KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Al Ain
- The best part about car rental in Al Ain is the independence you'll enjoy. This oasis city on the border between the UAE and Oman is an excellent base from which to explore both countries, as the border requirements for visitors aren't stringent at all. You won't have to rely on public transport schedules or taxis to get around, so you're free to explore at will. You can visit surrounding towns like Sweihan and Al Ajban, or hire a 4x4 and drive through the dramatic Hajar Mountains.
- You'll land either at the smaller Al Ain International Airport (AAN), which is about 24.5 km away or at the Emirate's largest airport, Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH), about 120 km from the town. This depends on the airline on which you travel. You can organise car rental in Al Ain at both airports, although AUH offers more choice. The car hire desks are situated on Level 4 of the Sky Park Plaza building outside the terminal, and at Al Ain Airport, they're located in the terminal building.
- This is a quiet town, and when you book car rental in Al Ain you can look forward to virtually pristine roads in the neighbourhoods, with a relaxed driving pace. You'll also find the other drivers on the road to be courteous and accommodating, so make sure that you respond in kind. The residential streets are generally quiet, and local residents appreciate measured and considerate driving. While small, this is a modern city, so the pedestrian traffic is average and doesn't stray from the pavements onto the road.
- Al Ain is a far less busy city than Dubai City or Abu Dhabi, to the extent that it doesn't even have a rush hour to speak of. In this way it's very different in character to the larger tourist cities in the emirate. There's always a very strong traffic police presence on the roads, so make sure not to stand out by driving too fast or ignoring road signs. The authorities are very invested in ensuring the city remains law-abiding.
- Book your rental car in Al Ain at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

What type of car is recommended for driving in Al Ain?
The best choice for Al Ain car hire is an all-rounder, like an SUV or an MPV. The roads are wide enough to not have any physical driving issues, and you'll have a vehicle that you can use to explore the city and the surrounding regions that are very rural. The surfaces on the roads connecting towns and cities are very good. As mentioned, there isn't much traffic congestion at all in Al Ain, so get a vehicle that you're comfortable in. You don't need to restrict yourself to a compact car. You can also splash out on a sports car and take advantage of the long, straight roads through the desert. If you want to go further off the beaten track, a 4x4 is definitely recommended, as long as you're experienced in driving this kind of vehicle properly, as this is real off-road terrain.
What's the speed limit in Al Ain?
On single carriageways in residential areas in Al Ain, the speed limit is 50-70 km/h, depending on how built-up the area is, so make sure to check for signs. On dual carriageways in urban areas, you can drive at between 50 km/h and 90 km/h. On freeways and rural roads, you can travel at anywhere from 110 km/h to 180 km/h – once again, follow the signage. Note that on the main freeway connecting Al Ain with Abu Dhabi, the speed limit has been reduced from 140 km/h to 120 km/h.
Where are the best places to park in Al Ain?
There's plenty of street parking available across most neighbourhoods in Al Ain, so you won't have any trouble finding it. Look for the black and blue markings for standard parking, which costs around DH2 per hour (about ₹45). Premium street parking is also available in more popular areas of the city, which costs about DH3 per hour (about ₹67).
