IS FUEL FREE?
Fuel is free for all pay-per-minute vehicles in Dubai. All vehicles have VIP Chips.
You can refuel the pay-per-minute cars in Dubai at ENOC and EPPCO gas stations.
For long-term bookings in Dubai & Abu Dhabi, users will have to cover the cost of fuel as it's not free.
WHAT FUEL DOES EKAR USE?
We use 'special' fuel at EPPCO and ENOC stations.
HOW MUCH FUEL SHOULD I LEAVE IN THE EKAR WHEN I END MY TRIP?
Upon ending your trip for pay-per-minute vehicles, ensure that at least 1/4 of fuel is in the fuel tank for the convenience of the next user. Customers will receive a standard credit for refueling the vehicles which are below 1/4 fuel level only. Not maintaining a sufficient fuel level is subject to an additional fee of AED 100.
For long-term vehicles, please take images of the odometer and fuel gauge at the start and end of the trip. Make sure to end the trip with the same fuel level to avoid the penalty of actual fuel deficit plus the AED 100 ekar admin fee.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY EKAR VIP TAG DOES NOT WORK?
In any case, if your ekar VIP tag does not work, ekar will reimburse you for refueling by adding driving credits to your e-wallet. You will have to submit a copy of your bill to help@ekar.me to claim the reimbursement.
WHAT SHOULD BE THE DRIVING RANGE IN TESLA VEHICLES AT THE END OF THE TRIP?
Tesla cars should be left within a minimum driving range of 50 km to the nearest charging station to avoid the non-charging penalty of AED 200.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY EKAR VIP TAG IS MISSING?
Be sure to check the fuel tank door and cap for the VIP tag or smart chip. If it is not in the fuel tank cap or the car, report the missing VIP tag immediately to 600 567564 or email us at help@ekar.me.
