Driver Requirements, Rules & Regulations

You may have questions about what requirements there are to drive and rent a car from Regal Assets Car Rentals Here you will find answers to our most frequently asked questions. You can find information about driver’s license requirements, returning your vehicle, additional drivers, and other scenarios. If you have any questions that are not answered on this page, you can contact the branch you would like to rent from.

What are the minimum age requirements?

Renters must be 25 years or above at the time of rental due to requirements imposed by our insurance company. However, exceptions can be made for younger customers on longer term leases.

What are the driving license requirements?

All drivers must carry a locally accepted driving license. Only UAE licenses are allowed for UAE residents (i.e. those that have a residence visa). UAE drivers licenses must be at least 6 months old (exceptions below).

Visitors are encouraged to have an international driving license along with their local drivers license prior to their arrival in the UAE and can rent from us for the whole period during which they are on a visit / tourist visa.

What documents do you require in order to rent a car?

    What’s the difference between a long term lease and a rental?

    Different companies use the terms differently, but in the UAE the differences between long term leases (contracts of 6 months or longer) and shorter term rentals (month to month, weekly, daily contracts) lie primarily in the rate paid per month, and the early-termination penalty associated with the contract.

    Long term lease customers generally receive much better monthly rates on their cars, and are given preference for new cars. While all our customers receive the best customer service in the industry, long term lease customers are treated especially well since we know they will be with us for a long time.

    Early termination penalties usually reflect the deep discount given to long term customers. The termination penalty on long term contracts is usually lower than the total savings gained by the customer during the contract period. For this reason, we always encourage our customers to avail of a long term lease contract if there is any chance that they will hire the car for more than 6 months.

    In other countries, car leases typically take the form of finance-leases, in which the customer’s monthly payment is simply the cost of financing the car, with no additional services provided. In the UAE, rental companies are required by-law to provide certain services (such as the maintenance of insurance and registration), meaning that leases are still a full-service offering.

    Do you have airport service surcharges?

    All vehicles picked up/dropped off at Dubai Airports will be charged an airport service surcharge.
