Renting a luxury or supercar in Dubai is straightforward when your documents are ready. Most delays happen because a licence translation, IDP, or credit card name does not match — use this checklist before you book with Fame Luxury.

For UAE residents

  • Valid UAE driving licence (usually held for at least one year).
  • Emirates ID (original).
  • Credit card in the primary driver’s name.
  • Minimum age: typically 25 for supercars, 21+ for selected luxury models.

For tourists and visitors

  • Valid passport with UAE entry stamp or visa.
  • Home-country driving licence (English, or with official translation).
  • International Driving Permit (IDP) when your licence is not in English or Arabic.
  • Credit card for deposit or verification.
  • Minimum age: usually 25 for supercar rental Dubai bookings.

Deposit and payment

Most luxury rentals use a card pre-authorisation. Fame Luxury also offers no-deposit options on selected models — ask your concierge when enquiring. Rates, deposit amounts, mileage, and delivery fees are confirmed on WhatsApp before payment.

Tips to clear handover faster

  • Photograph licence front/back and passport bio page before arrival.
  • Ensure the cardholder is the same person named on the rental.
  • Share flight or hotel details early if you need DXB or hotel delivery.
  • Read our FAQ if you are unsure about IDP rules for your country.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an International Driving Permit in Dubai?

If your licence is not issued in English or Arabic, an IDP (or certified translation) is typically required alongside your original licence.

Can a second driver be added?

Additional drivers can often be added if they meet age and licence rules and are declared before handover. Ask when you request your quote.
