Lease to own a car in Dubai if you are self-employed

If you work for yourself on a trade licence, a bank car loan is hard to get without a salary certificate. With Gleeven there is no bank and no salary certificate. You need an Emirates ID and a UAE driving licence, you pay 10 percent of the price when you sign, and the rest in 12 or 24 monthly payments.

Why banks turn down self-employed people

Bank car loans are built around a fixed salary: a salary certificate, a salary transfer and a few months of payslips. When you run your own business your income is real, but it comes from clients, not from an employer. The file does not fit the form, so the answer is often no.

What you need with Gleeven

No salary certificate, no bank statements, no bank approval. We tell you the full list for your car before you sign. Every deal is agreed one by one, so we cannot promise a yes before we talk.

Plan the payment for a slow month

When your income goes up and down, pick a monthly payment you can make in a slow month, not in a good one. You can pay off what is left at any time and get 10 percent off that amount, so a strong month can end the plan early.

Over 12 months you pay exactly the car price, with no interest. Insurance is included. Fuel, Salik, fines and service are on you, like with your own car.

How it works

  1. Pick a car on this site and message us on WhatsApp. We send more photos and the mileage.
  2. See the car in Dubai and test drive it. Visits are every day from 10 am to 12 midnight.
  3. Read the contract. The price, every payment and its date are written in it, in English and Arabic.
  4. Sign and pay 10 percent of the price. You take the car the same day.
  5. Pay the 12 or 24 monthly payments.
  6. After the last payment the car goes to your name at RTA, within 15 days.
