nol Travel cardholders can now get up to 40% off Europcar car rentals under a new partnership announced by Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). The offer started on 1 September 2026 and will run for one year.
According to Dubai RTA, the benefit gives eligible cardholders discounted access to car rental services in the UAE and various international destinations where Europcar operates. The partnership expands the benefits linked to the nol Travel card beyond public transport and gives residents and travellers another mobility option.
What is the new nol Travel card Europcar offer?
Dubai RTA has launched an exclusive offer allowing nol Travel cardholders to receive up to 40% off Europcar car rental services.
The offer officially took effect on 1 September 2026 and will remain available for a full year, according to RTA.
The partnership is designed to give nol Travel cardholders more flexibility when choosing how they travel. RTA said the offer can be used within the UAE and across various global destinations where Europcar operates.
However, Dubai RTA has not stated that the discount will automatically apply in all 140 countries where Europcar has a presence. Cardholders should therefore check the applicable terms, rental location and availability before making a booking.
When does the Europcar discount start and how long will it last?
The Europcar discount for nol Travel cardholders started on 1 September 2026.
According to Dubai RTA, the offer will remain valid for one full year from its launch date.
This gives eligible cardholders an extended period to use the benefit for holidays, business trips or other travel plans requiring a rental vehicle.
The specific discount can be worth up to 40%, which means the final saving may depend on the rental service, location, booking period and other applicable conditions.
RTA has not disclosed all booking terms in its announcement, so travellers should review the relevant offer conditions before confirming a rental.
Where can nol Travel cardholders use the Europcar offer?
The offer applies to Europcar car rental services within the UAE and at various international destinations where Europcar operates, according to Dubai RTA.
Europcar has a global network spanning around 140 countries, according to the RTA announcement. However, this does not necessarily mean the nol Travel discount is available at every Europcar location worldwide.
This distinction is important for UAE residents planning international trips.
A cardholder travelling to another country should check whether the destination is included in the offer before relying on the discount. Rental requirements, insurance policies, driving licence rules and deposits may also vary between countries.
For UAE residents travelling abroad, the partnership could provide another way to reduce local transport costs, particularly in destinations where hiring a car is more convenient than using taxis or public transport.
What else can the nol Travel card be used for?
The nol Travel card is designed to offer mobility and lifestyle benefits beyond regular public transport payments.
According to Dubai RTA, cardholders can use the card for fare payments across RTA public transport services, including the Dubai Metro, Dubai Bus and Dubai Tram. The card can also be used for supported public parking and taxi-related payments.
RTA says nol Travel cardholders can also access exclusive offers and discounts across more than 100 participating entities and brands.
These benefits cover several sectors, including:
- Hotels
- Restaurants
- Retail outlets
- Entertainment destinations
- Tourist attractions
- Adventure experiences
The card can also be linked to the nol Plus loyalty programme, allowing eligible users to earn points and access additional benefits, according to RTA.
The Europcar partnership adds another travel-focused benefit to the nol Travel card ecosystem.
Why is Dubai expanding nol benefits beyond public transport?
Dubai RTA has been working towards a more integrated mobility system that connects different forms of transport and customer services.
According to RTA, the Europcar partnership supports Dubai’s vision for an integrated, flexible and sustainable mobility ecosystem.
The new offer shows how the nol Travel card is being positioned as more than a way to pay for Metro or bus journeys.
A resident may use public transport for daily travel in Dubai but require a rental car for a weekend trip or while travelling overseas. Adding rental discounts creates a wider range of mobility benefits within one customer programme.
For Dubai, partnerships with private-sector companies can also expand customer benefits without requiring RTA to operate every service directly.
RTA described the Europcar agreement as an example of turning private-sector partnerships into direct and practical benefits for customers.
The new Europcar offer gives nol Travel cardholders a potential saving on car rentals for the next year.
Here is why UAE residents should pay attention:
- Frequent travellers may be able to reduce car rental costs during trips.
- Dubai residents gain another benefit linked to their existing nol Travel card.
- International travellers could potentially use the offer at participating Europcar destinations outside the UAE.
- Mobility users now have another travel option alongside public transport, taxis and private vehicles.
The biggest practical point is that the offer is time-limited. It started on 1 September 2026 and is valid for one year.
Cardholders planning to rent a vehicle should check the applicable booking terms and participating locations before making travel arrangements.
