Renting a car in Dubai without a deposit: how it works at Premium Crystal
What a Premium Crystal rental includes, what you need, and how to book a car in Dubai with no security deposit.
Premium Crystal has rented cars in Dubai since 2021, from an Audi A3 at AED 399 a day to Ferrari's Purosangue. This guide covers what a self-drive rental includes and what to prepare.
What the rental includes
- No security deposit on the cars listed without one
- Basic comprehensive insurance, with SDW as an option
- 250 km per rental day
- Free pickup and delivery across Dubai and the UAE
- Handover and return 24 hours a day
Daily or monthly
Every self-drive car carries two published prices: a daily rate and a monthly rate. The Nissan Patrol 2025, for example, is AED 800 a day or AED 20,000 a month.
What to bring
UAE residents need a UAE driving licence and Emirates ID. Tourists need an international driving licence and a copy of their visit visa or visa stamp. Visitors from GCC countries need a valid GCC licence.
On the road
Keep to the daily mileage or budget AED 5 to 30 for each extra kilometre, depending on the car. Traffic fines are invoiced to the renter with a small processing fee, and a late return is charged as an extra day.
