Dubai Media city Car Hire

Dubai Media City is one of Dubai's leading business and media districts, located along Sheikh Zayed Road in New Dubai. With three rental companies on-site, it's easy to pick up a car and move on – Dubai Marina is 5 minutes away and Mall of the Emirates is 10 minutes away. The district is well-known for its modern office complexes and international media companies.

Media City borders Dubai Internet City and Knowledge Village, creating a cohesive business cluster along the highway. The Palms and Jumeirah Beach Hotel are visible on the horizon and are 15 minutes away by car. The area has good access to the Nakheel Harbour & Tower metro station if you want to combine car rental with public transport.

Traffic along Sheikh Zayed Road at the Media City exit is heavy between 8–9 and 17–19 – plan your drives outside these times. Use the Salik tag included in most rental car agreements – you'll frequently pass toll roads in this area. JBR Beach and Dubai Marina Walk are perfect evening destinations, just 10 minutes' drive from Media City.
