UAE residents normally provide a valid Emirates ID and UAE driving licence. After document approval, confirm the vehicle, rental period, total rate, mileage, deposit, insurance excess, delivery and payment conditions. Residents should not use a foreign licence as a substitute for a valid UAE licence.
