Find your perfect hire car at Abu Dhabi Airport

Plan your journey from Abu Dhabi Airport
From the airport, Abu Dhabi’s city centre is just a 30-minute drive away. The city was part of a vibrant pearl trade before oil became a commodity in the early 1900s. Today – as the second most populated metropolis in the UAE and its capital – Abu Dhabi is a stylish destination serving up exceptional food, shopping and intriguing cultural attractions.
Once a low-lying desert oasis, Abu Dhabi’s soaring skyscrapers continue to pop up across the cityscape. For visitors interested in culture, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque (the largest mosque in the UAE) gives a stunning first impression. This huge attraction is largely made of white marble, but a mix of natural materials, including gold, crystal and ceramic have been used to decorate the interior. Its unique design features many domes and minarets, while tours of the mosque run throughout the day.
The new Louvre Abu Dhabi is also a major draw. This Jean Nouvel-designed museum houses art on loan from galleries around the world. It sits in Saadiyat Island’s Cultural District, a centre of art where a number of museums – including the Zayed National Museum and Guggenheim Abu Dhabi – lie.
With sunny and warm weather almost year-round, make the most of the ample outdoor space in the city. Stroll the Corniche, a 6km promenade featuring various activities and sandy beaches, or wander through one of the city’s green parks such as Khalifa Park. You can also take a canoe tour through Mangrove National Park, or partake in camel racing and desert safaris just outside the city.
Dining options in Abu Dhabi include high-end, international cuisine alongside various Middle Eastern specialties. Be sure to visit the Al Mina Fruit and Vegetable Souk to pick up fresh, local produce. Dates are a specialty of the UAE, so remember to buy some for your journey.
With your Avis rental, the city and its islands are yours to discover.

Beyond Abu Dhabi Airport
From Abu Dhabi, the rest of the United Arab Emirates is easily reached in your Avis hire car. Although much of the country is desert, its arid landscape is dotted with huge cities and small oases waiting to be explored.
Al Ain
Just under a two-hour drive inland on the E22 is the oasis of Al Ain, brimming with date palms. Inhabited for over 4,000 years, it offers a reprieve from the humidity and bustle of the coastal cities. Visit the restored Al Jahili Fort, the Al Ain Zoo, and the Sheikh Zayed Palace Museum. For spectacular sunset views, drive up to the Jebel Hafeet mountaintop.
Dubai
Just 90 minutes up the E11 (one of the region’s busiest roads), Dubai is a breathtaking example of urban planning. Striking it rich with oil, the city has transformed into a globally famous metropolis and the hub of business in the Middle East and southern Asia. Millions of tourists flock to Dubai for shopping, fine dining and a large array of unique experiences – from camel rides to 4WD sand dune tours. Lavish and luxurious, the city features the world’s largest manmade structure – Burj Khalifa – as well as an indoor ski slope, plus the world’s largest flower garden.

Unless confirmed otherwise, the amount of the pre-authorisation taken on pick-up of the rental vehicle is calculated as follows:

* The "vehicle rental price" includes the vehicle rental cost and all optional extras you've requested, calculated at the start of the rental based on the intended length of the rental. For the avoidance of any doubt, any "Pay at Location" amount you owe in relation to the vehicle rental (including any optional extras) will be included as part of the pre-authorisation and will be charged to you at the start of the rental (using the card provided for the purposes of the pre-authorisation, unless agreed otherwise).
The between AED 3000.00 and AED 5000.00 is included as part of the pre-authorisation in case we have to charge you at the end of the rental for any of the following:
i. costs to refuel the vehicle (where relevant);
ii. additional rental charges in circumstances where you fail to return the vehicle or any optional extras at the end of the agreed rental period or to the agreed return location;
iii. any additional charges or fines you incur relating to your use of the vehicle (which we have been notified of prior to you returning the vehicle, which will include, for example, costs relating to traffic violations); and/or
iv. costs incurred as a result of exceeding any relevant mileage restrictions.
Where the pre-authorisation we take does not cover the charges you incur, we will request you make a further payment for the additional amounts owed.
In relation to certain high value vehicles, we may require you to provide us with two payment cards for the purposes of the pre-authorisation. Where this is the case, this will be confirmed when making a booking.
