Dubai international Airport - T1 Guide

Car Hire

The largest airport in the Middle East is just five and a half miles from Dubai’s old city centre and 12 miles from its modern downtown area. The Dubai Metro runs a line between the airport and different areas of the city, while buses run from the airport to the Deira Terminus. Still, the quickest and most comfortable way to get into the city centre or the modern Dubai Marina area is with car rental in Dubai Airport.

Who to Book With
A vast number of internationally known car hire suppliers have kiosks at the airport, including Avis, Hertz, Budget and Thrifty. The majority have counters in Terminal 1, though some also have counters in terminals 2 and 3. Vehicles are picked up in the car park of the Arrivals terminal.

Need to Know Essentials
You will need to show the following documents at vehicle collection:

- Your driving licence, which you must have had for at least one year
- Your passport
- The credit card that was used to make the reservation
- An international drivers’ license

For more info read our FAQ's.

Driving
Driving in the morning and evening rush hours should be avoided as traffic tends to come to a complete standstill. Parking in the city is quite difficult to find, though many hotels will provide this for their guests. Most major routes in Dubai require motorists to pay a toll. Salik tags are usually provided by car hire suppliers and they will charge renters upon return of the vehicle. Credit cards are accepted at petrol stations but incur an additional commission fee of around £0.35 on top of the fees charged by the card company, and UK-issued cards may not always be accepted.

See our guide to the United Arab Emirates for more information on driving here.

Transport

Self-drive is the quickest way for passengers arriving at the airport to get into the city. The Metro runs fairly quickly but does not run from all terminals in the airport. As well, it stops running at 22:15 and does not operate at all on Friday mornings. Taxis are available 24 hours, but the rate rises after 22:00.

Trains
The Red Line of the Dubai Metro runs through the airport and takes around 20 minutes from Terminal 3 to the Burj Khalifa business centre. This also stops at Terminal 1. The Green Line runs from the Airport Free Zone, which is accessible via Terminal 2, taking around 11 minutes to reach Union Station. Tickets can be purchased directly in the Metro station at the airport and will cost around £0.70 for a single trip. A NOL card must be purchased to ride on the Dubai Metro, and information can be found at Roads and Transport Authority.

Taxis
Airport taxis are provided by the Dubai Transport Corporation, which is government owned and are cream coloured. They depart from the Arrivals areas of all three terminals. Fares increase between 20:00 and 06:00.

Taxi prices:
Dubai Airport to anywhere in Dubai is around £4.

Buses
Buses to get into the city are found at stations located opposite both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. The better buses are the newer air-conditioned airport shuttles that travel between the airport and most popular tourist areas of the city. The number 401 takes passengers to Al Sabkha, while the number 402 goes to Al Ghubaiba. These buses cost around £0.50, though travel time varies depending on how many stops are made along the way. There are also free shuttle buses that run between all terminals every 20 to 30 minutes.

What most people want to know

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).
