Dubai World Central is the original name of the large development around Al Maktoum International Airport, known by its code DWC. The wider district is now branded Dubai South. The airport sits in the south-west of Dubai, near Expo City Dubai and Jebel Ali, and it handles passenger and cargo flights.
This page is for travellers flying into or out of DWC. The airport is a long way from central Dubai, and public transport links are more limited than at Dubai International. If you want to rent a car at Dubai World Central, planning ahead is essential. Quick Lease offers daily, weekly and monthly plans with arranged handovers and delivery.
How to Get a Rental Car at DWC
Quick Lease does not list a desk at Al Maktoum International Airport. You have three options:
- Arranged airport handover: Quick Lease's FAQ says airport returns may be available at selected locations. Contact the team before you fly to ask whether a DWC handover can be arranged.
- Hotel delivery: Have the car delivered to your hotel in Dubai South, Jebel Ali or elsewhere.
- Branch collection: Take a taxi to a branch, such as Al Barsha behind Mall of the Emirates (open daily 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM).
Share your flight number and arrival time when you book, and update the team if your flight changes.
Why a Car Makes Sense After Landing at DWC
- Long distances: Downtown, Dubai Marina and Abu Dhabi are all a long drive from DWC.
- Fewer transport options: A car avoids long taxi rides and waits.
- Flexibility: You can head straight to meetings, hotels or family.
- Abu Dhabi access: DWC is well placed for trips to the capital.
Choosing Your Car
- Midsize sedans: Comfortable for long highway drives from the airport.
- SUVs: Space for families and large suitcases.
- Economy cars: Good value for solo travellers.
- Luxury cars: For business travellers and special trips.

Rental Plans
Each listing shows a daily, weekly and monthly rate side by side.
- Daily: A short stopover or a single transfer.
- Weekly: Most holidays and business trips.
- Monthly: Long assignments and new residents in Dubai South.
Prices depend on the car, the dates and any current offer. Ask about mileage if you plan long drives between Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Documents to Keep in Your Hand Luggage
- Passport and visa or entry stamp
- Your home-country driving licence
- International Driving Permit, if your licence requires one
- UAE residents: Emirates ID and a valid UAE licence
Send copies to the team before you fly to speed up the handover.
Driving Away from DWC
- Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) links to central Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi.
- Emirates Road (E611) heads north towards the northern emirates.
- Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) is reachable for Jebel Ali, Dubai Marina and Abu Dhabi.
- Expo City Dubai is close by for events and exhibitions.
Speed cameras are common on these highways. Salik toll gates operate on some Dubai roads, and Abu Dhabi uses Darb. Ask how tolls are billed.
Tips for DWC Travellers
- Book at least a day ahead, and earlier for big events at Expo City Dubai.
- Fill up before long drives. Petrol stations can be spread out near the airport.
- Set your navigation before you start driving.
- Rest if you are tired after a long flight.
- Allow plenty of time to return the car before your departure.
Returning the Car for Your Flight
Agree the return place and time a few days before you fly. DWC is far from many parts of Dubai, so allow extra driving time. Remove all your belongings, keep your fuel receipt and head to departures early.
Cargo and Logistics Visitors
Many people visit the DWC area for cargo and logistics work. A weekly or monthly rental suits project visits. For heavy loads, ask about commercial vehicles. If your team visits often, a monthly plan or corporate lease can keep costs steady. Tell the team your site and gate details so the handover goes smoothly.
How to Book
- Choose a car that fits your group and luggage.
- Send your flight details and dates, or call 800 78425.
- Share your passport, visa and licence copies.
- Agree an airport handover, hotel delivery or branch collection.
- Inspect the car and confirm the return plan.
WhatsApp and email (bookings@quicklease.ae) work just as well.
