Rent in Abu Dhabi

EjarCar.com is an online marketplace owned by UFD Ventures FZ LLC, which is a limited company registered in United Arab Emirates. These terms & conditions, together with our website terms & conditions of use, privacy policy and security policy, constitute our agreement with you, the renter, for the services we provide in arranging for the supply of car rental brokerage.

Together, these are referred to as ‘our terms’. These terms shall apply to all contracts for the provision of our services to the exclusion of all other terms & conditions. No conduct by EjarCar.com shall be deemed to constitute acceptance of any other terms. Acceptance of the services or signature on any agreement shall be deemed conclusive evidence of your acceptance of these terms. We may change the terms from time to time and you, the renter, are advised to check the website to consider any changes to the terms which apply to you. Your hire of any car is subject to the terms & conditions of car hire imposed by the car hire company and to the corresponding laws of the country and/or state in which the rental takes place. Individual restrictions may also apply to your car hire.

You will be provided with a car by us as an agent. The capacity in which we act is an online booking platform connecting car rental companies and renters.

These terms apply to any booking that you, the renter, make with us on or through this website, so you should make sure that you are aware of their contents. Both our terms & conditions and those of the car hire companies we work with contain some exclusions and limitations of liability.

Your booking on this website is conditional on you, the renter, accepting our terms. If you, the renter, do not agree with any part of them, you must not proceed with your booking. By confirming that you wish to book a car through this website you, the renter, indicate that you have read and understood and accept the relevant terms. If there is any part that you, the renter, do not fully understand, or if you have a query about the car hire or any other product, please Contact us via email in advance.

There may be some circumstances in which we do not know whether or not the car hire company has a particular car class available. This will be clearly indicated either before or after you, the renter, have sent your request through. In these cases we will put the car ‘on request’ with the car hire company. This means that although we cannot immediately confirm to you, the renter, that your requested car is available, we will use our reasonable endeavours to find it for you and will inform you of the outcome within 48 hours of your request. Where you, the renter, offer to hire a car or other product on this website at the suggested price, it may be accepted within 48 hours of you submitting your order (or up to 1 day before pick-up, if earlier). We will notify you, the renter, by return email and by emailing a booking confirmation if your offer has been accepted. Please note that you, the renter, will not have any contract for car hire at the price offered until your booking has been confirmed and the necessary payment received. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us via email. Please note that any contract entered into will be with the individual actually booking the car and all correspondence will be sent to that address given, even where a third party actually pays for the hire.

Accuracy of Information

Although we strive to ensure the accuracy of the information on this website, neither we nor our affiliates, suppliers or agents can be held responsible by you for the accuracy of such information. It is solely your responsibility to evaluate the accuracy, completeness and usefulness of all information provided on this website.

The EjarCar.com voucher / eVoucher must be presented to the car hire company when picking up your hire car. We cannot be held responsible for rentals rejected if a voucher / eVoucher is not presented.

We cannot accept liability for any charges incurred as a result of documentation signed for and accepted at the car hire counter.

We will not be held responsible for anyone driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs, causing wilful damage, driving off-road or driving without due care and attention. You, the renter, will accept full responsibility in respect of such claims. This list is not exhaustive.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Please check carefully the details of the cover provided by the car hire company. It is not unusual for third-party cover to exclude members of your immediate family or members of the same home address who travel with you, the renter, in the car. Top-up policies will normally be available to purchase directly from the car hire company, or such cover may already be included in your holiday insurance. For peace of mind, we strongly recommend that you, the renter, familiarise yourself fully with the extent of the cover provided with any rental and, where necessary, take out additional cover in respect of your spouse and any children or close relatives who will be accompanying you in the car.

Fuel & Deposits at the Car Hire Counter

Most car hire companies require a deposit at the start of the rental to cover the liability excess, any charges incurred during the rental and, in some cases, fuel. A valid major credit card will be required and must be in the main driver's name. Provided the car and extras are returned in the same state as rented and in accordance with the fuel policy, this deposit will be refunded after dropping the car off (please note that it may take 14 days or more for the money to appear on your credit card again).

Some car hire companies will require you to return the car with the same amount of fuel it had in the tank at pick-up. Others operate a fuel policy where you, the renter, must purchase the first tank of fuel and may drop the car off empty – in which case, there may be no refund for unused fuel.

Where the car hire company charges for fuel, the cost may be higher than it would be at a local petrol station.

Out-of-Hours Service

At most airport locations, flights will be met and cars supplied outside normal working hours. However, there may be an additional charge for this service, which will be payable directly to the car hire company. We will advise you, the renter, whether a charge will apply when you confirm your pick-up times in your booking request. In the event that a flight delay causes the car pick-up to fall outside a car hire company’s normal working hours, the car hire company may agree to provide an out-of-hours service – in which case they will advise you of any fee. We can accept no further responsibility where there is no out-of-hours service available – and it is therefore recommended that you, the renter, take independent travel insurance. Non-airport car hire counters may also provide an out-of-hours service.

