The best way of exploring Dubai according to your whims
and fancies is by hiring a car. And, if you want to
go for Dubai car hire, you
should rent the grandest and the most elegant of cars,
a limousine - be it Mercedes, Lexus or BMW.
In Dubai, limousine rentals are ideal for day or overnight
excursions. One of the most used modes of local transportation
in Dubai, limousine rentals are extensively practiced
throughout the emirate.
The price of a limousine rental in Dubai is usually
high, about Dh 200 at popular car hire agencies. The
prices include driver, fuel and vehicle hire charges.
Mostly used by business travelers on official tours
to Dubai, limousine rentals usually involve cars like
Lexus ES - 300, Mercedes E-200, or BMW 525.
Most car hire agencies charge a special fee for Collision
Damage Waiver (CDW) insurance, which comes in use in
case of accidents. These rates differ according to the
agency and the duration of car rental.
Most of the five
star hotels in Dubai offer limousine rentals as
their complimentary service to business delegations.
The Dubai
International Airport is the hub of limousine rentals
here. Most international tourists choose the limo for
its comfort and opulence.
If you want to drive your hired limousine in Dubai, a credit card is the most
feasible manner of payment. Few car hire companies take
cash deposit and ask tourists to leave their passports.
However, the ideal way is to pay by a credit card and
leave a photocopy of your passport with them.
Most foreign driving licenses are accepted in Dubai.
However, it'll be an advantage to have an international
license as a few car hire companies insist on the same.
 Dubai
limousine rentals will be worthwhile only if you are
adept at driving in the inscrutable traffic situations
here. The congestion on roads is unbearable during peak
hours. Drivers are perpetually in a hurry, trying to
surpass speed records.
Thus, if you deicide to take a tour of the popular tourist
attractions in Dubai, be ready to brave the incessant
traffic and accident-prone roads.
