Yes, you can rent a car in Dubai with an International Driving Permit (IDP). At Octane.Rent, tourists need to provide a passport, visit visa, home-country driving license, and an IDP. If your license is from a country on the UAE's approved list (such as the US, UK, EU countries, or Australia), it may be accepted directly.
