Last updated 28 October 2026. eZhire rents cars by app across all seven emirates with no security deposit and no rental counter: the car is delivered to you, usually within a couple of hours, and collected the same way.

The rate falls as the rental lengthens but the AED 100 cap stays fixed, so the cap binds soonest on monthly hires — where 5% of a long booking passes AED 100 quickly and the discount flattens to a fixed AED 100.
| Booking | Tier | You save | Effective rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| AED 250 for a day | 10% | AED 25 | 10% |
| AED 1,000 for a week | 8% | AED 80 | 8% |
| AED 2,000 for a month | 5% | AED 100 (cap reached) | 5% |
| AED 4,000 for a month | 5% | AED 100 | 2.5% |
Daily and weekly rentals are where the percentage still does the work. On a week-long hire around AED 1,000, the 8% lands close to the cap without wasting it. On a long monthly hire the code is effectively a flat AED 100 off, so judge it against the headline rate rather than the percentage.
One caution on monthly bookings. eZhire’s own UAE terms state that once a booking becomes a monthly booking, a promotional discount is removed or limited to AED 100. That sits awkwardly beside the published 5% monthly tier, and we have not been able to confirm which applies at checkout. The practical consequence is the same either way — expect a flat AED 100 at most on a monthly hire — but it also means extending a weekly booking past the monthly threshold can cut the discount you started with. If you are close to the line, check the figure before you extend rather than after.
Everyone focuses on the AED 100 cap. On a short hire, delivery costs you more than the cap ever saves you.
eZhire’s UAE terms list AED 39 each way, excluding VAT, for delivery and collection — so about AED 78 on a round trip. The coupon does not apply to it. That changes the maths on a one-day rental completely:
| Booking | Tier | P48 saves | Delivery both ways | Net |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AED 250, one day | 10% | AED 25 | AED 78 | AED 53 out of pocket |
| AED 500, two days | 10% | AED 50 | AED 78 | AED 28 out of pocket |
| AED 780, three days | 10% | AED 78 | AED 78 | Break-even |
| AED 1,000, one week | 8% | AED 80 | AED 78 | AED 2 ahead |
| AED 2,000, one month | 5% | AED 100 (cap) | AED 78 | AED 22 ahead |
The rule: the discount only covers your delivery once the rental passes roughly AED 780 on the daily tier, or AED 975 on the weekly one. Below that, P48 softens the delivery fee rather than discounting the car.
That is not an argument against eZhire — the delivery is what replaces the taxi to a rental counter and the queue at the desk, and a counter rental charges you in time instead of dirhams. It is an argument against assuming a one-day hire with a coupon is the cheap option. For a single day, compare the all-in total against a counter rental you can walk to.
Standard bookings carry a mileage allowance, and it is not the same in every emirate:
| Emirate | Per day | Per week | Per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Abu Dhabi | 275 km | 1,750 km | 2,000 km |
| Dubai and all other emirates | 225 km | 1,400 km | 2,000 km |
Watch this if you commute between emirates. A Dubai–Abu Dhabi round trip is roughly 300 km — more than a full day’s allowance on a Dubai booking. Two such trips in a week and the excess charge will outweigh anything P48 saved you. On that pattern the mileage allowance matters more than the rental rate.
UAE residents can rent from 18 with a valid UAE driving licence, Emirates ID and passport with visa page. Visitors must be 21 or over and need their home country licence, an International Driving Permit and a passport with an entry stamp — the IDP is the step tourists most often miss, and it cannot be obtained after arrival.
Credit and debit cards are both accepted, which matters here: because there is no security deposit, there is no large hold to clear, so a debit card works as well as a credit card.
Salik road tolls, fuel, traffic fines and any optional extras are billed separately and sit outside the discount. Cross-border travel into Oman needs prior approval and separate insurance. The percentage applies to the rental charge itself, before the 5% VAT.

| car rental no deposit Dubai | تأجير سيارات بدون تأمين |

| ezhire vs car rental Dubai | اي زهير أو تأجير عادي |
The brand is written both اي زهير and إي زهير in Arabic search; the first form is the more common one.
