Car Rental in Dubai Silicon Oasis DSO

Car rental in Dubai Silicon Oasis, delivered to your door

Dubai Silicon Oasis is a technology free zone and a residential community in one: office buildings and tech companies, apartment towers, villa clusters, schools and a university campus, all on the eastern edge of Dubai. People here commute to the business districts, drive children to school or study at the campuses nearby, and most of them depend on a car. Rentop is a marketplace: the cars belong to licensed rental partners and you book them at the price they set. There is no agency in DSO to go to. The partner brings the car to your address, you check it together with your documents, and you pay at that moment.

Today 452 cars can be delivered to Dubai Silicon Oasis, from AED 85 per day.

404 of them are delivered free of charge anywhere in Dubai, DSO included.

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 we deliver in Dubai Silicon Oasis

DSO is laid out in separate residential and business zones, so tell the partner which part you are in and share a map pin. Usual meeting points:

• Apartment towers across the community, at the lobby or the building entrance.
• Offices in the DSO headquarters area and Dubai Digital Park, at the building reception.
• Silicon Central mall, at an entrance agreed with the partner.
• The Rochester Institute of Technology campus, at the main entrance.
• Nearby: International City, Mirdif and Meydan.

How much does it cost to rent a car in Dubai Silicon Oasis?

The price does not depend on the district: a car costs the same in DSO as anywhere else in Dubai. What changes it is the category, the length of the rental and the deposit. The table above gives the starting price of each category today.

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

Students and new employees often rent by the month while they settle in, at a lower daily price. See weekly and monthly car rental, and our guide on how much it costs to rent a car in Dubai.

SUV rental in Dubai Silicon Oasis

DSO is a family place with long, fast drives to the rest of the city. An SUV gives you room for children and shopping, a comfortable ride on the highway and a high driving position in heavy traffic, and it parks easily at a villa. That is why the grid above starts with SUVs.

Our SUV selection counts 191 cars from AED 85 per day.

• Practical family SUV: a Hyundai Tucson, a Mazda CX-5 or a Haval H6.
• Room for everyone: a Toyota Highlander, a Kia Sorento or a Nissan Patrol.
• Premium SUV: a Mercedes GLC or a BMW X5.

Rent a car in Dubai Silicon Oasis with no deposit

352 of the 452 cars we deliver to DSO need no deposit.

Driving and parking in Dubai Silicon Oasis

DSO sits where the Dubai Al Ain Road meets Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. The first takes you west toward Downtown and Business Bay, the second north toward Mirdif and Sharjah or south toward the newer districts. Some routes across Dubai pass Salik toll gates: tolls are counted during the rental and paid at the end of it.

Parking is easier here than in the city centre: villas have their own space, most towers have residents' car parks and Silicon Central has a large car park. Ask your building about visitor spaces before the car arrives.

Each rental includes around 250 km per day, enough for a daily commute to Downtown Dubai and back.

Students and professionals in DSO

For students, a small economy car keeps costs down between the campus, home and the city. For professionals who travel, Dubai Airport is reached by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, and you can have a car delivered there on arrival and drive straight back to DSO.

UAE residents: a UAE driving licence and an Emirates ID. Tourists: a passport, a visit visa and your home driving licence. Licences from the UK, the United States, Canada, most European countries and many others are accepted as they are; for other countries, add an International Driving Permit.
