404 of them are delivered free of charge anywhere in Dubai, the mall area 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 at Ibn Battuta Mall

Ibn Battuta Mall stretches a long way along Sheikh Zayed Road, divided into themed courts named after the countries the explorer visited: China, India, Persia, Egypt, Tunisia and Andalusia. Naming a court is the easiest way to agree on a meeting point:

• A mall entrance or car park near the court of your choice, at a spot agreed with the partner.
• The hotels connected to the mall, at the hotel entrance.
• The Ibn Battuta metro station, for a handover right after your ride.
• Your home in the nearby communities, such as Discovery Gardens, The Gardens or Al Furjan.

Who rents a car at Ibn Battuta Mall

The mall serves a large residential area at the western end of Dubai, where many people live in apartments and work in Jebel Ali, Dubai South or the business districts of New Dubai. They rent an affordable car to commute while waiting to buy one. Visitors staying in the hotels near the mall rent to explore the city, and families rent for weekends and trips out of town.

The metro brings you to the mall, but the residential streets and industrial areas around it are spread out and much quicker to cover by car.

Driving and parking around Ibn Battuta Mall

The mall sits right on Sheikh Zayed Road, a short drive past JLT and Dubai Marina when coming from the city. Heading towards Downtown or the airport, you pass Salik toll gates: tolls are counted during the rental and paid at the end of it.

The mall has large car parks along its length, so park near the court you are visiting. In the residential communities around it, use your building's parking or the public spaces nearby.

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