Driving Tips in Dubai

If this is your first time behind the wheel in Dubai, you’ll find the roads wide, well-marked, and impressively maintained. But don’t let the smooth highways fool you—there are a few important things every Dubai car rental driver should know before hitting the gas.
First off, speed limits are serious business here. The city is packed with smart radars, and most highways are capped at 100 or 120 km/h. Go even a little over, and your rental bill might come with a surprise fine.
Then there’s Salik—Dubai’s electronic toll system. You won’t see gates or barriers, just a beep and a small charge as you pass certain checkpoints. Saadatrent keeps track of it all, and it’s settled when you return the car.
Parking? It’s mostly digital too. The RTA app will be your best friend for public parking zones. Malls usually have free underground parking, but in busy districts like Downtown or Marina, spaces fill up fast—plan ahead.
One more thing: return your rental with a full tank or the same level as when you first picked it up. Otherwise, you will be charged extra fees. Luckily, fuel is still quite affordable here, and gas stations are easy to spot.
Respect the rules, stay alert, and your time on Dubai’s roads will be smooth and enjoyable. This city was built for drivers—take advantage of it.

Popular Self-Drive Destinations

One of the best parts about choosing to rent a car in Dubai without a driver is the freedom it gives you. You’re not tied to a tour group, schedule, or metro route—you get to decide where the day takes you. And in a city like Dubai, that could mean almost anything.
Start your day at Burj Khalifa, just to say you did. The world’s tallest tower is even more impressive when you pull up in your own ride, walk straight past the taxi lines, and head to the top.
From there, cruise down to Jumeirah Beach Road—windows down, music up. You'll pass sleek beachfront villas and maybe stop for a coffee with a sea view. Keep going and you’ll find yourself at Palm Jumeirah, where the city’s luxury side comes to life.
Still got energy? Take your rental out to the desert—no, not for dune-bashing (leave that to the pros), but for the golden-hour views and peace that only the outskirts can offer.
And if you're up for a full-day adventure? Abu Dhabi is just 90 minutes away. Drive straight to Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque or Ferrari World and be back in time for dinner in Dubai.
When you’re the one behind the wheel, Dubai becomes more than just a destination—it becomes your playground.
