People in Dubai are fairly rich and love traveling. In and around Dubai there are many places to visit and people are always traveling using their big luxurious cars. The petrol pumps are far apart and mostly cars in Dubai are kept full of petrol.
Travelers to Dubai can rent a car at the airport from one of the rental agencies. Most Dubai cars would normally be huge, and luxurious. Dubai cars would normally be right handed as you generally would drive on the right side of the road in Dubai. To rent a car and drive it around as a tourist is very convenient. You will need an international driving license and also keep your country driving license handy.
Spare parts if the car breaks down would be expensive, and so if you are aware of cars and would like to carry your own repair kit for the car you are advised to do so. Insurance of the vehicle and of you is extremely essential. It is generally noticed that Dubai cars are generally driven around at great speeds as the roads are long and straight, and of extremely good quality.
Many brands of cars are sold in Dubai. The people here are having expensive tastes and fuel is very cheap. Some of the cars that you can buy in Dubai are Hafei Motors –Min Yi Pickup, Mercedes Benz G 55 AMG, Peugeot 307 cc, Honda CRV, BMW X5, Honda Accord, Lexus LX 570, BMW 330i, and Mitsubishi Pajero. There is a big market for new cars, as well as used cars. People would normally own more than one car, and perhaps choose the car to travel for the day to match the color of their cloths.
While driving around in Dubai you can keep certain important points in mind. Keep an up to date map handy with you. There is no need to fear if you drive at high speed. All are rushing or speeding past on Dubai roads probably with good belief in God and an open mind to slam their breaks real quickly if required.
Between 5:00 am to 1:00 pm in the morning the traffic is real bad on the roads. Again in the evening the traffic is a bit rushed. If you slow down at a yellow light, then the Dubai police will try to give you a ticket. If the lights turn green and you are the first one at the intersection then do not bother much about the other Dubai cars honking your car.
You rule the roads with your bigger cars like a Land Cruiser, or a Mercedes. Dubai cars of the variety of Corolla, Sunny, or any other small car, is not much use bothering about on the roads.
As you go past intersections the names of the roads change and so if you are on a Dubai car just be aware that the name of the road has only changed and you are not really lost. A minimum speed of 150 kilometer per hour on some roads is not surprising if you are in a Dubai car and so do not get scared if the driver speeds past on certain stretch.
