Today I felt the need to get a rental at last and for some silly reason I thought it would be nice and cheap like in Qatar... AED 3700 a month!!!! That is 2000 more than we were paying in Doha. Admittedly I did get one from Avis which is within walking distance from home. Quite a few of the local companies require you to have held a UAE license for 12 months before they will rent to you. I know there has to be cheaper companies out there, but it is just a matter of finding them! So for now I will act like a silly western expat with an overpriced car until I can work it all out a little better.
While the taxis are plentiful and cheap we really did need our own transport to have that sense of freedom and be able to go where we want, when we want. It gets a little difficult with the three of us to get a taxi when we are not even sure where we are going; so we can finally start exploring.
