All our cars come with Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) insurance, which reduces or covers your financial liability in case of an accident.

CDW limits the amount you're responsible for. The rental price includes standard coverage with a deductible of AED 1,000–1,500, depending on the car model.
If you're at fault, you’ll only need to pay the deductible.
If the accident is not your fault, you don’t pay anything.

To make a claim, a police report is required:

• A green report means you’re not at fault — no payment needed.

• A red report means you’re at fault — the deductible applies.

Please note: CDW insurance does not cover:

• Damage to tires, glass, mirrors, or the underbody.

• Accidents caused while breaking the law (e.g. driving under the influence or fleeing the scene).

• Lost keys or personal belongings in the car.

3. Via parking meters

Entering Dubai Mall also triggers a Salik charge.

If you’re from the EU, GCC, USA, UK, Canada, or a few other places, you don’t need an IDP. For people from Belarus and Ukraine, just your national driver’s license and passport are enough to book.

If you’re from Russia, Kazakhstan, or other CIS countries, an International Driving Permit is a must.

UAE residents should provide a valid UAE driver’s license and their Emirates ID. If your UAE license is less than 3 months old, please also send your national driver’s license showing you’ve been driving for 3 months or more.

If you want to rent a car in the UAE, in some cases you’ll need an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with your regular driver’s license. For example, people from Russia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, and some other countries need an IDP. You can find a list of the most common countries and their IDP requirements here.

You don’t need an International Driving Permit if you are:

• A UAE resident. Just show your Emirates ID and a valid UAE driver’s license that’s been issued at least 3 months ago. If your UAE license is newer than that, you’ll also need to show your original national driver’s license proving you’ve been driving for more than 3 months.

• A citizen of the EU, GCC, USA, UK, Canada, Belarus, or Ukraine. For renting a car, your national driver’s license and passport are enough.

In any case, you must have a valid driver’s license.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) reduces your liability in the event of an accident during your car rental. Without this, you could be liable for the full cost of the rental car if it were to be damaged or written off. CDW means you won’t have to pay the full cost of any repairs as long as you’ve followed the T&Cs.

CDW is always included when booking with rentico.ae with Excess or Excess Reimbursement. CDW is sometimes known as Loss Damage Waiver or Damage Excess Waiver.
