Reviews describe the booking process as smooth and the vehicles as clean and well-maintained.
You can book a car for very short trips; one customer used a rental lasting just 20 minutes.
Some customers report instant WhatsApp replies, making trip issues easier to handle remotely.
For a Ras Al Khaimah trip, support manually ended the ride and helped arrange the second day.
One review found the sign-up process smoother than other pay-per-minute rental companies.
Check zones. Recheck the permitted parking map immediately before booking; one customer found their neighbourhood removed from the zone within a week.
Confirm fees. Before unlocking, ask about the AED 6 trip charge and any minimum wallet hold so a AED 100 top-up does not leave you short.
Fuel Dubai. If driving outside Dubai, leave with a full tank because petrol is not included beyond Dubai; unused petrol may return to the app wallet.
Check package. Verify that the app has applied your selected package rather than charging per minute, as one customer reported paying double after a glitch.
Review invoice. Check the final bill carefully before closing the matter; a customer reported unexplained extra fees after returning the car.
Learn controls. Look up the car controls before starting, especially the electronic handbrake, since one JAC driver spent AED 25 figuring it out.

A customer used a two-day summer package that included a full day of Dubai driving with Salik, petrol and parking.
These costs were included in the reported Dubai summer package, making the package easier to budget.
Yaldeets are described as wallet or referral bonuses, though one customer said they could not be used to rent a car.
Several customers report sharp price increases and a new AED 6 trip charge without clear notification.
Customers describe unexpected top-up requirements, including an additional AED 200 hold after adding AED 100.
Car availability can be limited, and one customer was told to collect a car 30 kilometres away.
A customer discovered their neighbourhood had left the parking zone only when called and threatened with a fine.
The app has been blamed for package-selection glitches, unclear charges and difficult end-of-trip photo requirements.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

“99 per minute-PLUS a fixed AED 6 per trip! The worst part? They NEVER informed users”Google review · June 2026

“What's happening to this car rental company? The rental price used to be only 127 dirhams, now it's 157, and they don't even provide a car”Google review · June 2026
The Bottom Line
Yaldi is a self-service car-rental app serving flexible trips, from 20-minute bookings to multi-day rentals. The draw is convenience: reviews describe smooth online booking, clean and well-maintained vehicles, and no need to return a car to one specific location. A two-day summer package also included Dubai Salik, petrol and parking, while support manually handled a trip that reached Ras Al Khaimah.
The experience is uneven. Helpful, fast support and instant WhatsApp replies appear in several reviews, but other customers report unreachable or uncooperative service. Car supply is limited in some areas, and one customer was asked to collect a vehicle 30 kilometres away.
Check availability before relying on Yaldi for an immediate journey. Pricing and wallet rules deserve close attention. 99 per minute, plus a fixed AED 6 trip charge, as well as additional AED 200 wallet requirements after a AED 100 top-up.
Package selection, refunds and unexplained final charges are recurring concerns. Recheck the parking zone, confirm the full cost before unlocking, photograph the car safely, and check the closing invoice. For trips outside Dubai, leave with a full tank because petrol is not included there.
