You can get Dhs400 off your Careem car rental this summer
If you've been thinking about swapping taxis for your own set of wheels – at least for the summer – Careem's latest offer might be just what you need.
The homegrown super app has launched a limited-time car rental deal, giving drivers across Abu Dhabi Dhs400 off on two-month bookings.
Running from June 15 to July 15, the promotion is ideal for those seeking to cruise through the warmer months with a little more independence (and air conditioning).
Whether you're running errands, heading to the office, or escaping to cooler climes on the East Coast, you can now do it without the hassle of car ownership.
The deal is available through Careem's car rental partner, Swapp and includes a wide range of vehicles like Mazda 6, Hyundai Creta and Volvo S90, with prices starting from Dhs2,340 before discount. Just use the code 'SUMMER400AUH' and the savings are yours.
Careem's car rental service is designed for ease so there's no deposit required and same-day delivery means your chosen ride could be parked at your doorstep just hours after booking. Everything happens via the Careem app too, so there's no paperwork, no long queues and no waiting around.
Bookings range from short to long-term, but the average rental duration sits at three months, with some customers keeping their cars for over a year.
While the Nissan Sunny and Mitsubishi Attrage remain everyday favourites, premium options like the Mercedes G63, Lamborghini Huracan and Ferrari F8 are also part of the fleet, for those looking to level up their summer drives.
Bassel Alnahlaoui, chief business officer at Careem, said: 'Our car rental service is built for maximum flexibility and convenience, whether you need a ride for a few days or several months. So many expats in the UAE are looking for easy and cost-effective ways to get around. Careem Car Rental offers a simple way to rent a car in minutes, without the upfront costs or commitment of ownership. And for those booking longer rentals, it's a great way to enjoy added savings during the summer months.'

MAJRA National CSR Fund Signs MoU with Careem to Expand Summer Support for Delivery Captains
In a move to safeguard delivery captains during the UAE's scorching summer months, the MAJRA National CSR Fund has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Careem to boost its annual summer support initiatives across four emirates. The agreement, formalized in the presence of Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and Chairman of MAJRA's Board of Trustees, aims to enhance conditions for more than 60,000 delivery riders in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Ras Al Khaimah. This year's campaign will see a significant expansion in services, including mobile, air-conditioned rest stations and sustainable, solar-powered cooling hubs. These stops will provide free Wi-Fi, drinking water, and refreshments at high-traffic delivery zones. Careem CEO and co-founder Mudassir Sheikha emphasized the importance of the initiative, calling it 'tangible, on-the-ground support' designed to help captains work more safely and comfortably in extreme heat. In addition to rest areas, Careem is distributing 'Captain Kits' containing towels, water bottles, and hydration supplements. Through a partnership with the Pakistan Association Dubai, delivery captains will also receive free health screenings throughout the summer. MAJRA CEO Sarah Shaw said the initiative aligns with the UAE's 'Year of Community,' reinforcing MAJRA's commitment to supporting on-the-ground projects that promote welfare and resilience among frontline workers.

Dubai-based Careem suspends ride-hailing operations in Pakistan
Careem, Uber's ride-hailing arm in the Middle East, will suspend its Pakistan service on July 18, citing economic challenges, rising competition, and capital constraints, ending its core business in a country where it helped pioneer app-based transport nearly a decade ago. The move underscores strain on Pakistan's digital economy, as tech firms scale back amid high inflation, weak consumer demand, and tighter global capital flows. It ends a nearly decade-long run for Careem, which launched in 2015 and became a dominant player in app-based mobility. "This was an incredibly difficult decision," Mudassir Sheikha, co-founder and CEO of Careem, said in a LinkedIn post on Wednesday. "The challenging macroeconomic reality, intensifying competition, and global capital allocation made it hard to justify the investment levels required to deliver a safe and dependable service in the country." Careem helped normalise digital payments, app-based bookings, and female ridership in Pakistan. Newer entrants such as Russia-backed Yango and Latin America's inDrive have expanded in major cities, offering low-cost models. The decision follows Uber's exit from Pakistan in 2022. Pakistan's startup ecosystem has come under pressure since 2022 as venture funding dried up, inflation surged to a record 38% before falling to 3.5%, and consumption weakened. Startups including Airlift, Swvl, VavaCars and Truck It In have shut down or scaled back. Globally, firms like Uber, Lyft and Grab have exited unprofitable markets, narrowed focus, or expanded into adjacent services such as deliveries and payments. Rising costs, regulation, and thin margins in emerging markets have added to the strain. Uber still operates in parts of the Middle East and North Africa but has pulled back from Pakistan in 2024 after announcing an initial exit in 2022.
