ChatGPT said: Are there traffic jams on the roads in Dubai?
Yes. On average, there are two people per car in Dubai, which contributes to traffic congestion. Local authorities are actively working to address this issue, and the situation is gradually improving, but it’s not fully resolved yet. The most severe traffic jams typically occur on the highway connecting Dubai and the emirate of Sharjah.
What type of fuel should I use?
Dubai gas stations offer two types of petrol — Super (98) and Special (95). An Arenda Car Rental representative will advise you on which fuel is suitable for your rental car. When refueling, you don’t need to leave your vehicle; simply tell the attendant the fuel type and the amount of liters you want to fill.
How much does parking cost in Dubai?
The answer depends on the type of parking:
-
Shopping malls and entertainment centers usually offer designated free parking areas.
-
Hotels and restaurants provide valet parking services, where you hand over your car to an attendant who parks it for you. This service may be free or paid.
-
On-street parking zones in the city are usually paid, with rates starting at around $0.55 per hour.
-
How to pay for parking in Dubai?
If you use paid parking, you can pay in two ways:
-
At a parking meter — insert the required number of coins, press OK, and wait for the machine to print a receipt. Place the receipt visibly under your car’s windshield.
-
Via SMS — from a mobile phone with a UAE number, send an SMS to 7275 with the text: “Car number, zone number, number of hours.”
For example:
O44970 363K 4
This means: car number O 44970, zone 363K, parking for 4 hours.-
Is smoking allowed in the car?
No. Smoking is not only discouraged but also punishable by a fine.
Is it allowed to transport alcoholic beverages in a rental car?
UAE law permits transporting alcoholic beverages in a vehicle only if you have the proper license. If you carry a small amount of alcohol, especially Duty-Free purchases for personal use, the police tend to be lenient. However, transporting quantities that clearly indicate commercial intent can lead to serious consequences for both the driver and the rental company.
The rental period has ended. Who will collect the car from me and return it to the rental company?
Our driver will deliver the car to you in Dubai and, when the rental period ends, will pick it up from the location most convenient for you to return the vehicle.
