  • You must be 18 years or older to drive a car but 21 years old or older to rent it.
  • If you are from one of the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries (GCC) or a European country, you don’t need an International Driving Licence. You can drive with your own driving licence as long as you are on a tourist visa. 
  • If you are not from one of the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries (GCC) or a European country and as long as you are on a tourist visa, you would have to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home country before you travel to Dubai. Make sure that you always carry this with your own driver’s license from back home and passport!
  • If your visa situation changes and you stop having a tourist visa, you will have to get a UAE driving licence.
