What documents does a tourist need to rent a luxury car in Abu Dhabi?

A tourist presents a passport with the entry stamp, a home-country driving licence and, unless the driver’s nationality may drive in the UAE on a national licence, an International Driving Permit. A credit card in the main driver’s name is needed for the refundable deposit. Jumaira Rent A Car confirms which licence rules apply to each nationality before travel, so nothing is discovered at handover.

Is a deposit held on luxury car rental in Abu Dhabi?

Yes. Jumaira Rent A Car holds a refundable deposit on a credit card in the main driver’s name for self-drive luxury and exotic car rental in Abu Dhabi. Because traffic fines can take several weeks to appear against a vehicle, the deposit is released once that period has passed, not on the day the car is returned.

What is the minimum age to rent a sports car in Abu Dhabi?

The exotic and sports class carries its own minimum-age and licence-held conditions, beyond the general self-drive guideline of 21 or older. Jumaira Rent A Car confirms the conditions for the chosen car at the time of booking rather than at handover.

Can I rent a Rolls-Royce with a chauffeur in Abu Dhabi?

Yes. The Rolls-Royce Ghost is the Rolls-Royce that works best chauffeur-driven: it has four doors, rear seats an adult can use and boot space for cases. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan, a premium SUV, is also available chauffeur-driven. The two-door Wraith and Dawn suit short showpiece runs rather than a full evening. The chauffeurs come from SA Transport, the chauffeur company in the same group, and are uniformed and speak English and Arabic.

Which luxury car suits a long drive out of Abu Dhabi?

A premium SUV such as the Nissan Patrol, Toyota Land Cruiser 300 or Land Rover Defender is generally the better choice for a long drive, especially where part of the route may leave the surfaced road. Exotic and sports cars are for tarmac only, so tell the team at booking if any part of the route is unpaved.

Can I drive a rented luxury car from Abu Dhabi to Dubai?

Yes. Travel between the emirates is normally permitted on a self-drive rental from Jumaira Rent A Car, which has offices in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The rental agreement sets out the mileage allowance and how Darb tolls in Abu Dhabi and Salik tolls in Dubai are handled. Taking the car out of the UAE needs insurance cover and written permission arranged in advance, and is not possible on every car in the exotic class.

What happens if a rented luxury car breaks down in Abu Dhabi?

Call the operations desk of Jumaira Rent A Car and SA Transport, which is staffed 24 hours a day. The desk arranges recovery and, where one is available, a replacement vehicle from the same class. After an accident, a police report is required in the UAE before any damage can be repaired or claimed, so report the incident and obtain the report before the car is moved for repair.

Luxury Car Rental Abu Dhabi | Jumaira Rent A Car

Jumaira Rent A Car is a car rental company with offices in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, offering luxury sedans, premium SUVs and exotic sports cars for self-drive hire on daily, weekly and monthly terms, with chauffeur-driven hire available through its sister company SA Transport.

Jumaira Rent A Car is the rental company of the SA Transport group, which has operated in the UAE for more than twenty years. In Abu Dhabi the group works from its office at 43 Al Amthal Street, Al Danah, E18-03, and its operations desk is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The name is sometimes misspelt “Jumeirah Rent A Car”; the company is not connected to the Jumeirah hotel group or the Jumeirah district.

Jumaira Rent A Car delivers luxury cars to a hotel, residence or office in Abu Dhabi, or the car can be collected from the Abu Dhabi office. Every vehicle is a current model and fully insured, and every hire is quoted individually and confirmed in writing before the car is handed over.

Which luxury cars can I rent in Abu Dhabi?

Jumaira Rent A Car rents luxury sedans such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, premium SUVs such as the Range Rover Vogue and Nissan Patrol, and exotic cars such as the Ferrari Portofino and Rolls-Royce Ghost in Abu Dhabi, from the same group fleet that serves Dubai. Models listed are indicative of each class, and the exact vehicle and its availability are confirmed in writing at the time of booking.

Luxury sedans — Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series and Audi A8, with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Audi A6 for everyday executive use.
Premium SUVs — Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Bentley Bentayga, Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600, Mercedes-AMG G63, Range Rover Vogue, Range Rover Sport, Lexus LX600, Land Rover Defender, Nissan Patrol, Toyota Land Cruiser 300, GMC Yukon Denali and Cadillac Escalade.
Exotic and sports cars — Ferrari F8 Tributo, Ferrari Portofino, Lamborghini Huracán, Lamborghini Urus, McLaren 720S, Porsche 911, Audi R8 and Chevrolet Corvette C8, with the Rolls-Royce Ghost, Wraith and Dawn and the Bentley Continental GT as grand tourers.

