Renting a Car in Syria for UAE Tourists: Luxury and Practical Options

Travelers from the UAE visiting Syria often want two things: comfort and control. A rental car delivers both, and for those who prefer to be driven, a private driver is available. Here is how it works for UAE tourists, and what Auris genuinely provides in Damascus.

Auris coverage in Syria

Auris operates in Damascus and at Damascus International Airport. Pickup is available in Damascus city — including Kafr Sousa and Qaysar — or at the airport when the service is running. Hotel or address delivery within Damascus is possible on request, depending on availability. We are deliberately clear about where we operate: we do not advertise branches in cities we do not serve.

Documents for UAE nationals and residents

Bring your passport and a valid driving licence. A UAE licence is generally accepted for short visits; an International Driving Permit alongside it adds certainty at checkpoints. The main driver should meet the minimum rental age and hold the booking in their name. UAE residents travelling on another passport should carry that passport plus their licence.

Arriving in Damascus

Most UAE visitors arrive by air at Damascus International Airport, where a meet-and-greet pickup can be arranged around your flight when available. Share your flight number on WhatsApp and the team confirms the meeting point before finalising.

Luxury, family, or economy

UAE travelers often look for premium comfort — VIP vehicles are available for that. Families are well served by mid-size SUVs, groups by vans, and short city trips by economy cars. If you would rather not drive yourself, request a private driver who knows the city.

booking and payment

Auris keeps the process personal: there is no online card payment, and every booking is confirmed manually by the team. Check live availability and prices on the website, or send your dates and pickup point by WhatsApp for a direct reply in Arabic. For peak summer travel, reserve your preferred class early.
