Before you pick up a car, car rental companies will typically request your credit card. If you're wondering how to rent a car in Dubai without a credit card, this post will help.
Tourists frequently wonder why car rental companies always require a credit card when hiring a car. What’s up with that? Truth is, it’s not solely due to the rental fee. It is more concerned with ensuring that the agency’s vehicles remain in good condition throughout the time they are in the hands of the customers.
Alternative Payment Methods
Now before we get into the specifics, you should know that renting a car in Dubai without a credit card is only possible if you’re a Dubai resident.
Apart from using a credit card, Fast Track supports other payment methods for locals in Dubai.
- Cash
- Bank transfer
If you’re into cash transactions, Fast Track accepts cash as a form of payment for the rental fee.
Fast Track takes a minimum of AED 1000 security deposit by credit card, cash, or bank transfer to cover up for any accidental damage to the car.
So, make sure that you are carrying enough cash to hire a rental car.
Not only that, but you can also pay via bank transfers if you’re a non-local with a bank account abroad, or simply prefer to do business through the banking system

Tips for renting a car without a credit card in Dubai
- Fast Track has different payment rules depending on your age and the vehicle you choose. Make sure to thoroughly research and inquire before booking a rental car.
- Check vehicle availability because you may be limited to certain car types if you do not rent with a credit card.
