Dubai Driving Information

Driving is on the right side of the road.

All Dubai Airport rental cars are automatic transmission.

Your local drivers' licence is required.

An International Drivers' Permit (or IDP) may be required, especially if your local drivers' licence is in a language other than the local language (you may inquire when you pick up your car).

Dubai Driving Stress Level: 9/10

Driving in the UAE is a daily adrenalin-rush. This is no laughing matter - the UAE has the highest death rate on the roads per capita in the world. On average there is an accident every 2 minutes, and 1 person perishes in a road-related accident every day. Residents' lives are ruled by the city's roads where huge volumes of traffic and poor driving etiquette can make a 20 minute journey into a 3 hour grid-lock nightmare.
