As summer temperatures continue to increase in the UAE, tyre bursts & engine over heating are few common causes of accidents during this period.
As such, vehicle maintenance is essential. Although, the rising costs of vehicle ownership, particularly maintenance & cost of parts, can surprise you with the cost. However, renting a car offers a practical and economical solution for many, potentially offering a 100% saving maintenance cost.

Regular servicing, unexpected repairs, and the cost of replacement parts can add up quickly, often catching car owners by surprise. Renting a car eliminates these financial worries, as the responsibility of the maintenance falls on the rental company.
