SelfDrive Mobility projects 30% growth in GCC

Western expats driving demand for car rentals in UAE during Eid

SelfDrive Mobility, a leading mobility tech company and market pioneer in car rental and subscription services across the Middle East, anticipates a significant surge in demand as GCC nationals and Western expats make up a major share of inbound travellers to the UAE.

With projections indicating that over 75% of visitors will be from the GCC and more than 35% will be Western expats, SelfDrive is poised to achieve more than 30% growth in the coming months.

The UAE remains a top destination for business and leisure travellers, with a growing number of visitors seeking flexible, hassle-free mobility solutions. SelfDrive’s advanced car rental platform offers a seamless booking experience with a wide range of vehicles, including economy, luxury, and electric cars, catering to the evolving needs of travellers.

“This surge in inbound traffic, especially from the GCC and Western markets, reflects a strong demand for convenient and tech-driven mobility solutions. With our digital-first approach and an extensive fleet, we are well-positioned to cater to the needs of short-term visitors and long-term residents alike,” said Soham Shah, CEO and Founder of SelfDrive Mobility.

The platform’s ability to offer multi-currency transactions, paperless rentals, and doorstep delivery has made it a preferred choice for regional and international travellers. As the UAE continues to witness a boom in tourism, business activities, and major global events, SelfDrive remains at the forefront of providing innovative and customer-centric mobility solutions.

SelfDrive Mobility, established in 2017 in the UAE, has rapidly grown into a leading car rental and subscription platform, offering smart mobility solutions with maximum flexibility. With operations across the UAE, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, KSA, UK, Ireland, and Turkey, SelfDrive Mobility has served over 1.5 million customers from 95 different nationalities. The platform provides unique access to more than 100 car models from 50+ renowned brands directly from dealerships, ensuring a perfect match for every customer’s needs.
