What can be arranged

Practical help around a hire

These are small, personal services around renting a car in Dubai. Nothing here involves booking a vehicle for you, taking a commission or passing your details to a hire company. Sessions are unhurried, group sizes are small, and every price below is indicative and confirmed in writing before anything is arranged.

Contract review before you sign

You send or read out the agreement you have been offered, and we go through it clause by clause on the telephone: excess, mileage, fuel, tolls, late return, cross-border wording and the damage assessment method. You end the call with a written list of what to query at the desk.

  • Clause-by-clause reading of your agreement
  • Written list of questions for the desk
  • The excess and deposit figures confirmed in dirhams

AED 350

Handover walk-around, in person

Thirty minutes at the collection point, walking the car with you in both directions under a torch, testing the cooling, checking the rims and the boot floor, and making sure every existing mark reaches the condition report before it is initialled.

  • Full exterior and interior inspection with you
  • Photographs and a short video kept for your file
  • Marks added to the condition report before signing

AED 450

Monthly hire briefing

Ninety minutes on how long-stay agreements differ from weekly ones: where the crossover point falls, what servicing and replacement should include, how mileage allowances compare, and which quiet costs appear in the second month rather than the first.

  • Comparison sheet for the quotations you have
  • Realistic monthly budget including tolls and cleaning
  • Questions to settle before the agreement starts

AED 600

Airport collection planning

A short session before you travel, covering the documents to carry, the card that will hold the deposit, how to add a second driver properly, which counter offers to decline, and how to inspect a car under poor lighting at the end of a flight.

  • Document and card checklist for the counter
  • Wording for declining the offers you do not want
  • Torchlight inspection routine on one printed sheet

AED 300

Three days with a car

Turning a short hire into a proper trial before you buy anything: which roads to cover, what to put in the boot, who to sit in the back, what to test in the first hour and what to write down each evening while the impression is still accurate.

  • Route plan covering city, coast and a long run
  • Evening note sheet for each of the three days
  • Debrief call once the car has gone back

AED 750

Return and deposit follow-up

Support at the other end of a hire: the ten-minute return routine, what to insist on if the desk is closed, and help with the wording if a deduction appears that you do not recognise or if a card hold is slow to be released.

  • Return checklist and fuel receipt guidance
  • Wording for a written request for the repair invoice
  • Follow-up call while the hold is still outstanding

AED 400

All prices are indicative and quoted in dirhams. They are confirmed in writing before anything is arranged. Hire charges, deposits, insurance waivers, fuel, tolls and parking are paid by you directly to the hire company and are never included in the figures above.

Read it before you sign

Read the contract before the queue does it for you

If there is a hire agreement in front of you, or a monthly quotation you are unsure about, a short conversation beforehand usually settles it. Nothing is sold here, no vehicle is booked on your behalf, and no hire company hears your name.
