Dubai is a city of superlatives where every journey is an adventure. To explore these wonders, having a rented vehicle is more convenient. However, before going for car rental services, there are some things that should be checked. 

At Falcon Drive, we believe that mobility should be seamless, transparent, and exhilarating. We built our platform and services to eliminate the guesswork. 

1. The Real-World Total Price (Eliminate Hidden Fees):

Never settle for the advertised daily rate. Traditional rental companies are masters of the upsell and the surcharge. Before confirming, ensure your final price is all-inclusive.

Falcon Drive Innovation: We use a True Cost pricing model. Our digital contract summary aggregates mandatory fees upfront, such as VAT and mandatory insurance, clearly separated from optional add-ons. No classic "counter shock."

2. Compulsory Insurance versus Super Coverage-Know Your Liability:

Also, TPL is mandatory in Dubai and is included in all rentals. It covers damages to others. The CDW, on the other hand, covers your rental car in case of damage and almost always comes with a deductible-an excess amount you will have to pay.

3. The blocking cash timelines and amount -The Security Deposit:

Every car rental company blocks a security deposit on your credit card. This deposit covers traffic fines-Salik tolls, speeding-minor damages, and late return fees. Exact amount of deposit and specific date/period when it is released - normally 14-30 days after return. This has to be so because the fines for traffic are often only registered electronically, some weeks later.

4. Mileage Caps and Excessive Kilometre Fees:

If you plan to drive from Dubai to Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, or wider UAE, the mileage will add up real fast. Most standard daily contracts include a limit; for instance, 250 km/Day. If you're renting monthly, find a high-mileage package or unlimited mileage. Falcon Drive offers tiered monthly subscriptions tailored for different driving habits.

5. Fuel Policy: Full-to-Full is King:

The fuel policy can be a notorious point of contention. Full-to-Full is the industry standard and most transparent.

Make sure to pick up the car with a full tank and confirm that you will return it full. Avoid the "pre-pay for a tank" option because it rarely saves money, and you won't get any of that money back if you don't use all the fuel.

Conclusion:

The renting of a car in Dubai should be a pit-stop, not an obstacle course. At Falcon Drive, we’ve engineered our entire service around this list of checks. We are here to put you in the driver’s seat faster, with full confidence. Go ahead and drive into Falcon Drive to experience the gold standard of car rentals tailor-made for the modern world without any hassles from ancient times.
