At Sharjah Airport, the security deposit held on your card ranges from $434 with Goldcar to $542 with Budget, and 2 of the 3 counters accept a debit card. Goldcar and Drivus accept debit cards for deposits, while Budget strictly requires a credit card in the driver's name.

If you bring your own child seat, check your airline's rules first: most carry one free, some charge.

The main catch at Sharjah Airport is booking with a desk that rejects debit cards when you arrive ready to drive. One of the 3 counters refuses debit cards entirely, requiring a credit card with at least $542 in available credit. While all desks are conveniently located in the terminal, missing card requirements can halt your trip before you even leave the airport. Bring a credit card in the lead driver's name to avoid unwanted surprises at the counter.

Only 35% of prices at Sharjah Airport are full tank out, full tank back, so read the fuel line under the car before you book.
