Cars are a very popular mode of transport in Dubai. All the top models are available here through chartered dealers, much cheaper than elsewhere in the world; especially the top American and Japanese brands. Most expats are amazed by the low cost as compared to the cost in their own countries. For instance, a Jeep wrangler in US would cost around Dhs. 88,150 and in UK Dhs. 110,500, while in Dubai, it costs just Dhs. 74,000! The low cost, combined with cheaper fuel  and maintenance enables most people to afford better cars than they would back home. In order to own a car, you need to have a UAE residence VISA and have a UAE driving license. There are a number of insurance policies available, most covering multiple drivers including your spouse.    Dealers for various car brands in Dubai AGMC (BMW) Al Futtaim Motors (Toyota) Al Ghandi Automotive (GMC) Al Habtoor Motors (Mitsubishi) Al Majid Motors (Kia) Al Naboodah Automobiles – (Audi and Volkswagen) Al Rostamani Trading Company (Suzuki) Al Tayer Motors (Ford, Rover, Maserati) Al Yousuf Motors (Daihatsu) Arabian Automobiles (Nissan)  Autostar Trading (Skoda) Galadari Automobiles (Mazda) Gargash Enterprises LLC – (Mercedes Benz)  Gargash Motors ( SAAB, Geeli) Juma Al Majid Establishment (Hyundai) Liberty Automobiles Co.
