Just to give you an idea – Toyota Yaris will be about 1700 AED / month. You can drive with a UK license until you get your residence. Once you get your residence, you have to convert your license into a local one. If you are a UK citizen and have a license from UK, it won’t be an issue.

Thanks, for your quick response(s)!

Can i use your price guide to financing a car as a bench mark to estimate what it would cost to rent/lease one?

i. Can you rent/drive under a UK licence & how long for?
ii. What do you need to do to obtain a UAE licence?

Thanks again!

Yes it is absolutely viable. Many people do that. At least this keeps you safe from having bought a car and being fired after a week or so as it can happen here. In the current economic climate I would either buy a cheap disposable car or rent one.

Great info…

Is long term lease/rent a viable option?

How much can it to set me back?

Thanks