Minimum / Maximum Age Limitations

In most locations, the minimum hiring age is 21 years. Additional fees can apply with certain car hire companies and in certain countries for drivers aged under 25 years or over 65 years: where the correct driver age has been submitted with the booking request, we will advise of any likely fees. Minimum age requirements on larger cars may also be higher at some locations. Please contact us via email in advance if you, the renter, have any questions or concerns about this matter.

Additional Drivers

Fees may apply for additional drivers, payable at the car hire counter (unless otherwise specified on the EjarCar.com voucher / eVoucher). Please contact us via email in advance if you have questions in this regard.

Daily Rate Calculations / Periods of Hire / Period of Hire Extensions

The price of your car hire will be confirmed at time of booking and calculated on the basis of 24-hour units. If you, the renter, wish to extend the period of hire after picking the car up, or if you drop the car off later than stated on your voucher / eVoucher, the contract for such an extension will always be with the car hire company directly and the extra time will be charged for by the car hire company at the local daily rate, which may be higher than the rates agreed with us at the time of booking.

Late Pick-ups / Early Drop-offs

Your rental starts and finishes according to the pick-up and drop-off dates and times detailed on your voucher / eVoucher. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide refunds for unused time if a car is picked up late or dropped off early. If you are unable to pick the car up at the agreed time and date, it is essential you contact us as soon as possible. If you do not, there is no guarantee that the car will still be available – and you will not be entitled to any refund.

One-Way Rentals

One-way rentals must be confirmed in advance and may be subject to one-way fees, payable to the car hire company. We will advise you, the renter, of the approximate costs after we receive your booking request and receive confirmation from the car hire company regarding the one-way rental.

Child Seats & Special Requests

Child seats, roof racks (not available on some cars) and other ‘extra’ items are available on request in most locations, although they cannot be guaranteed. There is usually a fee payable to the car hire company. In most locations, child seats are required by law. Please note: rear seat belts may not be provided in all cars. Please check with us in advance via email regarding these items. Requests for these items should be made at the time of booking.

Deliveries & Collections

Some car hire companies will agree to deliver your car to / collect it from a specified address. If so, there may be a fee for this service, payable to the car hire company. We will advise you whether a fee will apply when you confirm your pick-up / drop-off times, along with the full address details, in your booking request. Please note: car hire companies generally do not deliver to or collect from private accommodation.

Driving Areas

Restrictions may be applicable when taking the hire car to a different country/state/island; our Contact Centre must therefore be advised at the time of booking whether you, the renter, intend to do this. Additional documentation may be required and local charges may apply for travel to certain countries. Restrictions may also apply in remote areas such as the Hatta or UAE Northern Areas or in travelling to Oman. Please contact us via email to confirm these aspects.

If You, the Renter, Wish to Make Changes to Your Booking

No charge will be made for amending your booking before the start of your rental. This excludes any cost increases caused by a material change to the booking, such as its duration or the car class – or by the car hire company changing its rates following the original booking. With certain car hire companies, amending the driver’s name or the pick-up location may require the cancellation and re-booking of a rental. To cancel your booking, please log in to the Amend/Cancel Booking facility, and click Cancel Booking. Terms & conditions vary per car hire company and will be clearly communicated during the booking process.

If We Make Changes to Your Booking

Occasionally it may be necessary for changes to be made to your booking (after acceptance) by us or by the car hire company. In all such cases we will advise you, the renter, as soon as reasonably possible before pick-up and, if the proposed changes are unacceptable, you will be offered a full refund. However, in such circumstances, we shall have no additional liability in respect of any direct or indirect losses you may suffer as a result of such changes.

Documentation

Your voucher / eVoucher will normally be available once full payment has been received and the car confirmed by the car hire company. Please note that certain ‘request’ cars may take longer to confirm and we will advise you, the renter, if this is the case. Where the car cannot be picked up due to insufficient documentation or failure to provide a valid credit card, this will be treated as a ‘No Show’, which means you will not be entitled to a refund of money paid. Please ensure that you, the renter, travel with your voucher / eVoucher, your full valid national driving licence and other identification – please check the ‘What You'll Need To Take’ section of your voucher / eVoucher once the car is confirmed to see if any other documentation is required.

Driving Licence

Every driver must have a full, valid driving licence they have held for at least 1 year (2 years at certain locations; this will be confirmed during the booking process). Expired or provisional licences will not be accepted.

When booking the car, our Contact Centre must be advised of any endorsements / points on a driving licence; we reserve the right to refuse the booking on this basis, according to the terms & conditions of the car hire companies we work with.

When picking up the car, every driver must present their licence. They must also keep their driving licence with them at all times throughout the rental, for perusal by local authorities.

No refunds will be given if a car hire company refuses to supply a car because of undisclosed endorsements – or because you cannot provide a driving licence, its counterpart, or the required information about endorsements.

Please note that an International Driving Permit (often referred to as an International Driving Licence) does not replace the requirement for a regular driving licence: a full driving licence in the main driver’s name will still be required in order to rent the car, and every driver requiring an International Driving Permit must keep both documents with them at all times.

