Zero down payment car offers in the UAE: how to read them

Zero down offers from banks and dealers usually need a salary certificate, a salary transfer and a credit history the bank likes. If you have all three, compare them. If not, a small down payment without a bank can be the way in: at Gleeven, 10 percent from AED 7,600, then 12 or 24 monthly payments.

Who zero down offers are for

Most zero down car offers in the UAE are bank loans or dealer plans paid by a bank. They are made for people with a salary from a known employer, paid into a UAE bank. The bank lends the full price, so you pay interest on all of it.

Seven questions for any offer

  1. What do I pay in total, from the first payment to the last?
  2. What is the interest, and is it a flat rate or a reducing rate?
  3. How many months is the plan?
  4. Is there a payment at the end?
  5. Is insurance included, or do I buy it every year?
  6. What papers do I need: salary certificate, salary transfer, bank statements?
  7. What happens if I pay off early, or if I am late?

The same car, with and without a down payment

For the Audi A4 S line 2022, Gleeven asks AED 11,400 at the start and 24 payments of AED 4,275. With nothing at the start and the same 24 months, each payment would be about AED 4,750. A lender that adds interest would ask for more than that.

If the bank says no

Gleeven has no bank in the plan. To buy you need an Emirates ID and a UAE driving licence, and we tell you the full list for your car before you sign. No. We do not ask for a salary certificate, a salary transfer, bank statements or a bank approval. Every deal is agreed one by one, so we cannot promise a yes before we talk.

Because a bank pays the full price and wants to see a fixed salary before it lends.
Is the 10 percent a deposit? +
No. It is part of the car price. The 10 percent and the monthly payments add up to the price in your contract.
