Important: Please note that Driving License Requirement details are subject to updates. While we strive to provide the most current information, Falcon Rides does not take responsibility for its accuracy. Refer to the UAE Government website for the latest details.
Passport Information
For all UAE residents, a copy of their passport (photo ID page and visa page) is required at the time of rental. Tourists and visitors must provide a valid UAE entry visa along with a passport.
Flacon Rides will ask for copies of the passport and visa during booking to avoid issues at the collection stage.
Method of Payment
A valid credit card in the renter’s name is required. At vehicle pick-up, estimated rental charges are taken upfront, and a pre-authorization is done according to the contract terms. Debit cards are not accepted for security blocking but can be used for payments. All major credit cards are accepted.
Credit cards are our preferred mode of payment; however, cash and debit cards may be used at some Falcon Rides counters when settling dues.
