Accidents can happen, even to the most experienced drivers. When you’re behind the wheel of a rental car in Dubai, it’s important to know exactly what to do in case of an accident. At KOR Rent a Car LLC, we prioritize your safety and peace of mind. This step-by-step guide will help you handle the situation with calm and confidence-whether it’s a minor bump or a serious collision.
✅ Step 1: Keep a Cool Head
In the heat of the moment, staying calm is essential. Move the rental car to a safe place if possible and switch on your hazard lights. If the vehicle can’t be moved, stay inside with your seatbelt on and call for help.
Remaining calm will allow you to think clearly, communicate effectively, and ensure the safety of everyone involved.
✅ Step 2: Check for Injuries
Once you’re in a safe spot, check that everyone involved is okay. Call emergency services immediately if anyone is injured. In Dubai, dial 999 for police or ambulance services.
Avoid moving anyone with suspected serious injuries unless absolutely necessary. It’s also wise to keep local emergency numbers saved in your phone before traveling.
✅ Step 3: Exchange Information and Document Everything
Gather and exchange the following details with the other party:
- Full name
- Contact information
- Insurance details
- Vehicle registration number
Also, collect contact info of any eyewitnesses. Take clear photos of all vehicles, damage, the scene, and weather conditions. If you’ve hit a parked car, leave a note with your contact details.
All this information will be useful when filing an incident report or insurance claim.
