Licence to tow in the UAE
Towing needs a licence category that matches the vehicle and the load, and heavy combinations need a heavier category. A Category 8 heavy truck licence course in Abu Dhabi has been quoted at AED 8,432 in total, including AED 322 service fees and AED 8,110 government fees, and it requires a valid UAE Category 3 licence first. Ask the hire company what the trailer weighs and which licence your vehicle needs before you book.
Heat, tyres and season
Summer from May to September is very hot, and tyres, tow bars and the trailer deck take the strain in the sun. Ask the seller for the tyre condition and how the tow bar is fitted, and ask how the trailer is stored in the heat. The mild months from November to March are the easier time for long hauls and outdoor loading.
Size, units and delivery
A flatbed listing gives its length as 12,850 mm and its width as 2,600 mm, so ask sellers for dimensions in metres and check the width against your load. Listings also quote capacity in tonnes. Delivery is possible between Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Al Ain, but quotes vary with the distance, so give your city in the request.
What to write in the request
Say the trailer type, the size, the material you will haul, the lease term, whether you need a tow bar, and your city. If you want to rent, give the monthly rent you can pay. Say whether you can offer the collateral the owner asks for, since some rentals require a deposit before the trailer is handed over.
Describe the trailer, the term and your city in your own words in a BlaBlaPrice chat, and add a photo if it helps. Free for buyers. The AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in the UAE, and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their price and terms, and your contact details stay hidden until you decide to share them.
