PAYMENT AND RENTAL STRUCTURE
Short-Term Rentals (1–20 days) — Billed at daily or weekly rates. Early returns recalculated at applicable rate with no refunds. Failure to renew or pay on time classifies the rental as overdue.
Monthly Rentals (21–30 days) — Monthly rate applies only when the full period is completed. Early returns recalculated at daily/weekly rates with no refunds.
Long-Term Rentals (3 months+) — Early termination triggers a surcharge on the remaining contract value; all long-term discounts become void and standard rates apply retroactively.
Payment Terms — All rental fees must be paid in advance before the rental begins or before any extension is approved. Failure to pay on or before the due date constitutes Default.
Payments may be made by bank transfer, credit/debit card, or via online link. A 2.9% administrative fee applies to all card and online link transactions.
Salik tolls and DARB entries are charged at the actual toll amount plus AED 1 per entry. All Salik parking fees are charged at 1.25× the paid parking amount.
