Where to go to rent a Ferrari in Dubai?
In Dubai it is not uncommon to see some of the most exotic cars in the world racing down its 12 lane roads. Driving a Ferrari might seem a pipe dream in most other parts of the world, but not here in Dubai where many Ferraris grace the roads along with other luxury cars including Bentleys, Aston Martins and Lamborghinis. If driving a luxury car has always been your dream and you are lucky enough to be able to afford one, the Ferrari combines speed and luxury for an unforgettable driving experience. You can enjoy the thrill of driving without the worries of maintenance, garaging or depreciation.
Additionally, the roads here are wide with relatively high speed limits, particularly in neighboring Abu Dhabi, making driving a superior machine like the Ferrari an absolute pleasure. The weather is sunny for most of the year so driving with the top down can be exhilarating. Below are a few tips on driving your Ferrari in Dubai:
- Minimum age of the driver should be 25 years.
- The speed limit on most highways in Dubai is between 100kmph and 120 kmph. On interior roads, these limits are much lower ranging between 40, 60 and 80 kmph in school and residential zones.
- Highways are controlled by speed radars, which are usually set to about 20kmph above the speed limit particularly on major roads such as the Sheikh Zayed Road and the Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road. However, some radars are set to the exact speed limit so be sure not to get carried away when driving your Ferrari. Some, not all, interior roads are also monitored for speed.
- The best day to enjoy Dubai’s clean and beautifully maintained roads is a Friday. This is a holiday in Dubai and you will find the roads pretty much everywhere in the emirate almost deserted making this the best time to enjoy the experience of driving your Ferrari.
- There are several roundabouts in Dubai. When negotiating these, give way to traffic from the left.
