For a wider choice of cars and a faster pick-up process, it’s recommended that you book your Dubai International Airport car hire in advance. You’re also more likely to get a better deal. One thing you don’t need to sort out ahead of travelling is an International Driving Permit (IDP). A full UK driving licence is enough.

Once you’re behind the wheel, join the Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) to take a direct route into the city. While road infrastructure in Dubai is generally very good, be aware of your speed because the emirate has a lot of speed cameras.

Just a 15-minute drive from downtown Dubai, the city’s top attractions await. Go shopping in Dubai Mall, soak up the sun on the Palm Jumeirah beaches and gaze up at Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. Does an Arabian road trip appeal? Dubai borders Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the Sultanate of Oman, where you’ll find beaches, mountains and desert sunsets.

When it comes to returning your hire car, you’ll be pleased to know that some rental companies offer 24/7 convenience. But do check with staff before setting off for ultimate peace of mind.
