Planning your visit
Does a zero-deposit offer remove all upfront costs?
No. It is a conditional offer for selected bookings. The published terms state a daily or weekly surcharge starting at AED 49 per day; rental charges and potential liabilities still apply.
Can I return a car early without losing the remaining rent?
The standard terms say early returns are not refundable. Longer commitments can also have termination charges. Give the required return notice before the rental expires to avoid automatic extension.
