Can I extend my car rental in Dubai?

Yes, but arrange it before your contracted return time โ€” call the desk on the number in your voucher or contact our support. Extensions are charged at the desk's current daily rate (which can differ from your original online rate). Simply keeping the car without approval triggers late fees and can void your insurance.

How to extend properly

Ring the rental desk first โ€” the number is on your voucher โ€” and agree the new return date before the old one passes. Can't get through, or the desk is being difficult? Open a support ticket and we'll chase it with you. Your booking details are always in your account if you need them mid-call.

What an extension costs

Extra days bill at the desk's current daily rate, which isn't necessarily the discounted online rate you originally booked. For a day or two that's usually fine; for a longer extension, compare first โ€” sometimes booking a fresh discounted rate online and swapping cars beats extending at desk prices.

Never just keep the car

An unarranged late return is treated as unauthorised use: late fees stack up, and your insurance cover can be voided while you're driving past the contracted return time. Return-time grace periods exist but are short โ€” typically under an hour (think 29โ€“59 minutes), designed for traffic, not for an extra afternoon.

Decide early, drive relaxed

The moment you suspect you'll want the car longer, make the call โ€” extensions agreed in advance are routine, extensions assumed are expensive. More on returns, fuel and deposits in car rental help.