All drivers must read the terms and conditions of the car hire company providing their car prior to pick-up, as certain companies and locations may have additional requirements.

Important Information Regarding Exchange Rates

Due to the fluctuation of exchange rates, please be aware that the amount charged to your credit card may differ from the price we quote when you agree to pay for a product or service. The difference (if any) will depend on changes to exchange rates during the period between the moment you book and the moment the charge is reflected in your credit card statement. Similarly, should we refund any money to your account, we will refund the exact amount initially charged – and will not be responsible for any fluctuations in exchange rates that lead to you receiving a larger or smaller refund than expected.

Car Capacity & Car Class

All cars are insured for a maximum number of passengers. We cannot accept liability for the car being unsuitable for all passengers and luggage. As a guide, please refer to the EjarCar.com website for approximate capacities of the various car classes. We cannot accept responsibility if the car hire company refuses to supply a car because the party size is too big.

We are unable to guarantee a particular make or model of car. The car shown on your voucher / eVoucher is for guidance only and the car hire company may instead provide a different car which is deemed to be similar or superior.

Provision of Cars

Car hire companies reserve the right to refuse a car to any person who is considered unfit to drive or does not meet eligibility requirements. We will not be liable for the completion of travel arrangements, nor for any refund, compensation or any other costs you, the renter, may have to pay in such a case.

Complaints

If you, the renter, are dissatisfied in any way with your rental, please report this to the car hire company as soon as feasible. It is difficult for us to assess any claim regarding your rental if this action is not taken at the time. If you, the renter, wish to make a complaint, please ensure you contact our Customer Service Team within 3 months of dropping the car off.

Mechanical Difficulties / Accidents

In the case of breakdown or mechanical difficulties, you, the renter, must call the car hire company immediately. The car hire company must give authority for repairs or replacement cars. If you, the renter, are involved in an accident, the local police and the car hire company must be contacted. Keep copies of all relevant documentation you are asked to complete. This may be needed if you, the renter, wish to make a claim.

Your hire of any car is subject to the terms & conditions of car hire imposed by the car hire company and to the corresponding laws of the country and/or state in which the rental takes place. You, the renter, will therefore be subject both to our terms and to those of the car hire company. We accept no responsibility for and shall not be liable in respect of any loss, damage, alterations, delays or changes arising from civil strife, industrial disputes including air traffic control disputes, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, fire or adverse weather conditions, unavoidable technical problems with transport, closure or congestion of airports or ferry ports, cancellation of scheduled flights or financial failure of airlines.

Terms of Your Contract with EjarCar.com

However you, the renter, choose to book, it is important to understand how and when a contract is formed. The technical steps required for a contract to be formed are as follows. When we quote prices over the telephone or place our services on our website, we are inviting you, the renter, to make an offer for their purchase. You, the renter, do not make this offer until you do so verbally or by clicking ‘Book Now’ on our ‘Payment Details’ page.

You, the renter, will have made us an offer to purchase the services once you have either done so verbally or clicked ‘Book Now’. We will have accepted this offer once we have both received the necessary payment and made your voucher / eVoucher available to you, the renter. Where the arrangement with the car hire company is for us to act as an agent, acceptance of your offer is by us as agent on behalf of the car hire company.

We are responsible for losses you, the renter, directly suffer as a result of us breaking this agreement if the losses are a foreseeable consequence of us breaking the agreement. Losses are foreseeable where they could be contemplated by both you and us at the time our agreement is formed. We are not responsible for indirect losses which happen as a side effect of the main loss or damage and which are not foreseeable by you, the renter, and us; nor are we liable for, without limitations, loss of profits, loss of opportunity, loss of goodwill or consequential losses, damages or costs.

We shall not be liable ourselves or vicariously through the car hire companies for either any failure to perform or any delay in performing any of our obligations under or pursuant to this booking, voucher / eVoucher, rental or terms & conditions, if and in so far as performance is delayed, hindered or prevented by force majeure, which expression shall mean any event beyond the reasonable control of the party in question. In the event that the force majeure persists for more than 14 consecutive days, we may terminate and withdraw this booking by giving 14 days’ notice to your, the renter's, original billing address and refunding all amounts paid prior to the force majeure event.

We have the right to cancel a booking upon limited or immediate notice in certain circumstances, such as the insolvency of a car hire company. In all circumstances we will use our reasonable endeavours to arrange for the supply of an alternative car, but at periods of high demand it may not be possible. Where a customer has made a fully pre-paid booking and we notify the customer up to 48 hours before pick-up, the customer will receive a return of all monies already paid. In the unlikely circumstance we provide a fully pre-paid customer with notice of cancellation within 48 hours of pick-up, we will provide a full refund of all monies paid and cover other foreseeable losses incurred by the customer as a consequence of us breaking the agreement. Where a customer has made a deposit booking and we notify the customer up to 7 days before pick-up, the customer will receive a return of all monies already paid. Where we provide a deposit customer with notice of cancellation within 7 days of pick-up, we will provide a full refund of all monies paid and cover other foreseeable losses incurred by the customer as a consequence of us breaking the agreement.
