How to Handle Emergency Breakdowns with Your Rental Car in Dubai
Sunday, 29 Jun 2025

Any unexpected car problem can spoil any trip- unless you are ready. Whether you are touring the urban areas or you are going to the desert, it is always good to know how to handle emergencies in your rental car and this will save you time, money and stress. Your security and ease of mind is our number one concern at Quick Lease.

Common Emergency Scenarios to Expect with a Rental Car

Before panic sets in, understanding the most likely road emergencies in Dubai can make all the difference.

Flat Tires or Punctures on Dubai Roads

Tire problems are more likely to occur because of driving on varied terrain in Dubai. In the case of a flat in your rental car, move to a safe place, engage hazard lights, and change the flat or repair it with the help of an spare tire or an emergency repair kit (if provided). Roadside assistance is another service provided by Quick Lease- all one has to do is call and we will take care of the situation in a quick manner.

Engine Overheating Under the Desert Sun

Dubai has extreme heat which may lead to the engine of your rental car overheating particularly in summer. Dashboard indicators should always be monitored. In case of overheating, pull aside and turn off the air conditioner and open the hood slowly to allow the engine to cool. Always open the radiator cap when the engine is cooled-down- wait to be assisted.

Battery Failure During Long Parking Hours

Left your lights on accidentally? Battery failures are common, particularly after overnight parking. If your rental car doesn’t start, contact Quick Lease’s emergency service. Instead, go out and find other drivers in the neighborhood or parking attendants who can help in jump-starting.

Essential Safety Gear to Always Keep in Your Rental Car

Planning wins over panic no matter the situation. In case of driving a rental car in Dubai, make sure that you have the following things in your car at any time:

A Reliable First Aid Kit

A well-equipped first aid kit would be able to take care of minor burns or cuts before professional assistance can be traced. While every rental car from Quick Lease includes this essential gear, check its condition when you receive the vehicle.

Spare Tire, Jack, and Basic Tool Kit

These items are standard in every Quick Lease rental car. Ensure that they are with them before taking off. Get used to using them so that you are not confused when emergencies strike.

Portable Phone Charger or Power Bank

The nightmare of every driver is to be left stuck with a non-functional phone. A powered bank will also help you stay connected when you rent a car, in case the battery of your phone gets flat.

What to Do After an Accident with Your Rental Car

Even careful drivers may have accidents. Keep a cool head and do the following to save you and your rental car contract:

  1. If it is possible, park the car in a safe place.
  2. Turn on hazard lights and set up warning triangles.
  3. Call Dubai Police (999) to report the incident a police report is mandatory for insurance claims.
  4. Inform Quick Lease immediately to activate support and begin insurance processing.
  5. Exchange details with other parties but avoid admitting fault or discussing the cause on-site.

Remember, most rental car agreements from Quick Lease cover basic accident insurance, but reviewing your policy beforehand is wise.

Proactive Measures to Avoid Rental Car Emergencies

As much as dealing with emergencies is important, it is better to prevent them. Here’s how to minimize risk with your Quick Lease rental car:

Regular Pre-Drive Checks

Make sure to check tires, lights and fluid levels before you take a long drive. A short inspection would eliminate failures in remote locations.

Use Reliable Navigation Apps

Google Maps or Waze are reliable navigation tools that will not lead you through risky or poorly developed roads. Such apps also give alert of traffic congestions, road construction, or accident prone areas.

Know Dubai’s Emergency Numbers

Have emergency numbers close to hand, 999 in case of police, 998 in case of ambulance, and the number of Quick Lease roadside assistance. With prompt response, you will not only rescue your trip but also your rental car.

Conclusion: Be Prepared, Stay Safe with Quick Lease

Car rental in Dubai is a feeling of freedom, but with freedom comes responsibility. Be prepared with the knowledge and necessary tools and the services of Quick Lease and every drive will remain smooth, safe, and stress-free. It could be a flat tire within the city or an engine problem in the desert; we are just a call away.