Everyday models such as the Nissan Sunny, Mitsubishi Attrage and Toyota Yaris are also available; see car rental in Abu Dhabi.

Can I rent a luxury car in Abu Dhabi with a chauffeur?

Yes. Luxury sedans and premium SUVs can be hired self-drive or chauffeur-driven. Chauffeurs are provided by SA Transport, the group’s chauffeur company, and are uniformed and speak English and Arabic.

In the exotic class, the Rolls-Royce Ghost is the car that works properly chauffeured, with four doors, full rear seats and boot space. Two-seat supercars such as the Ferrari F8 Tributo and McLaren 720S are rented for self-drive, as they leave a passenger one low seat and no room for luggage. Where a visitor’s licence cannot be used for self-drive, the sedans, the SUVs and the Rolls-Royce Ghost remain available through the chauffeur service in Abu Dhabi.

Which luxury car should I rent in Abu Dhabi?

Jumaira Rent A Car matches the class to the trip: a luxury sedan for business, a premium SUV for families and long drives, and an exotic car or grand tourer for an occasion.

Visiting executives — a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series or Audi A8 suits meetings, ministry appointments and hotel arrivals, with rear-cabin space for working between stops.
Family visits — a Nissan Patrol, Toyota Land Cruiser 300, GMC Yukon Denali or Cadillac Escalade seats four in comfort with full luggage, or seven at a squeeze with luggage reduced to hand bags.
Long drives — drives out of the city, where the last stretch may leave the tarmac, suit a premium SUV such as the Nissan Patrol, Toyota Land Cruiser 300 or Land Rover Defender. Exotic and sports cars are restricted to tarmac.
Occasions — weddings are the most common reason to book an exotic car, followed by photo and film shoots, brand launches and milestone birthdays. For a couple who want to be driven, the Rolls-Royce Ghost is the natural choice.

At Zayed International Airport, a supercar does not suit a family with suitcases. A chauffeur-driven airport transfer in a sedan or SUV, with the exotic car delivered afterwards, is the practical arrangement.

What documents and deposit do I need to rent a luxury car in Abu Dhabi?

To rent a luxury car in Abu Dhabi, residents present a UAE driving licence, Emirates ID and passport copy, and visitors present a passport, a home-country licence and, where required, an International Driving Permit. Payment is taken in advance, before the car is released.

Deposit — a refundable deposit is held on a credit card in the main driver’s name. Because traffic fines take time to register against a vehicle, the deposit is released after that period, not on the day the car is returned.
Insurance excess — comprehensive insurance is included, and an insurance excess applies in the event of a claim. The amount is stated in the rental agreement.
Driver age — drivers are generally 21 or older, subject to the minimum age the insurer sets, and the exotic and sports class carries its own minimum-age and licence-held conditions. Additional drivers must be named on the agreement before they drive.
The agreement — it sets out the mileage allowance, the fuel arrangement, how road tolls are handled (Darb in Abu Dhabi, Salik in Dubai) and how traffic fines are processed.

Does Jumaira Rent A Car deliver luxury cars in Abu Dhabi?

Yes. Jumaira Rent A Car delivers and collects rental cars in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, so a luxury car can be handed over at a hotel, a residence or an office as well as at the Abu Dhabi office.

For low sports cars, give the venue when booking, because basement ramps, speed humps and high kerbs need care. Exotic cars can be delivered cooled on request.

Can I rent a luxury car monthly in Abu Dhabi?

Yes. Jumaira Rent A Car rents luxury sedans and premium SUVs on monthly terms in Abu Dhabi, for executives on extended assignment, residents between vehicles and companies that prefer hiring to ownership.

Registration and servicing stay with Jumaira Rent A Car, and a car due for service is swapped within the same class where one is available. A monthly hire can roll into successive terms, and the mileage allowance is set to the expected use, such as a daily commute between Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

Companies provide a copy of the trade licence and a letter naming the authorised drivers, and an account running several cars has one named coordinator. Each monthly term is paid in advance, before the month it covers, as set out on the corporate accounts page.

How do I book luxury car rental in Abu Dhabi?
