I just got a driver’s licence, can I rent a car?

Dubai: If you have just received your driving licence, you are probably excited about your newfound freedom. If you are unable to buy a car immediately, you may be considering renting one. But if you are 18 years old, your options for renting may be limited. Here is all you need to know about the minimum age and driving experience you may need to rent a car in the UAE. Before you go into a car rental company, it is important to note that a common practice among rental companies is to accept customers who are above the age of 21 or 25. This requirement is based on the car insurance provider that the company has hired. Anita Sachan, the chairwoman of Dubai-based Midtown Car Rental Company, said: “According to most car insurance policies, the eligible age to rent a car is from 21 or 25. All the cars offered by rental agencies are insured, and, we set the age limit according to the insurance policy.” Zeeshan Hassan Abdulrehman, the CEO of PROX Car Rental, which has branches across the UAE, spoke about the driving experience that may also be considered when a car is rented out at his branches.
