Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced the launch of an online Transportation Activities Rental System (TARS) to offer a car rental system in Dubai.
The system will offer corporate and individual clients with a smart system to rent all types of vehicles.
Abdullah Yousef Al Ali, CEO of RTA Licensing Agency said, “This new system charts out a comprehensive and flexible regulatory framework to streamline the business of the car rental sector, and covers all types of rentable vehicles. It contains revised legislation and improved regulations that cover all car rental activities overseen by RTA. The system, in particular, applies to light vehicles, heavy vehicles, light buses, heavy buses and motorbikes. It also streamlines the relationship between car rental companies and their clients.
He further added, “In line with the government’s digital transformation strategy and the use of cutting-edge technology in planning and monitoring, such as blockchain and artificial intelligence, the system is considered the first of its kind in issuing smart car rental contracts across the emirate. RTA applied the corporate agility approach in developing the system out of its commitment to keep pace with the latest global practices of the industry. The project contributes to the growth of the car rental sector and caters to the accompanying market variables.”
Development of the key features for the system has been completed and has been activated for use by all companies.
989 car rental companies in Dubai have been trained on how to use the system and have familiarised them with its features and will also start training new companies that do not have systems of their own.
