Bookingauto (Abu Dhabi) strives to make your car rental experience as simple and convenient as possible. This also applies to the location of rental points. Our clients can pick up cars in the most popular places, whether it be the city centre, airport, or main railway station. The list of our pick-up locations is extensive, meaning that visitors who book cars with us in Abu Dhabi can always collect them from the most suitable place.
What we can offer:
By contacting Bookingauto.com, customers can be sure that there is the right type of car waiting for them. For example, if one person or a small group of guests arrives in Abu Dhabi, it makes sense for them to rent a Convertible Chevrolet Camaro from €58 per day. This presentable and comfortable car is offered for rent by sixt. When it comes to a family or a large company, the best choice may be a Minivan Mercedes Viano at a rate of €53 per day. Your trip will be pleasant and safe in this roomy car. For those who want some extra comfort and have the appropriate budget, budget is ready to offer a Business-class model - Jaguar XE. A budget transport option for a journey would be a Seat Leon car, compact but quite convenient, the rental of which would cost about €14 per day.
How to minimize costs:
In order to avoid paying too much, plan to pick up the car and return it at the same time. Car rental fees are set for the entire rental day. Therefore, if you return the car after 25 hours, the payment will be calculated as 48 hours, or two full days. Likewise, if you use your rental car for more than 72 hours, you will pay for 96 hours of rent.
