    Our whole family is heading to Dubai for two weeks, and we need to rent a spacious car to drive to the beaches and parks. We’re worried that the security deposit will eat into our budget, so we’d like to find a rental with reasonable terms that doesn’t require a large deposit. If anyone has rented a car in Dubai with kids, please let us know which models are most comfortable and if there are any companies that are lenient about minor interior damage.

    I rented a car in Dubai - I went with a compact crossover, and there was plenty of room. I found a deal that didn’t require a large deposit and came with good insurance. It’s very convenient to book in advance so you can hop in and drive right away upon arrival. With kids, it’s a real lifesaver. In my experience, it’s best to go with trusted companies, such as https://rentdrive.ae/ I recommend getting full coverage so you don’t have to worry about scratches. The prices are reasonable - it works out cheaper if you rent for a week. The car was clean and in good working order. All in all, make sure to choose a car with plenty of space, especially if you’re traveling with your family.

    Thank you for the detailed answer. Could you tell me how likely it is to find a car seat for rent, and whether they charge an additional deposit for it? And another question about car seats: are they usually clean and in good condition, or is it better to bring your own from home?
