Renting a supercar in Dubai is not only luxurious, but it is also an experience that can be remembered once in lifetime. Dubai is the dream playground of every supercar fan, whether it is created to drive up the Sheikh Zayed Road in a Lamborghini Huracan or zooming through a skyline of desert dunes in a Ferrari.
However you better be informed in order to know what you are getting yourself into before you grab up the keys to your dream machine. Between paper work, excessive expenses and traffic regulations, this article will take you through the 5 main considerations to make before getting yourself a super car in Dubai, in order to ensure that you have a sweet experience with no hassles.
1. Driving License and Age Requirements
First of all, ensure that you can legally drive in UAE. In most cases, tourists are only required to use the home country drivers license to rent supercars, although you will require an International Driving Permit (IDP) in certain cases depending on what country you are based in. The residents will require a valid UAE driving license.
In addition, in the majority of the best rental services (Lavish Cars being one of them), one must be at least 21 and, in the case of a superhigh-end car such as a Ferrari F8 or McLaren 720S, 25+. This should always be verified in advance so as not to get disappointed upon arrival.
2. Insurance Coverage and Security Deposit
Supercars are expensive cars and their insurance is not negotiable. It is always important to see the type of coverage that is covered in your rental. Most companies have the basic third party cover included, but to have absolute peace you should have a comprehensive cover or collision damage waiver (CDW).
And you will be asked to provide a refundable security deposit which normally ranges between AED 5,000 to AED 10000 depending on the car. This is supposed to act as a protection against any possible fines, damages, or tolls as far as traffic is concerned. Be sure to enter a real credit card, and check the refund policy, which, as a rule, lasts 21-30 days after the completed rental.
3. Check the Vehicle Condition Thoroughly
Take a look (both outside and inside) at the car before driving off. Record and take pictures and or videos of scratches, dents, and interior marks of the vehicle in all angles. This ensures that you do not get into trouble of repairing damage that had occurred before you borrowed the car.
We inspect the car with the customer at Lavish cars and tell our customer so that it is all on paper. Our company also offers a checklist written that indicates the level of fuel, the state of tires, and the cosmetic appearance. This step is not of a rush, since your deposit is at stake here.
4. Understand Mileage Limits and Fuel Policy
It is common to find supercar rentals in Dubai, with this type of vehicle having upper limits regarding the number of kilometers accessible in a single day, with the boundaries set at 150 to 250 km per day. With any further additional mile, you may lose AED 10-30 depending on the type, to be specific, on the model. In case you are going on a road trip to Abu Dhabi or Ras Al Khaimah, it is always better to determine the total distance of this round trip.
In addition, look at the fuel policy. Majority of the rentals are based on a full-to full lease- that is you are given a car fueled and you are supposed to leave it fueled. Otherwise, the extra costs can be refueling services and a service fee. Supercars also consume lot of fuel quick, and be ready to make stops once you are handling it hard.
5. Know the UAE Traffic Laws and Fines
Dubai has very strict traffic regulations particularly regarding speed and lane regulations. The city is full of cameras, and with fines, it is one thing that can add up just too fast; or in a speedy car. The most frequent errors are speeding, illegal overtaking, phone use when driving and these can be fined AED 400-3,000 or are even higher.
Also, resisting the urge to rev or drift in populated areas and places, over-speeding results in rather severe punishments and the termination of your rental agreement, right now. Drive well and obey the instructions of the GPS. At Lavish Cars we offer prompt advice on safe areas where one can engage in spirited driving (such as outside the city on highways).
