Enter your arrival and departure dates and let the search function bring up all available cars from leading local suppliers, including Avis, Budget, and Hertz. You can then compare each make and model with their prices and choose a vehicle that both meets your preferred style and budget.
Each vehicle booked through Airport Rentals comes with a lowest-price guarantee, as well as free cancellations and amendments on most cars should you need to make a change after booking.
What to do with your car rental in Sharjah
Start your visit to Sharjah with a wander around the Al Majaz waterfront. The main point of interest is the Sharjah Fountain, one of the biggest in the Gulf with jets shooting water 100 metres into the air. This entrancing feature spans 220 metres in front of the piazza and performs displays multiple times a day with lasers, video, lights and audio. The area is rich with cafes and restaurants, so pick a spot to spend the evening and enjoy the local fare as the sun goes down on the colourful and mesmerising show before you.
Enjoy a view of the city from the ‘Eye of the Emirates’, a ferris wheel that will have you gliding 60 metres up in the air in a comfortable air-conditioned pod. It’s open until midnight most days and 1am on Thursday and Friday evenings, so you can take a magical ride to see the city lit up at night.
Dive into the culture of Sharjah with a peruse through one of the many souks in the city. Most are found behind Corniche Road, but the most famous and largest is easily the Central Souq, or Blue Souq. It’s home to approximately 600 shops, so you can pick up anything from antique ornaments, to electronics, cosmetics, gold jewellery, perfumes and so much more.
