Car Rental in Dubai

Dubai Motor City is a unique residential and business district in southern Dubai, built around a motorsports theme with Dubai Autodrome as its impressive centerpiece. Five rental companies offer a wide range of vehicles, from economy cars to sports cars. Expo City Dubai is 15 minutes away and Dubai Marina is 25 minutes away via Al Khail Road.

Motor City is characterized by wide avenues, low-density development, and a relaxed pace compared to northern Dubai. Dubai Autodrome regularly hosts racing events and driving experiences open to the public. The neighboring Sports City district with Hamdan Sports Complex and ICC Academy Cricket Ground is right next door.

Visit Dubai Autodrome during a race event – drive there early, parking is free but fills quickly. Al Qudra Cycle Track and desert safari starting points south of Motor City are 20 minutes away – consider renting an SUV for these excursions. Ibn Battuta Mall is the nearest major shopping center, 15 minutes north – perfect for stocking up on supplies.

Can I drive on Dubai Autodrome with my rental car? No, Dubai Autodrome requires private vehicles or rental cars through their own program. Standard rental car agreements do not cover track driving.

How long does it take from Motor City to Dubai Airport? Approximately 35–45 minutes via Al Khail Road and E311, a distance of about 35 km. Is Motor City a good area to pick up a car for a desert trip?

Absolutely – the southern location provides quick access to desert routes toward Al Qudra and Hatta, without having to drive through the entire city.
