Car Rental & Leasing in DMCC Free Zone

Renting and leasing vehicles to tourists, residents and corporate fleets

DMCC Free Zone combines world's #1 free zone (Fitch) with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, and that is why it suits both first-time company owners and established groups. A DMCC Free Zone company can be owned entirely by foreign nationals, needs no local sponsor and can start trading internationally as soon as the licence is released. Typical examples of this activity include tourist car rental, long-term leasing, luxury car rental and chauffeur services, which can for most applicants sit together on one DMCC Free Zone licence. GoldenKey has licensed car rental company businesses for clients in DMCC Free Zone and knows which sub-activities to list so you are not asked to amend the licence later.

Day to day, the authority permits Free Zone Company (DMCC FZE), Free Zone Company (DMCC FZCO), Branch and Subsidiary, which covers solo entrepreneurs, partnerships and overseas groups opening a UAE branch. DMCC Free Zone is a sensible home for car rental & leasing because renting and leasing vehicles to tourists, residents and corporate fleets is a well-understood activity there and the approvals are routine.
