Dubai enforces speed limits with cameras and any buffer is not something to rely on — drive at or below the posted limit. On a rental, fines are the driver's responsibility and are usually reconciled with the vendor.

- Fines on a rental car
Dubai enforces speed limits with cameras, and the rules are worth understanding before you drive — especially in a rental car.
How enforcement works
Speed is monitored by fixed and mobile cameras across the emirate. Limits are clearly signposted; the safest approach is simply to drive at or below the posted limit, as any buffer varies and should not be relied on.
Fines on a rental car
A fine registered against the car is ultimately the driver's responsibility. Rental vendors typically reconcile any fines incurred during your rental — ask your vendor how they handle this at pickup so there are no surprises later.
