A First-Timer's Guide to Sharjah Car Rental
Planning your first visit to Sharjah?
Renting a car can make the experience smoother and more enjoyable. Whether you're staying in the city or heading out to explore the desert, having your own ride gives you the freedom to move on your own schedule. But, the renting process can be overwhelming for you as a first-timer. That is why this guide walks you through everything you need to know, from what to bring to the laws to observe.
Why rent a car in Sharjah?
Sharjah is a growing city with a lot to see. Renting a car allows you to explore the cultural sites, beaches, and shopping areas at your own pace. Plus, a rental car is more comfortable if you are traveling with bags or your family or friends.
Everything you need to rent a car in Sharjah
If you're a tourist, make sure to carry your passport, a valid driver's license from your home country, and an International Driving Permit. But if you are from the GCC countries, you can drive with your home country license without additional requirements.
Rental companies will also ask for a credit card for the deposit. It's helpful to have a copy of your booking confirmation saved or printed, just in case you need to double-check the details when you pick up the car.
Child safety laws you must comply with in Sharjah
If you are traveling with children under four years, Sharjah’s laws require them to be in child car seats. The choice of the seat depends on the child’s age and weight. For example, children aged 18 months and below, weighing 9 to 13 kgs, should be on rear-facing seats. Others upto 4 years, weighing 9 to 18 kgs, should be on forward-facing seats, while up to 12 years should be on booster seats.
Children below 10 years old should not sit in the front seats.
What is the best car rental company in Sharjah?
The first company that comes to mind is Thrifty. This company offers a wide selection of vehicles, unlimited mileage, and third-party insurance. You also get 24-hour access to support and free cancellation.
Do you need extra insurance coverage in Sharjah?
Most rentals in Sharjah include basic insurance, but it usually comes with a high excess. For example, Thrifty's basic coverage has a $816.88 excess for the collision damage waiver and a similar amount for theft protection.
So, if you want peace of mind, it’s worth looking into extra coverage. You can either buy it from the rental company or book it through a trusted third-party provider before your trip. Just make sure you understand what your insurance covers.
Best driving tips for safe and legal driving in Sharjah
While Sharjah has good roads, it is important to remain focused while driving. Avoid using your phone, wear seatbelts, and follow the rules. There are cameras all over, so follow the speed limits and avoid sudden lane changes that can attract fines.
Remember to always drive on the right side of the road. Watch out for aggressive drivers because driving in the UAE can be a bit fast-paced, especially during heavy traffic or rush hour.
