1How much does a weekly rental save?

2Is a weekly rental right for you?

• Good fit. A standard 7–14 day holiday, a business trip spanning more than a few days, or any visit where you know you'll want the car most days rather than just for specific excursions.
• Reconsider if. You only need the car for 2–3 specific days within a longer trip, or your stay is closer to a month — price the monthly rate too, it may beat weekly by enough to be worthwhile even if you're a few days short of 30.

3What changes on a weekly rental?

• Mileage allowances scale up, but not always 7x. Weekly rentals commonly include 1,000–1,750km total — check the actual weekly allowance.
• Fuel and cleaning policies stay the same — "full to full" and standard cleaning terms don't change.
• Deposits are typically held for the full week upfront, not charged incrementally — confirm the total hold amount before booking.
• Some companies offer a free additional driver or minor perks on weekly bookings — worth asking about specifically.
• Cancellation and date-change policies can be stricter on a week-long commitment — check refund and amendment terms.

4Costs that are easy to miss

• Confirm total mileage allowance and the per-km fee beyond that limit.
• Check Salik toll, parking, and other fees — some companies bundle them, others charge separately.
• Verify insurance excess amount and whether zero-excess cover is available.
• Ask about cleaning fees if the car is returned excessively dirty.
• Ensure the fuel policy (full-to-full) is clearly stated.

5How to get the best weekly rate

• Book early, especially in peak season (Nov–Mar), for better selection and pricing.
• Compare at least 3–4 providers for the exact car you want.
• Check weekly rates on the provider's site as well as on TripReview.
• Look for promotions or loyalty discounts.