The code is only part of the comparison. What usually decides it is the deposit and the counter:
| eZhire (app) | Traditional counter rental | |
|---|---|---|
| Security deposit | None | Typically AED 1,000–5,000 held on a credit card, cleared over days or weeks |
| Card type | Credit or debit | Credit card usually required for the hold |
| Collection | Car delivered to you, about two hours | Travel to a branch or airport desk in opening hours |
| Paperwork | In the app | At the desk, plus upsell on insurance and extras |
| Discount here | P48: 10% daily, 8% weekly, 5% monthly, AED 100 cap | Varies by brand |
Where a counter rental can still win is a long monthly hire: the AED 100 cap flattens P48’s 5% to a fixed amount, so on a AED 4,000 month the code is worth 2.5% and a competitor’s headline monthly rate may simply be lower. Compare the total, not the percentage.
This is the cleanest way to understand P48, and it unifies all three tiers into one sentence. The discount is capped at AED 100 per rental, so past a certain rental value the percentage stops mattering entirely and P48 becomes a flat AED 100 voucher. Each tier hits that wall at a different price:
| Tier | Headline rate | Cap binds at | Above that, the code is… |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily | 10% | AED 1,000 | AED 100 flat |
| Weekly | 8% | AED 1,250 | AED 100 flat |
| Monthly | 5% | AED 2,000 | AED 100 flat |
The formula is just cap ÷ rate. And the consequence is the thing worth internalising: what you actually receive is whichever is smaller — the percentage or AED 100. So the real effective rate falls as the rental gets bigger:
| Rental total | Daily tier (10%) | Weekly tier (8%) | Monthly tier (5%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| AED 500 | AED 50 — 10% | AED 40 — 8% | AED 25 — 5% |
| AED 1,000 | AED 100 — 10% | AED 80 — 8% | AED 50 — 5% |
| AED 1,500 | AED 100 — 6.7% | AED 100 — 6.7% | AED 75 — 5% |
| AED 2,000 | AED 100 — 5% | AED 100 — 5% | AED 100 — 5% |
| AED 3,000 | AED 100 — 3.3% | AED 100 — 3.3% | AED 100 — 3.3% |
| AED 4,000 | AED 100 — 2.5% | AED 100 — 2.5% | AED 100 — 2.5% |
Notice the bottom two rows: all three columns are identical. Past AED 2,000 the tier you are on makes no difference at all, because every tier is capped at the same AED 100. “Up to 10% off” is a true statement about a AED 1,000 booking and an irrelevant one about a AED 3,500 one.
Car rental is demand-priced, and the UAE’s expensive months are now — the November-to-March tourist season, the National Day break at the start of December, and Dubai Shopping Festival from early December into mid-January. Rates rise across all of it.
A fixed cap plus a rising price is a shrinking discount. Take the same monthly rental in two seasons:
| Season | Monthly rate | 5% would be | You actually get | Effective |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quiet month | AED 1,800 | AED 90 | AED 90 | 5.0% |
| Peak season | AED 2,600 | AED 130 | AED 100 — capped | 3.8% |
So the code is worth a smaller share of a bigger bill in the exact weeks most people rent. That is not a reason to skip it — AED 100 is AED 100 — but it is a reason to stop treating the headline as your saving, and to book early rather than counting on the code to absorb a peak-season rate. On a long winter rental, the hour you spend comparing base rates is worth more than the code is.
It is the obvious thought once you know the cap is per rental: four weekly bookings mean four caps instead of one. The reason it usually fails is that monthly pricing is much cheaper per day than weekly pricing, so you pay a tier premium to collect those extra caps.
Here is the comparison laid out, with a month at AED 3,000 and a week at AED 850:
| Approach | Before the code | Discount | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| One monthly booking | AED 3,000 | AED 100 (capped) | AED 2,900 |
| Four weekly bookings | AED 3,400 | 4 × AED 68 = AED 272 | AED 3,128 |
The split collects nearly three times the discount and still loses by AED 228, because the weekly premium costs more than the extra caps are worth. But it is close enough to be worth checking, so here is the break-even rather than a verdict:
| Splitting a month into four weeks wins when | a week costs less than (monthly price − 100) ÷ 3.68 |
|---|---|
| At a AED 3,000 month | Split only if a week is under AED 788 |
| At a AED 2,400 month | Split only if a week is under AED 625 |
Check the two live prices before you book a long rental and you will know in thirty seconds which way it goes. Two practical caveats: each booking is a separate delivery and collection, and a split rental has gaps where the car has to be handed back and re-delivered — so even when the arithmetic favours splitting, the convenience cost is real.
eZhire’s distinguishing feature is that it takes no deposit and delivers the car to you. Neither of those is a discount, which is exactly why they get left out of comparisons — and why a cheaper-looking competitor can be the worse deal.
