You can rent a car on Palm Jumeirah or in Jumeirah from AED 100 a day with Next Ride, and we deliver it free to your hotel, villa or apartment. Every car comes with comprehensive insurance and a Salik tag, and you can keep it for a day, a week or a month. Message us on WhatsApp with your address and dates and we will confirm a price before you commit.
Why have a rental car delivered to the Palm or Jumeirah
Palm Jumeirah and the Jumeirah coastline are some of the most popular places to stay in Dubai, but neither has a car rental desk on every corner. Taxis work well for one trip, yet the costs add up quickly if you want to reach Downtown, the Marina, the airport and the beach clubs in the same week. A car parked outside your building gives you the freedom to come and go on your own schedule.
- Free delivery and collection to hotels, villas and apartment towers on the Palm and across Jumeirah
- Daily, weekly and monthly rates, so the same car works for a long weekend or a three month stay
- Comprehensive insurance included in every rental
- Salik tag fitted, so you drive through toll gates without stopping and pay for them after the rental
- Booking on WhatsApp, with a clear quote and no hidden fees
Areas we deliver to
We deliver anywhere in Dubai. In this part of the city, the most common drop-off points are:
| Area | Typical drop-off |
|---|---|
| Palm Jumeirah: the trunk | Apartment towers, Golden Mile and hotels along the main road |
| Palm Jumeirah: the fronds | Private villas, at the gate or driveway |

| Al Wasl and City Walk | Apartments, villas and offices |
Landing first? We can meet you at Dubai International Airport (DXB) or Al Maktoum Airport (DWC) and you drive straight to your hotel. If you are staying closer to Downtown, see our guide to car rental in Business Bay and on Sheikh Zayed Road.
Car rental prices for Palm Jumeirah and Jumeirah
The same prices apply wherever we deliver in Dubai. Here is the current fleet:
| Car | Type | Daily (starting) | Weekly (starting) | Monthly (starting) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Suzuki Baleno 2025 | Economy hatchback, 5 seats | AED 100 | AED 595 (AED 85/day) | AED 1,650 (AED 55/day) |
| Hyundai Creta | Compact SUV, 5 seats | AED 120 | AED 700 (AED 100/day) | AED 2,700 (AED 90/day) |
| Hyundai Elantra 2025 | Sedan, 5 seats | AED 140 | AED 830 (AED 118/day) | AED 2,900 (AED 96/day) |
| Exeed LX 2026 | Premium crossover, 5 seats | AED 150 | AED 999 (AED 142/day) | AED 2,910 (AED 97/day) |
| Kia Carens 2025 | 7-seat MPV | AED 180 | AED 1,050 (AED 150/day) | AED 3,500 (AED 116/day) |
Longer rentals cost less per day. A weekly rental saves up to 17% compared with paying the daily rate, and a monthly rental saves up to 45%, which makes a lot of sense for a long holiday let or a few months between homes. Until December 2026, our Winter Saver gives 15% off economy cars booked weekly or monthly; see the current offers for details. Luxury and premium cars are also available on request.
Which car suits the Palm and Jumeirah?

Driving on and around Palm Jumeirah
The Palm has one main road along its trunk, with the residential fronds branching off on either side and the Crescent wrapping around the outside. It is easy to drive once you know a few local habits.
Parking on the Palm works differently
Public parking on Palm Jumeirah is run by Parkonic, a private operator, rather than by the RTA, so the usual Dubai parking app does not cover it. According to Gulf News, Parkonic car parks such as Palm West Beach, Golden Mile Galleria and The Pointe use cameras that read your number plate, and you pay through the Parkonic app, by scanning a QR code before you leave, or automatically through a Salik account. Some car parks give free parking if you spend with a participating shop or restaurant and validate before you exit.
On the Crescent, paid parking now runs 24 hours a day at AED 10 an hour, payable by SMS or through Salik, as Gulf News reported in February 2026. Hotel guests can usually use their hotel’s own car park or valet, so ask at check-in.
Because your rental car is billed to the renter for any unpaid parking, take a moment to read the signs and pay before you walk away. If you are unsure how a car park is charged, send us a photo of the sign on WhatsApp and we will help.
Salik tolls from the Palm and Jumeirah
There are no Salik gates on Palm Jumeirah itself, and none on Jumeirah Beach Road or Al Wasl Road (see the full list of gates in this Gulf News guide). The gates you are most likely to meet are on Sheikh Zayed Road: Al Barsha when heading towards Mall of the Emirates and beyond, and Al Safa North and South towards Downtown. If you are not in a hurry, Jumeirah Beach Road and Al Wasl Road are toll-free ways to travel along the coast.
| Time | Salik charge per gate (including VAT) |
|---|---|
| Monday to Saturday, 6am to 10am and 4pm to 8pm | AED 6.30 |
| Monday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm and 8pm to 1am | AED 4.20 |
| Monday to Saturday, 1am to 6am | Free |
| Sunday | AED 4.20 |
Your car’s Salik tag records each crossing, and we add the tolls to your bill at the end of the rental.
Peak times and getting off the Palm
- The trunk can get busy in the early evening when beach clubs and restaurants fill up, so leave a little extra time for dinner bookings
- Weekday rush hours on Sheikh Zayed Road broadly match the Salik peak times above
- Set your navigation before you leave the hotel, as exits on Sheikh Zayed Road come up quickly
- Speed cameras are common across Dubai; follow the posted limits rather than the flow of traffic
How delivery works
- Message us on WhatsApp with your dates, car choice and delivery address (hotel name, tower or villa number)
- We confirm the price and delivery time
- Have your documents ready: passport or Emirates ID, driving licence and a credit card for the deposit
- We bring the car to you, walk you round it and hand over the keys
- When you are done, we collect the car from the same address or another one in Dubai
For a gated villa community or a hotel with valet, let us know any gate pass or lobby instructions in advance so the handover is quick.
