Large security deposits can drain your bank account before you even get behind the wheel. Many car rental companies in Dubai demand thousands of dirhams upfront, turning the simple act of driving into a financial hurdle. At SmartRent we believe no deposit should stand between you and premium mobility.

As your trusted partner for long-term car rental, we waive the entire deposit on every monthly Mercedes-Benz plan, including the commanding Mercedes G-63 AMG 2024. Competitive rates already cover comprehensive insurance, and you can add unlimited mileage or request delivery to your door anywhere in Dubai.

This guide explains our instant booking process, highlights the models available with zero deposit, and shows you how to secure the right car without tying up extra funds. Ready to drive without the deposit stress?

Why zero-deposit car rentals appeal to Dubai drivers

‍

Dubai’s rental market thrives on convenience, and no deposit plans reshape the experience for residents and visitors alike. Traditional deposits can freeze thousands of dirhams on your card, limiting cash flow when you need it for hotels, dining, or business expenses.

Removing that hold eliminates waiting days for refunds and speeds up vehicle hand-over. It also benefits business travellers who need immediate access to premium cars without credit card headaches.

Key advantages include:

• Instant cash-flow freedom for other costs
• Faster pickup with no card authorisation delays
• Less credit-limit stress and no surprise holds
• Predictable budgeting because the monthly rate covers everything

For Dubai’s diverse community of expats and long-term visitors, transparent pricing and a simplified process make zero-deposit rentals an obvious choice.

Eligibility checklist: documents, age and payment options

‍

Approval is straightforward when you have the correct documents and meet the age requirement.

UAE residents must present:

1. Valid UAE driving licence
2. Valid Emirates ID

Tourists must present:

1. Valid passport
2. International Driving Permit (IDP)
3. Valid visa (mandatory for Mercedes-Benz rentals)

Drivers under the minimum age may be limited to basic models and face higher deposits on non-Mercedes vehicles. We accept debit cards, cash, and digital wallets. For Mercedes monthly rentals no deposit applies, making the pickup and drop-off process even smoother.

Insurance, damages and fines: what happens without a deposit

‍

Every monthly plan, including zero-deposit options, comes with comprehensive insurance and routine maintenance. In an accident, stay safe, call Dubai Police for a report, then contact us. We handle claims so you can get back on the road quickly.

Traffic fines are processed after we receive official notice, then charged to your chosen payment method. This keeps your credit balance free while ensuring accountability.

For example, when Sarah rented a BMW 520M for three months, she received a minor speeding ticket. We paid the fine on her behalf, sent a receipt, and no extra funds were ever blocked from her account.

‍

We control our fleet in-house, include comprehensive insurance, and deliver anywhere in Dubai at no extra cost on monthly plans. The result is reliable quality, transparent pricing, and real 24/7 human support.

Frequently asked questions

‍

Is it really possible to rent a car in Dubai without paying a security deposit?

‍

Yes. SmartRent waives the entire security deposit on every monthly Mercedes-Benz rental. You only pay the agreed monthly fee, which already includes insurance and maintenance, making pickup faster and simpler.

‍

What documents are needed for a no deposit car rental?

‍

Residents present a valid UAE driving licence and Emirates ID. Visitors need a passport, International Driving Permit, and a valid visa. These documents satisfy local regulations and allow us to prepare your contract in minutes.

‍

Can I rent without a deposit if I do not have a credit card?

‍

For zero-deposit Mercedes monthly plans we accept debit cards, cash, or approved digital wallets. Other vehicles may still require a refundable deposit and credit card, so confirm during booking.

‍

Are there hidden fees or stricter conditions on zero-deposit rentals?

‍

No. Rates listed on our website already cover insurance, routine maintenance, and free Dubai delivery for monthly plans. The same rental terms apply whether or not a deposit is required.

‍

How are damages or traffic fines handled when no deposit is collected?

‍

Comprehensive insurance covers accident repairs once a Dubai Police report is supplied. Any traffic fines issued during your rental are billed separately to your chosen payment method, with a detailed statement for full transparency.
