In case of an accident and/or damage, the client is required to pay excess liability if CDW is not taken. A valid Police report is also required. In the event of theft of a rented vehicle, the police must be notified immediately; otherwise cover would be rendered void.    Insurance covers use of the vehicle in U.A.E. only, unless prior agreement is given by Car Provider.

Most car rental companies in Dubai offer standard insurance inclusive of the car rental price. However, it should always be confirmed before renting the car because if you\'re getting a car well below the market rate, there might not be any insurance included. 

Very few international car hire companies offer full-coverage car insurance in Dubai, UAE for an additional charge or free of cost.

CDW insurance is the short form of Collision Damage Waiver which means that you are covered if there are any accidental damages to the car in a collision, no matter who is at fault. It is important to consider getting CDW insurance if your rental car comes with a standard insurance package. However, to claim this it is necessary to get a Police Report (whichever emirate you are in). 

Comprehensive insurance covers you in case of any accidental damage to the vehicle, provided it isn’t your fault. A police report proving the same with a green or white slip must be produced for the same. This kind of insurance is included within the rental price as per RTA regulations in the UAE.

Mileage limitation is the number of kilometres you can drive your rental car free of cost. The mileage limitation (200 km, 300 km or so) is provided as part of the rental price. Some car rental companies offer unlimited mileage with which you can drive the rental car for any amount of distance / kilometres free of cost. 

Some car rental companies are known to charge extremely high charges including repair costs + days the car is kept in the garage for repairs + admin fees (up to AED 1000) even for minor dents. Be sure to understand the terms if you\'re planning for a long-term lease from the car lease company staff.

Always keep your eyes open and note the existing dents, scratches and so on when the car rental staff checks the car before handing you the keys. Take pictures on your smart phone if necessary.

Always remember to pay for parking in public and private paid-parking spaces. Don’t cross the speed limit especially if you are driving a leased car. You might even incur additional charges over the AED 600 speeding fine.
