      Compare costs of a lease versus a rental. If you only need to lease for a short-time, or will travel outside of Dubai often, a rental car may be cheaper. Ask a local rental car provider like Autolease UEA about long-term rates and discounts.

      Find out if your own car insurance or credit cards insures you for a rental car or lease. If not, ask the Dubai leasing agency about insurance options, coverage options and costs. Study Dubai FAQ's website for information on different types of Dubai car insurance. Some providers may not offer coverage for cars driven off-road.

      Ask to see the car before you finalize the contract. Look for scratches, dents and damage, and ask that it be recorded into your lease. Request that a manager or leasing agent sign next to the notes regarding damage, and then sign it yourself.
