Typically, you can expect a 10-20% discount when renting an SUV on a monthly basis. With a monthly rental, you can fully immerse yourself in Dubai’s wonders without the hassle of returning the vehicle regularly. Ensure you clarify the terms and any mileage restrictions before making a monthly commitment. 

Rental Insurance and Safety (H3)

Safety is paramount when you embark on an SUV adventure in Dubai. Ensuring your peace of mind begins with understanding rental insurance options and adopting responsible driving practices.

Types of Rental Insurance:

• Collision Damage Waiver (CDW): CDW is a common form of rental insurance that covers damage to the rental vehicle. It’s essential to clarify what the CDW covers and any deductible associated with it. Prices vary but can start at around AED 30 per day. 
• Third-Party Liability Insurance: Mandatory when renting a vehicle in Dubai; Covers damage or injury to third parties. 
• Personal Accident Insurance: Provides coverage for medical expenses in case of an accident involving the rental vehicle. Prices vary but start at around AED 20 per day. 
• Theft Protection: Covers the loss of the rental vehicle due to theft. Prices vary but can start at around AED 15 per day.
  
  

Understanding Coverage Limits

Be sure to understand the limits of your rental insurance, especially if you plan to explore off-road areas. Some policies may have exclusions for off-road driving. Depending on your travel plans, consider supplemental coverage for specific scenarios, such as tire and windshield damage protection or coverage for additional drivers. 

Safety While Driving in Dubai

Although it is an enjoyable experience to drive these large sized wheels, they can put us in difficult situations if we don’t pay attention to safety.

• Observe Speed Limits: Dubai has stringent speed limits. Always adhere to them, especially in residential areas and around schools. If you want to exceed the limits and you don’t have concern for the high-priced penalties, try to drive safely as the accidents that occur at highways are fatal for you as well as people driving around you. 
• Ensure that all passengers are wearing seatbelts at all times. 
• Avoid Off-Roading Alone: If you plan to venture into the desert, it’s safer to travel with at least one other vehicle. Be prepared with recovery equipment and extra water. 
• Stay Informed: Keep an eye on weather conditions, especially if you plan desert excursions, and check for any road advisories. 
• Plan Rest Stops: Long drives can be tiring. Plan regular rest stops for refreshment and rest.
