Learn how to plan for short and long term stays in Abu Dhabi.

Abu Dhabi, and the UAE as a whole, can be one of the most incredible places to explore. The trick is getting around in the city. You’ll need to book a monthly car rental in Abu Dhabi, but the duration of your stay will affect whether the rental is short or long term. Here are some tips to help you plan for long term trips to Abu Dhabi.

Hire a Driver

The roads throughout UAE are in good condition, but the rules of the road are a bit complicated. For one, Americans will have to get used to driving on the opposite sides of the road. Speed limits are also a problem for foreigners, as the speeds are a bit faster. Because driving can be somewhat chaotic, a car hire in Abu Dhabi can bring you peace of mind for a modest cost. Plus, you benefit from someone who knows the layout of the city and can take you around to the best spots.

Save Money

If you plan to stay for at least a month, you can save a bit of cash by booking a short term car rental in Abu Dhabi. A regional bus can take you where you need to go inside the city, with more infrastructure coming soon as the city expands. If you can handle public transportation, the car rental will give you access to parts of the city you would otherwise miss. Some people will plan for a week of bus service, then three weeks with a car. You might even save enough to book a luxury rental.
