To become a resident in the UAE, the process is relatively straightforward and requires two documents: Emirates ID and UAE Residence Visa.
Original and photocopy of the Emirates ID are both required. An additional month-long UAE residence visa is also necessary.
Verification of Legal Residence Status in UAE
Rental agencies use these documents to verify your identity and eligibility to rent a vehicle. Chaufflor clients opting for chauffeured services still require these documents for booking and insurance purposes.
UAE Driving License (For Self-Driving Only)
To rent a car without a driver:
Your valid UAE driving license must be in order to operate legally in the UAE.
No major driving violations or suspensions on record.
International licenses are not accepted for UAE residents.
However, our chauffeur service eliminates this need — making it ideal for residents without driving licenses.
Documents Needed for Tourists Visiting UAE
Dubai welcomes millions of international tourists each year. Many take advantage of luxurious transportation options during their visit. Here is what they will need:
Valid Passport and UAE Visa
Visitors from outside the UAE are required to present:
A valid passport with at least 6 months’ validity.
An International Visit Visa or Entry Stamp that covers the rental period.
Tourist, business, and transit visas are accepted. When making reservations online or by phone, always show the same passport used for entry into the UAE.
International Driving Permit (IDP)
For self-driving, both of the following documents are mandatory:
A valid International Driving Permit (IDP).
Original domestic driver’s license.
These must be issued from the same country and both must be valid. The IDP provides translation services so authorities in Dubai can verify your credentials efficiently.
Note: With Chaufflor’s chauffeur-driven services, an IDP is not required.
Credit Card Authorization
All rental contracts require that renters provide a valid credit card as a security deposit:
The cardholder must match the renter.
Credit Limit (usually AED 2,000–15,000).
Accepted Cards: Visa, Mastercard, and American Express.
This amount will be held in trust until the vehicle is returned in good condition and then released.
Proof of Insurance (Optional/Conditional)
Our luxury rentals typically include basic insurance. However, certain renters may need to provide:
Proof of existing international car insurance coverage, especially for long-term or exotic car rentals.
Upgrade to full coverage if driving a supercar or high-value model.
Chaufflor offers chauffeur services with comprehensive insurance included.
Special Cases: Exotic and Super Luxury Vehicle Rentals
For exotic or ultra-luxury vehicles like Ferraris, Lamborghinis, or Rolls-Royce, the following may apply:
Minimum Age: 25–30 years.
Clean driving record (or ideally, a certificate from your country).
Proof of experience driving luxury vehicles.
These vehicles are high-value assets, so additional verification may be necessary to protect both driver and company.
Long-Term Luxury Rentals
Are you planning a monthly or extended stay in Dubai? Additional documents may be required:
Proof of income or employment.
Bank statements and a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your employer (especially for residents).
Chaufflor offers tailored packages to long-term clients and corporate accounts.
Corporate & Business Rentals
For executives or VIP clients renting luxury cars for business:
Certificate of registration of the company.
If someone else is booking, an authorized signatory letter is needed.
For employee use, a letter of authorization and personal ID documents are required.
Chaufflor’s corporate chauffeur services in Dubai and Abu Dhabi cater to CEOs, dignitaries, VIP events, and more — offering streamlined processes and premium vehicles.
