Anyone residing in the UAE will need to have a UAE driver’s license and a Residential Visa or an Emirates ID to apply for and rent an SUV in Dubai.
If you’re touring the city as a visitor, you should bring your passport to the counter along with your state license, permit that allows you to drive in another country, and a Visit Visa. If you live in either the UK, Europe, GCC, Canada, or the US, you may not need to have an IDP.
