Bur Dubai is the historic heart of the city. It is where you will find the Dubai Creek, the old souks, the Al Fahidi neighbourhood, busy shopping streets and some of the best traditional food in Dubai. It is also one of the busiest parts of town, with narrow streets, heavy traffic at peak hours and many different places to see.
If you are staying here, working here or just visiting, car rental Bur Dubai gives you the freedom to explore the whole city, not only the old quarter. In this guide you will learn why a rental car makes sense, which cars suit Bur Dubai best, how to deal with parking and traffic, and how to book with Euroline Rent A Car and get your car delivered to your door.
Bur Dubai has metro stations, buses and taxis, so it is fair to ask whether you need a car. For many visitors and residents, the answer is yes:
• Reach the whole city: Downtown, the Marina, Palm Jumeirah, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah are easy to reach on your own schedule.
• Save on taxis: for stays of a few weeks, a rental is often cheaper than daily taxi rides.
• Travel with luggage and family: it is easier than coordinating several taxis.
• Skip the waiting: no queues for taxis at busy times, and no surge pricing.
• Flexible plans: rent for a day, a week or a month.
Staying longer? See why many visitors are choosing monthly car rentals instead of taxis.

Bur Dubai is busy, so a few habits make driving easier:
1. Choose a compact car if you will spend most of your time in the old quarter.
2. Avoid peak hours. Mornings and evenings on the main roads and around the Creek crossings are the busiest.
3. Look for official parking. Many streets are paid parking zones, so check the signs and pay through the official parking app or machine. Do not park in non-parking areas.
4. Use malls and public car parks for longer stays, such as the one at BurJuman.
5. Watch for Salik tolls. Our cars have a Salik tag, and the charges are added at the end of your rental.
6. Use navigation. Streets in the old quarter can be narrow and one-way.
7. Check the parking time before you leave the car, so you do not get a fine.
To avoid costly surprises, read the 5 mistakes to avoid when renting a car in Dubai.
