RAK runs up to 20% cheaper than Dubai for the same models, though the fleet is smaller and the luxury or exotic choice is far more limited.

21 years and over for economy and mid-range cars, and 25+ for luxury and sports cars. Drivers under 25 may pay a young driver surcharge.

Visitors from certain countries need an IDP alongside their home licence. GCC residents and holders of licences from most Western countries do not.
