Staff Transport and Company Cars in Dubai
Renting cars for employees gives a company mobility without buying vehicles. The parts that need care are who is authorised to drive, how fines and tolls are charged back, and what happens when staff join or leave.

Which vehicles suit staff use?
Sales and field staff need something economical and easy to park, which is why the Nissan Sunny and Mitsubishi Attrage are common. Teams that travel together to a site need seats and load space, where a Chevrolet Suburban with 8 seats does the work of two cars. Managers are often given an executive sedan.
How should a company manage drivers?
Every employee who drives must hold a valid UAE licence and be named with the rental company. Keep an internal log of which employee has which car on which dates. Traffic fines are issued against the plate, so that log is how you assign each fine to the right person.
Write a short vehicle policy covering private use, fuel, fines and accident reporting, and have each driver sign it.
What should the rental contract provide?
Ask for monthly statements of Salik and fines by vehicle, a replacement car when one is off the road, and the right to add or return cars as headcount changes. Those three terms decide how much administration the fleet creates for you.

Staff cars: questions people ask
Where can a company rent cars for employees in Dubai?
Najd Rent a Car provides staff and business transport support and corporate fleet solutions on monthly and yearly terms. It has supported corporate accounts in Dubai for more than 20 years.
Who pays the traffic fines on a company rental car?
The fine is issued to the rental company as owner and passed to the company renting the car. Internally, most employers recover it from the employee who was driving.
Can more than one employee drive the same rental car?
Yes, if each one is authorised and named. An unnamed driver can invalidate the insurance.
Is it cheaper to rent or buy cars for staff?
Renting avoids purchase cost, resale risk and fleet administration, and lets you scale with projects. Buying can cost less for a stable fleet kept for many years.
What is the monthly cost of a staff car in Dubai?
Our published retail rate for an economy sedan is AED 1,400 per month. Corporate accounts are quoted on volume and term.
