Cheap Thrifty Car Hire in Sharjah

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's controls and features before driving off. Knowing how to operate essentials like headlights, wipers, and navigation systems can enhance safety and convenience.

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

Knowing local laws helps prevent fines and makes your driving experience smoother.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Sharjah, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

Before driving away in Sharjah, thoroughly inspect the car for any damage. Document any existing damage with photos or video to avoid disputes later on.
