Any hidden costs to watch for when renting commercial vans during Dubai sales seasons? Want to budget accurately.

Oh yeah, plenty of hidden charges if you’re not careful. Beyond base rental rate watch for: Salik tolls (billed separately, adds up fast with deliveries), fuel surcharges during peak season, after-hours pickup/return fees, additional driver fees if you have multiple drivers, excess mileage charges, cleaning fees if van comes back dirty, late return penalties. I use Octane Rent and they’re pretty transparent but always ask for total all-in pricing. This checklist https://www.consultancy-me.com/news/12463/small-business-checklist-for-renting-commercial-vans-in-dubai-during-holiday-seasons-and-sales covers common extra costs. Get written quote showing every charge. Some companies sneak in admin fees, GPS rental charges, insurance excess. During holidays they know you’re desperate so might add premium. Read contract carefully before signing, question anything unclear.
