UAE Nol Travel Card Offers Up to 40% Off Europcar Rentals From September 1

UAE Nol Travel Card holders can now access discounts of up to 40 per cent on car rental services under a new partnership between Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and Europcar.

The offer begins on September 1, 2026, and will remain available for one year. It is designed to give Nol Travel Card users greater flexibility when arranging vehicle rentals, both within the UAE and at participating Europcar locations internationally.

The latest benefit expands the role of the Nol Travel Card beyond conventional public transport services, giving residents additional mobility options when they need a private vehicle.

RTA and Europcar partnership expands mobility benefits

The partnership between RTA and Europcar is aimed at providing practical benefits to Nol Travel Card users while strengthening the card’s wider mobility offering.

Under the agreement, eligible cardholders can receive discounts of up to 40 per cent on car rental services. The benefit applies to rentals in the UAE as well as various Europcar locations worldwide, giving travellers another option when they require a vehicle during domestic trips or overseas travel.

The partnership reflects RTA’s broader approach of using strategic collaborations to provide direct benefits to the public.

According to RTA, the initiative represents a practical model for translating partnerships into useful advantages for Nol Travel Card users. It also supports the authority’s efforts to make the Nol Travel experience more comprehensive by connecting public transport with other forms of mobility.

For residents who regularly travel within the UAE or abroad, the car rental discount could provide additional flexibility, particularly when public transport is not the most convenient option for a particular journey.

What is the Nol Travel Card?

The Nol Travel Card was launched in 2024 as a product designed to provide users with access to a wider range of mobility services and benefits across Dubai.

The card can be used to pay fares on several RTA public transport services, including the Dubai Metro, RTA buses and Dubai Tram. It can also be used for public parking payments and taxi fares.

Beyond transportation, the card provides access to a broad collection of offers and discounts from more than 100 entities and brands across different sectors.

These benefits cover areas such as hospitality, dining, retail, entertainment, tourism and leisure.

Cardholders can therefore use the Nol Travel Card not only as a means of accessing Dubai’s public transport network but also as a gateway to additional offers and experiences across the city.

The new Europcar partnership adds another layer to these benefits by extending the card’s usefulness to car rental services.

Up to 40 per cent discount on car rentals

The headline benefit of the new partnership is a discount of up to 40 per cent on car rental services.

The offer is scheduled to start on September 1, 2026, and will continue for one year.

The partnership gives Nol Travel Card holders the opportunity to access discounted rentals through Europcar, including participating locations within the UAE and various locations outside the country.

For UAE residents, the benefit could be particularly useful during holidays, business trips and other journeys where renting a car provides greater convenience than relying solely on public transport or taxis.

The international element also broadens the potential value of the offer. Residents travelling overseas can potentially use the partnership when renting from participating Europcar locations, subject to the applicable terms and conditions.

Nol Travel Card offers more than public transport

The Nol Travel Card has increasingly been positioned as a broader lifestyle and mobility product rather than simply a public transport payment card.

Its core function remains convenient payment across Dubai’s public transportation network. Users can access the Dubai Metro, buses and tram services through the card, while also using it for public parking and taxi fares.

However, the card also provides access to offers from more than 100 participating entities and brands.

These offers span several categories, including hotels, restaurants, retail outlets, entertainment venues, tourist attractions and adventure experiences.

The addition of Europcar further expands this ecosystem into vehicle rental services.

For users, this means the card can provide benefits at different stages of a journey — from travelling on public transport in Dubai to accessing hospitality, entertainment and retail offers, and now potentially securing discounted car rentals.

Nol Plus adds another layer of benefits

The Nol Travel Card can also be linked to the Nol Plus programme.

Through Nol Plus, users can earn points and access additional advantages associated with their card usage.

This adds a rewards component to the broader Nol ecosystem and gives regular users another way to receive value from their participation.

Combined with the existing discounts and the new Europcar partnership, the card is being positioned as a more comprehensive mobility and lifestyle offering.

For residents who frequently use RTA services, the combination of transport functionality, rewards and partner offers may make the card more useful beyond individual journeys.

How much does the Nol Travel Card cost?

Residents who want to purchase the Nol Travel Card can do so for Dh100.

The purchase includes a specially designed silver Nol Card with Dh19 balance.

In addition to the balance, buyers receive access to a range of offers and discounts with a stated value of more than Dh17,000.

These offers can be redeemed by presenting the travel card at participating vendors.

Users can also show the QR code associated with their account through the Nol Pay app when accessing eligible offers.

This gives cardholders a digital option for accessing some of the benefits connected to their Nol Travel Card.

Greater flexibility for UAE residents

The latest partnership comes as Dubai continues to expand integrated mobility options for residents and visitors.

Public transportation remains an important part of Dubai’s mobility network, but there are situations where a private vehicle can provide greater convenience. Car rental services can be particularly useful for longer journeys, family trips, business travel and travel to destinations where public transport coverage may be limited.

By connecting Nol Travel Card users with Europcar’s rental network, RTA is adding another mobility option to its existing ecosystem.

The international availability of the offer also means that the partnership is not limited to travel within Dubai or the UAE.

For UAE residents travelling abroad, access to a rental discount at participating Europcar locations can provide an additional benefit associated with their Nol Travel Card.

A broader Nol Travel experience

RTA said the partnership reinforces its commitment to developing an integrated range of benefits associated with the Nol Travel Card.

The focus is on providing users with greater flexibility, convenience, reach and value.

Rather than limiting the card’s benefits to public transportation, RTA has expanded the programme through partnerships covering multiple sectors.

Hotels, restaurants, retailers, entertainment destinations, tourist attractions and adventure experiences are among the areas where cardholders can find offers.

The Europcar agreement adds car rentals to this growing list.

This broader approach gives the Nol Travel Card a role in different aspects of daily life and travel, potentially making it more valuable for residents who regularly use the card and its associated benefits.

What cardholders should know

The Europcar discount becomes available from September 1, 2026, and is scheduled to remain in place for one year.

The maximum discount is 40 per cent, meaning the exact saving available to a customer may depend on the rental, location and applicable offer terms.

Cardholders should check the conditions associated with the Europcar promotion before making a booking, particularly when renting outside the UAE.

The international element of the partnership covers various Europcar locations worldwide rather than necessarily every location in the company’s network.

For users purchasing a Nol Travel Card specifically for the available offers, the card provides a combination of transport-related functionality and partner benefits.

What this means for Nol Travel Card users

The new Europcar partnership represents a significant expansion of the practical uses associated with the Nol Travel Card.

Users already rely on the card for Dubai Metro, buses, tram services, public parking and taxi payments. The addition of discounted car rentals gives them another option when they need access to a private vehicle.

The offer could be particularly relevant to residents who alternate between public transportation and private mobility depending on their travel requirements.

A commuter, for example, may use Dubai Metro or RTA buses for everyday travel but choose a rental car for a weekend trip. Similarly, a resident travelling overseas could potentially use the same Nol Travel Card benefit when renting a vehicle at a participating Europcar location.

With the offer running for a full year from September 1, 2026, cardholders will have an extended period in which to take advantage of the partnership.

Overall, the RTA-Europcar agreement strengthens the Nol Travel Card’s position as a broader mobility and lifestyle platform. By combining public transport access, rewards, partner discounts and now car rental benefits, RTA is seeking to provide cardholders with more practical value both inside the UAE and during international travel.
