Best and convenient

A great life saver for anyone who doesn’t own a car. Only the main thing you should consider that the return of the car just before the allotted time to avoid surprise bills and drive allotted distance as well. Book it.. Ride it .. Enjoy it 👏

Convenient and reliable car rental service

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’ve had a great experience using Udrive. The app is easy to use, booking a car is quick, and the vehicles are generally clean and well maintained. It’s a very convenient option for short trips, and the pricing is competitive. The flexibility of picking up and dropping off cars makes it a great choice for anyone looking for a hassle-free rental experience. Overall, a reliable service that I would recommend.

Only use if desperate

If you’re desperate for a short term ride, go for it. If not, stay away, it is probably the most expensive out of all the apps in Dubai. Also, the biggest frustration of them all and if you have used it as much as I have, in the beginning its fine but eventually you start to notice that when you book through the app, you walk to where the car supposedly is and its not there. Save your money for either an app that you can hire for long term, and cheaper, since they also offer long term hire but at an extortionate price, or save up and just get your own car.

I got charged for parking

I was charged 125 AED for parking at my home location, where everyone parks and there’s no RTA zone anywhere nearby except about 10 minutes down the road. The same issue happens at work. When all designated parking is full, I parked on the ground floor in a visible, easy to find spot and even informed the driver via WhatsApp.

There is no clear guidance or disclaimer in the app about where or how to park. You only find out after being charged, which is frustrating, especially as a new user trying to follow the process correctly. When I tried to explain this, there was no support or understanding.

I’ve also had multiple experiences where the car is not parked where the app says it is, which makes finding it unnecessarily difficult. A simple improvement would be allowing users to upload a photo of where they parked the car to help others locate it easily.

Additionally, I’ve unlocked cars through the app before and the doors didn’t open, which adds to the overall reliability issues.

Overall, the experience feels inconsistent and unclear, and it needs better communication, functionality, and user support.

Best option to move around UAE

I have been using the app for a couple of days and if you have your own UAE license or an international and don’t have a car yet, this app is the best option for economic rides.

The app still needs improvement at the Ux/Ui side, but they compensate that with a pretty good and responsive Customer support service.

So far so good!

Dr. Z

This company became a garbage , will never use it anymore. After using it frequently for two years
No correct locations at all , you spend time and money to go to the car location then you don’t find it . Beside the greedy 8 dirham at start .
Also the delay to end the ride
Just want to collect money without any improvements
Goodbye y its the end

Super easy

Simple and straightforward

Scammers

They are scammers. You rent a car and they do not top up fuel balance. I called them, operator instructed to park car and request refund. But later they denied.

Doesn't work

The app doesn't work with e& sim card internet. Only works with wifi!

Good application

Good application

Very biased

What once upon a time was a fair app has now totally become a biased app towards the whites who stay in Marina area .. all the cars are kept there and no where else .. nor discovery nor Furjan .. ther was once a time that cars where available everywhere which showed the spread layout of the app .. but now its only Marina area ..

Great Customer Service

I rented a Pajero from Udrive and I didn’t read the free fuel terms properly before filling up at an emerat petrol station. I was surprised to find out that Udrive only supports Eppco and Enoc in Dubai and when I reached out to the customer service, they informed me that I only needed to provide them with the refueling bill. It took less than 15 minutes after I provided the bill to be refunded in the form of Udrive credits. 100% would recommend!

Udrive – Redefining Urban Mobility with Unmatched Convenience and Value

If there’s one word to describe Udrive, it’s revolutionary. This car rental service has completely transformed the way we experience mobility in the UAE. What makes Udrive stand out is its brilliantly simple yet highly effective pricing model — one that includes both fuel and RTA parking costs in the rental fee. That’s right, no hidden charges, no extra fees — just pure value.

The flexibility is unmatched. You can pick up a car from virtually anywhere and drop it off at any RTA parking space when you’re done. Whether it’s a spontaneous errand or a planned outing, Udrive adapts to your schedule effortlessly.

Another standout feature is their partnership with ADNOC. Running low on fuel? Simply pull into any ADNOC station and they’ll refuel the car for free — no questions asked. It’s convenience at its finest and a game-changer for users who want seamless, stress-free travel.

Udrive isn’t just a car rental service — it’s the definition of extreme convenience. Affordable, accessible, and thoughtfully designed, it sets a new benchmark in urban mobility. Highly recommended for anyone who values time, efficiency, and smart travel solutions.

Hi Andy, wow—thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed 5-star review! 🌟 We're thrilled to know Udrive has made such a strong impact on your experience in the UAE. Your words truly inspire our team to keep innovating and delivering smart, seamless mobility. 🚗💙

Fraud company

Don’t use this service, they charge you extremely shady charges and customer care is also fraud. They charge you parking fine even if you park in proper non-residential parking and then wait for you to call and after some time may refund the money. Read their charges extremely carefully. It is much costlier than taxis at least by 7 AED. App itself is pathetic and their location is always wrong!

Response from developer

Hi Mithun, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand how frustrating unexpected charges can feel. Please note that parking in Abu Dhabi is covered by Udrive only in standard Mawaqif public parking zones that do not turn into residential after 9 PM, as outlined in our FAQ and Terms. All fines are issued by the authorities and only passed on to the user after official confirmation. Refunds are not dependent on customer follow-up—they're processed as soon as verification is complete. We’re sorry if the app location was inaccurate during your trip—this can sometimes happen due to weak GPS signals or coverage issues, but we're constantly working to improve it. Your comments about support and service have been noted and shared with our team. We'll reach out to assist you further. 🚗✨

Great experience

As a Canadian, I used this app only twice, so far (in UAE), very convenient, helpful and most importantly economical especially in this city.
Some options in app can be better and more users friendly (like choosing first method of payment) but overall very good.
Also in my second experience, I had a travel to the next city Sharjah and found out can’t end my trip in the other cities, so I spent more. After sharing this with customs service, although it was my honest mistake, he did a great job (Karim) and gave me some partial credit refund.
Overall highly recommended.
