very professional!10.0 Wonderful

I went there with all the necessary documents. After some time waiting, they informed me that they didn't have the car I rented, nor any other car in the upgrade. Even though I have reserved the car way before AND paid for it AND called to confirm a day before, they did not have the car... I still didn't receive my refund by the way. They did offer a downgrade, but I couldn't send back home one of my kids with two bags!Sixt

May 2018
Pros:
NothingCons:
We booked and had a confirmation email with the price for the rental for 8 days. When we arrived the person at the desk had all our reservation information but said the price was 4 times what our email said. When we showed him the confirmation stating the vehicle and the price, he said “I cannot do that price, this is my best price” and the amount was four times our confirmed reservation amount. We have since checked back to see if we misunderstood the email but no, they just offer one price online and then when you get there adjust the price and will not honor the confirmation from online. The worst part is when this was happening the guy behind us in line said “oh yeah they do that all the time, every time I rent with europcar they charge way more than when you originally book, it’s a huge scam” he said the only reason he uses them is because it is a company card so not his money. I would NEVER use them again. We had to scramble to find another company last minute and got a car from them for a more reasonable rate.2.0 Poor
Apr 2018
Cons:
I booked the vehicle in AED(local currency in Dubai) and I have an email confirmation for this, but when I got to the rental desk I was told the amount would need to be paid in dollars. So the reservation turned out almost 4 times the amount. Even though I had an email confirmation with the currency clearly written in AED, they would not honor it. They already had the slowest and most pathetic service I’ve ever experienced in my life, so I went ahead and just paid the amount to save my time. I highly would not recommend this company.10.0 Wonderful

This branch Terminal 2 offered me a vehicle with poor maintenance. My family and I could have died on the highway when it malfunctioned. The staff couldnt care less about our situation and Mangosh even told me that ‘this is the Emirates, we are different, we dont offer the services you are asking for’. The team was deceitful and rude. I reported this branch to consumer protection services. If you dont want to die, avoid renting. I’ve contacted my credit card company to dispute payment to them. Kayak should not promote them.5.2 Fair

They tried to charge me an extra 50 USD just to drop off in AD when it was clearly included in the original booking, then they added 50 AED for airport pickup when again, the booking was originally front the airport. Basically a load of hidden fees. Borderline scam. And the car was a bit old and dirty.2.0 Poor
Jan 2018
Cons:
We arrived at DXB to find that the rental agency Payless no longer existed at DXB. The phone number provided by the booking service is not in service. We were stranded and our only options were to take taxis or book expensive last minute car rentals on the spot. We opted for taxis and public transportation as the other rental options were too expensive. We were surprised and let down. I know now not to rely on Kayak.8.0 Very good
