When a partner charges for delivery, the fee ranges from AED 50 to AED 200 and is shown on the car page before you book.

Where the car is delivered in Al Satwa

Satwa is dense, with low-rise apartment buildings, shops on the ground floor and little room to stop, so agree on a spot where the partner can pull over safely:

• Apartment buildings along Al Satwa Road and 2nd December Street, at the entrance or a nearby side street.
• Villas and older houses on the quieter streets of the district, at your door.
• Landmarks everyone knows, such as the Iranian Hospital on Al Wasl Road or Ravi Restaurant, at a meeting point agreed with the partner.
• The neighbouring districts of Jumeirah, Al Wasl and City Walk, just next door.

Who rents a car in Al Satwa

Satwa is one of the city's older, lively neighbourhoods, known for its tailors, fabric shops and small restaurants. Many residents work across Dubai and rent a car by the month to avoid long bus and taxi rides. Families rent for a weekend outing or for relatives visiting, and small business owners use one for deliveries and errands. Its central position, between the coast and Sheikh Zayed Road, makes every part of the city reachable.

How much does it cost to rent a car in Al Satwa?

The district does not change the price: a car costs the same in Satwa as anywhere else in Dubai. The category, the length of the rental and the deposit decide it. The table above shows the starting price of each category today.

Renting by the week starts from AED 500, and by the month from AED 1,475.

To keep the cost down, rent for longer: weekly and monthly car rental lower the daily price. For a bit more comfort at a modest price, look at our sedans, and read our guide on how much it costs to rent a car in Dubai.

Driving and parking in Al Satwa

Satwa sits between Jumeirah and Sheikh Zayed Road, near the Dubai World Trade Centre, with Al Satwa Road and 2nd December Street as its main roads and Al Wasl Road on its edge. Its inner streets are narrow and busy in the evening, so drive slowly. Salik toll gates on the main roads are counted during the rental and paid at the end of it.

Parking is mostly in paid public zones, payable by app or SMS, and spaces fill up in the evening. Some buildings have a few resident spaces, so ask your landlord or neighbours before the car arrives.

Each rental includes around 250 km per day, enough for a daily commute anywhere in Dubai.

From Al Satwa to the airport and beyond

Dubai International Airport is across the Creek, a straightforward drive from Satwa, and you can also have the car delivered at Dubai Airport to welcome visiting family. DIFC and Bur Dubai are close by car.
