Contact a rental car company that specializes in leasing cars in Dubai. Thrifty Car Rental and Budget Rent A Car offer long-term, short-term and corporate leasing options for UAE visitors. They can also help with registration, lease payment and insurance options for Dubai residents.
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.
Shop around by clicking on Dubai car rental website's "Leasing Inquiry Forum" or email customer service for lease rates. Inquire if insurance, fees, and taxes are included in your quote. Ask if maintenance is included in costs, and the time frame for service and repair.
Bring a valid copy of your driver's license, passport if you're an overseas traveler, and a credit card to a Dubai car leasing company. Keep a copy of your contract with you at all times, and ask about emergency roadside assistance.
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.
