Despite the COVID-19 precautionary measures, many people still prefer to avoid going to public places in Abu Dhabi. So the trend of road trips is back. This means that the car rental demands are high and therefore expensive. These 10 tricks will help you score a cheap rent a car in Abu Dhabi for your next road trip.

Go for economy cars

Economy cars are typically the cheapest and most practical cars. Most economy cars have less fuel consumption compared to larger vehicles — which basically translates into overall lower fuel costs. The size of a car may not be much of a factor if you plan on using parking lots during your entire trip; but it is a whole different matter when it comes to parking a car on the street. Economy cars are smaller in size and hence easy to park. Also, parking the cars easier means that there are less chances of getting the car scratched and dented.

Forgo the extras

Rental companies will charge you for extra benefits like satellite radio and GPS navigation. You’ll save money if you can simply use the navigation system you carry around in your smart phone and save your money for fuel.

Toll Gate charges

Rental car companies charge the fee for the toll gates such as DARB in Abu Dhabi and SALIK in Dubai which you pay as non-rental charges. While tolls are unavoidable, there are cheaper ways to go about it. You can use an alternative route, or use the road when the toll gate is not active (non-peak hours).
