SelfDrive Mobility Launches Back-to-School Car Rentals

Dubai, UAE – SelfDrive Mobility has rolled out its Back-to-School car rentals across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, offering flat monthly pricing from AED 1,049. For the first time, the expanded fleet now includes hatchbacks. With no penalties for early returns or extensions, the campaign targets students, parents, and professionals preparing to resume routine life this academic year.

Affordable and Flexible Mobility Solutions

The new Back-to-School car rentals meet the rising demand for short- and medium-term transport options. Each package includes 3,000 km per month, flexible rental durations of up to 12 months, and a seamless digital experience. Customers can book, compare, and manage vehicles entirely online, avoiding paperwork and branch visits. Moreover, transparent pricing ensures affordability while flexible terms provide peace of mind.

Mobility Trends Driving Demand

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority reported a 43% surge in rental vehicles in 2024, with more than 71,000 now operating across the emirate. Rental companies grew by 33%, while demand for premium and electric vehicles accelerated. Furthermore, with expatriates accounting for nearly 88% of the UAE’s population, the need for commitment-free mobility continues to rise. SelfDrive’s tech-enabled solutions respond directly to these market shifts, offering users choice without financial strain.

Hatchbacks Join the 2025 Lineup

This year’s highlight is the addition of compact, fuel-efficient hatchbacks. These cars are ideal for navigating city traffic and university campuses, complementing the existing lineup of sedans and SUVs. Every vehicle is dealer-maintained, insured, and available with transparent pricing. Additionally, users benefit from the freedom to return or extend their rentals without penalty, breaking away from the constraints of ownership or long-term leasing.