A security deposit is not money spent, but it is money unavailable, usually for the length of the rental plus a settlement period after it. On a card with a modest limit, a four-figure hold during a month-long rental is the difference between having a working card abroad and not. So the comparison to run is not one number but two:
| Compare | eZhire with P48 | A conventional rental |
|---|---|---|
| What you pay | Rate − up to AED 100 | Rate, possibly lower |
| What is held on your card | Nothing | A deposit or pre-authorisation, for the rental plus settlement |
| Getting the car | Delivered to you | Collected from a branch or airport desk |
| What to add to the competitor’s price | — | The taxi or transfer to the pickup desk, both ways |
A competitor AED 50 cheaper that holds a four-figure deposit and needs a trip to the airport desk is not cheaper. Price the whole thing: the rate, the hold, and getting to the car.
A small point that comparisons miss: P48 is applied to the rental charge before the UAE’s 5% VAT, so a full AED 100 cap also removes the VAT that would have been charged on it. The total leaving your account falls by AED 105 — the formula is cap × 1.05.
Your effective percentage is unchanged, because VAT scales the rental and the discount by the same factor and cancels. The point is about cash: if you are comparing VAT-inclusive totals, subtract AED 105. It is also why the same code is worth more in Saudi Arabia, where VAT is three times higher:
| Market | VAT | Cap, pre-tax | Removed from your bill |
|---|---|---|---|
| UAE | 5% | AED 100 | AED 105.00 |
| Saudi Arabia | 15% | ≈ SAR 102 | ≈ SAR 117.30 |
Every page about car hire assumes you have already decided to hire a car. For a short city stay in the UAE that assumption is often wrong, and the decision is worth far more than any discount on this page. So here is the arithmetic nobody runs.
A rental does not cost the daily rate. It costs the rate plus everything attached to it:
| On a three-day Dubai hire | Per day |
|---|---|
| Daily rate | AED 150 |
| Delivery and collection, AED 78 spread over three days | AED 26 |
| Fuel | AED 30 |
| Salik tolls | AED 8 |
| Parking | AED 20 |
| All-in | AED 234 |
Now divide that by what a single journey costs you otherwise. At roughly AED 35 a trip:
| Break-even journeys per day | all-in daily cost ÷ average fare = 234 ÷ 35 ≈ 6.7 |
|---|
You need close to seven separate journeys a day before the car is the cheaper option. A typical city visitor makes three or four — hotel to breakfast, to a mall, to dinner, back. On that pattern, ride-hailing wins comfortably, and the car spends most of the day parked while still costing money.
This is the part worth being honest about on a page whose job is to give you a discount code. P48 caps at AED 100, so on a three-day hire it moves the all-in daily cost from AED 234 to about AED 219 — and the break-even from 6.7 journeys to 6.3.
| Break-even journeys per day | |
|---|---|
| Without the code | 6.7 |
| With P48 | 6.3 |
The code shifts the line by less than half a journey. So it only changes the answer if you were already sitting within a few per cent of it — which almost nobody is. Trip count decides this, not the discount. If the car is the wrong call at full price, a 10% code does not make it the right one.
The break-even flips hard in four situations, and all of them are about trips rather than price:
Conversely, if your stay is a few days in one part of the city with a handful of journeys a day, the honest answer is not to rent — and no cap, tier or crossover on this page changes that.
Before. P48 is applied to the rental charge and the 5% VAT is calculated on the reduced figure, so a full AED 100 cap removes AED 105 from the total you pay — cap × 1.05. Your effective percentage is unchanged, since VAT cancels on both sides, but if you are comparing VAT-inclusive quotes you should subtract AED 105 rather than AED 100.
Whichever is smaller: the tier percentage or AED 100. The cap binds at AED 1,000 on the daily tier, AED 1,250 on weekly and AED 2,000 on monthly — which is cap ÷ rate. Above AED 2,000 every tier gives the same flat AED 100, so a AED 3,000 rental gets 3.3% and a AED 4,000 one gets 2.5%, whatever the headline says.
