Please note, that in order to rent in Emirates a vehicle with capacity which exceeds 8 passengers, you would need a driving license of the corresponding category.
Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Ras Al Khaima.
Before leaving the parking garage in Ras Al Khaima, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

Popular questions on rental process
Driving without license is considered one of the most serious traffic violations. In addition to the fine of 1-6000 dirhams, the offender will face a prison sentence of one to six months.
We simply cannot forget to mention good quality of local roads. All the roads in the country are well-organized and maintained. Virtually all large crossroads have traffic loops, thanks to which it is possible to turn right, escaping the traffic light. Such numerous small improvements make driving a lot easier and save a lot of time for local drivers who do not need to stand in endless traffic jams.
The system of penalties in the United Arab Emirates is also quite specific. The police stops the driver only if he has committed a serious violation (for example, has passed a red light or has driven on the opposite lane). In this case, the penalty bill will be given to the driver right on the spot.
