Documents you'll need
You’ll need a full licence, passport and credit card.

Dubai uses an electronic toll system called Salik. Charges are applied automatically when passing under toll gates — most hire cars include this, but always confirm in advance.
Parking your car in Dubai
Paid parking zones are common across the city.
Parking in Dubai is well organised, with roadside meters, pay-by-app options and colour-coded zones. Hotels, malls and larger venues usually offer free or valet parking — check limits during weekends and holidays.
Finding fuel or charging points
Fuel is cheap — EV charging is expanding.
Petrol stations are easy to find and fuel is affordable. EV charging stations in Dubai are increasing, especially at malls and hotels. Use the DEWA app or PlugShare for locations.
