Introduction About Karama
Karama doesn't need much of an introduction. If you've lived in Dubai for more than a week, you've probably been there ā for the shawarma, the tailors, the shopping streets. It's one of the city's most liveable neighbourhoods: central, affordable, and genuinely busy in a way that most of Dubai isn't.
The metro helps for getting in and out. But once you need to reach the airport before sunrise, take the family to Mirdif on a Friday, or get to Abu Dhabi without the bus-and-wait routine, you need a car. Quick Drive delivers to your building ā no branch visit, no waiting around. Daily rentals start at AED 60. Monthly plans start at AED 1,170, which works out at AED 39 a day.

If you're driving to Downtown or Sheikh Zayed Road, you can bypass both by using Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Road. All our cars have active Salik tags fitted; charges are tallied and deducted from your deposit at the end of the rental.
Parking
Al Karama sits in an RTA standard paid zone at AED 2 per hour, 08:00 to 22:00 on weekdays. Saturday is free. Street parking near Al Diyafah and the shopping area fills up quickly in evenings, but most residential buildings have allocated bays for residents. BurJuman, Lamcy Plaza and Wafi Mall all offer free shopper parking nearby.