Because the cap is fixed in dirhams while the rate is not. A monthly rental at AED 1,800 gets the full 5%, or AED 90; the same car at AED 2,600 in peak season would be AED 130 at 5% but is capped at AED 100, an effective 3.8%. So the code is worth a smaller share of a bigger bill in the November-to-March season, over the National Day break and through Dubai Shopping Festival — which is an argument for booking early rather than relying on the code.
Usually not. Monthly pricing is much cheaper per day than weekly, so you pay a tier premium to collect extra caps. On a AED 3,000 month against AED 850 weeks, four bookings collect AED 272 of discount against AED 100 but still cost AED 228 more overall. The break-even is a week costing less than (monthly price − 100) ÷ 3.68 — under AED 788 on a AED 3,000 month. Check both live prices before a long booking.
It is stated per rental, which is what makes the splitting question worth asking at all. Confirm it on your second booking before planning around it, since campaign terms can limit a code to one use per customer.
Compare three things, not one. eZhire takes no deposit and delivers the car to you, so a competitor with a lower headline rate may still hold a four-figure sum on your card for the rental plus a settlement period, and require a trip to a branch or airport desk both ways. Add the transfer cost and the value of not having your card limit tied up before deciding.
P48. It gives 10% off daily rentals, 8% weekly and 5% monthly, each capped at AED 100.
No. eZhire rents without a security deposit, so there is no large hold placed on your card and a debit card works as well as a credit card.
Daily and weekly. The AED 100 cap is fixed, so on a long monthly hire the 5% passes the cap quickly and the discount becomes a flat AED 100.
Yes, from age 21, with a home country licence, an International Driving Permit and a passport showing an entry stamp.
No. Salik tolls, fuel, fines and extras are billed separately and sit outside the discount.
Because the tier follows rental length, not price. A weekly hire gets 8% and a monthly hire 5%, and once the discount reaches AED 100 it stops there whatever the booking is worth.
On a daily or weekly hire it usually works out cheaper once you count the deposit — a counter rental typically holds AED 1,000 to 5,000 on a credit card for days. On a long monthly hire the AED 100 cap flattens the discount, so compare the total rather than the percentage.
Yes. Because there is no security deposit there is no large hold to clear, so a debit card works as well as a credit card — unusual for car rental in the UAE.
Usually about two hours from booking, and collection works the same way. There is no branch to visit and the app is open 24/7.
All seven — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah — plus Al Ain. Car availability still varies by city, so set your emirate before browsing.
UAE residents can rent from 18 with a UAE licence, Emirates ID and passport with visa page. Visitors must be 21 or over.
Visitors do, alongside their home-country licence and a passport with an entry stamp. It cannot be obtained after you arrive, so it is the step tourists most often miss. UAE residents with a local licence do not need one.
Not without arranging it first. Cross-border travel needs prior approval and separate insurance.
P48 runs in both markets, but the booking systems are separate and Saudi coverage is Riyadh only. The AED 100 cap applies there too, which works out around SAR 102.
The Arabic search for this code — the answer is P48. It is also written كود خصم إي زهير.
AED 39 each way excluding VAT, per eZhire’s UAE terms — about AED 78 for a round trip. The coupon does not apply to it, which is why a one-day hire can cost you more in delivery than P48 saves.
Roughly AED 780 on the daily tier and AED 975 on the weekly one. Below that the discount softens the delivery charge rather than discounting the car.
Compare the all-in total. On a AED 250 day you save AED 25 and pay about AED 78 in delivery, so you are AED 53 out of pocket on the fees. The delivery replaces the taxi and the queue at a counter, but it is not free — for a single day, check a counter rental you can walk to.
225 km a day and 1,400 km a week in Dubai and most emirates, but 275 km a day and 1,750 km a week in Abu Dhabi. Monthly is 2,000 km everywhere. Excess starts at AED 0.60 per km on hatchbacks and sedans.
Not comfortably on a Dubai booking. A round trip is roughly 300 km against a 225 km daily allowance, so two such trips in a week will cost more in excess mileage than the code saves. On that pattern the allowance matters more than the rental rate.
It can. eZhire’s terms state that once a booking becomes monthly, a promotional discount is removed or limited to AED 100 — so extending a weekly booking past the monthly threshold can cut the discount you started with. Check the figure before extending rather than after.
An additional driver at AED 25 a day, Salik tolls and traffic fines with a surcharge of up to 15% on fines, optional full insurance, and fuel on a return-as-received basis. Punctures, tyres, wheel caps, aerials and windscreens are not covered by the basic insurance.
