Dubai Airports has teamed up with rentalcars.com to provide passengers with an easy and cost effective way to rent a car directly from the Dubai Airports website.

The new multi-lingual service – available in English and Arabic – allows customers to browse and select rental options in more than 160 countries and 28,000 locations.

The page also provides a list of car rental companies available at Dubai International and Al Maktoum International at Dubai World Central, with a link to a map of the two airports.

Customers can book and pay online and collect their vehicles at their destination.

“This digital platform is aligned with our objective to engage with travellers directly, connecting them to commercial services on the ground at our airports.

“We look forward to working with rentalcars.com in providing this new service, the first of its kind in airports across the region,” said Dubai Airports executive vice president commercial, Eugene Barry.

Over the past year Dubai Airports has continued to expand its digital portfolio, launching a new website and mobile app as well as a live chat service which answers passenger queries in real-time.

“With Dubai Airports increasingly engaging their passengers online, this partnership creates an opportunity to deliver an enhanced service by serving a common customer from one platform.

“We are eager to begin this long-term, strategic partnership and to connect these passengers to high quality car rental services as part of a seamless customer journey,” said rentalcars.com marketing director, Peter Rooney.
