I’ve heard that owning a car in Dubai - crowdo - 05-09-2025
Good afternoon! I’ve heard that owning a car in Dubai is pretty much a must. But is renting long-term actually affordable compared to buying?

Good afternoon! Yes, owning a car is almost necessary in Dubai https://www.outdoorhub.com/2025/08/08/confessions-of-an-accidental-expat-how-long-term-car-rentals-saved-my-life-in-dubai/ , but buying isn’t the only option. Long-term car rental in Dubai is actually very cost-efficient. When you calculate daily costs, it turns out much cheaper than short-term hires, and you don’t need a big down payment like you would with a purchase. Many expats appreciate that rentals include maintenance and insurance, so there are no surprise costs. It’s predictable, convenient, and you avoid losing money on depreciation if you leave suddenly. I found it a much safer financial choice than buying.
