Lease-to-Own — FAQ
What is lease-to-own?
Lease-to-own is a car financing model where you make fixed monthly payments over a set period (12–36 months). At the end of the term, the car transfers to your name — no balloon, no residual. You own it outright.
How is it different from renting?
Renting has no ownership component — you pay to use the car and return it. Lease-to-own means every payment goes toward ownership. At the end of your contract, the vehicle is yours.
Do I need a bank or a credit check?
No. Drive Your Dream does not check the Etihad Credit Bureau (ECB) and does not require bank approval. We use our own underwriting based on your income and residency status.
What documents do I need?
Valid Emirates ID, a valid UAE residence visa, a valid UAE driving license, and proof of income (salary certificate, bank statements, or trade license for self-employed).
How fast is the approval?
Most applications are processed within 24 hours. No bank credit committee, no waiting — once approved, vehicle handover typically happens within 1–3 business days.
Is insurance included?
Yes. Comprehensive insurance, vehicle registration, GPS tracking, and roadside assistance are all included in your monthly payment. No separate insurance policy to manage.
Can I pay off early?
Yes — at any time with zero penalty. Settle the remaining balance, and the car transfers to your name immediately.
What happens if I miss a payment?
7-day grace period. After that, the vehicle is immobilized via GPS until the balance is cleared. We will always contact you first to find a solution.
What cars are available for lease-to-own?
Our full fleet of 160+ vehicles from 20+ brands. Economy sedans to luxury SUVs, from Nissan to Lamborghini. You can also Bring Your Own Car from any source in the UAE.
What is the Balloon Payment option?
An alternative structure with zero down payment and lower monthly payments. A deferred lump sum (~35% of the vehicle value) is due at the end of the term. At that point, you can buy, return, or start a new lease.
