Renting a car for the long term just got a lot lighter on your wallet. We're excited to announce that eZhire now supports Tamara — which means you can book a car for 3, 6, 9, or 12 months and split your payments into easy, interest-free installments instead of paying everything upfront.
Why we did this
Monthly car rentals are the smartest way to drive in the UAE — no down payment, no bank loan, no insurance paperwork, no resale headache. But we kept hearing the same thing from customers: "I love the monthly plans, but paying the full amount at booking is heavy."
We agree. Your car shouldn't compete with your rent, school fees, or savings goals. With Tamara, it doesn't have to.
What is Tamara?
Tamara is one of the region's leading buy-now-pay-later services, trusted by millions of shoppers across the GCC. Instead of paying the full amount at once, Tamara splits your payment into smaller scheduled installments — with zero interest and no hidden fees when you pay on time.
How it works
Booking with Tamara takes less than a minute:
- Choose your car and rental plan in the eZhire app — 3, 6, 9, or 12 months, whatever suits your life.
- Select "Pay with Tamara" at checkout on the Review Your Order screen.
- Get instant approval — Tamara runs a quick check inside the app. No paperwork, no bank visits.
- Drive now, pay over time — your car is delivered to your doorstep as always, and your payments are automatically split into interest-free installments charged to your card on schedule.
You'll see your full installment plan — amounts and dates — clearly before you confirm, so there are never any surprises.
What this means for you
Keep your cash flow free. Instead of locking a large amount into a rental payment, you spread it out and keep money available for the things that matter.
Drive a better car than you planned. When payments are split, upgrading from an economy car to that SUV or sedan you actually want becomes much more affordable month to month.
Skip the car loan entirely. A 12-month eZhire booking paid through Tamara gets you all the benefits of having "your own car" — insurance, maintenance, and registration included — without a multi-year bank commitment, down payment, or depreciation risk.
No interest, ever. Tamara's installments are interest-free when paid on time. The price you see at checkout is the price you pay — just divided into friendlier pieces.
Which plans are eligible?
Tamara is available on all eZhire monthly subscription bookings:
- 3 months — perfect for a project assignment or trying the monthly lifestyle
- 6 months — ideal for new arrivals settling into the UAE
- 9 months — great for the school year or a long work contract
- 12 months — the full ownership experience, without the ownership
Approval and installment terms are determined by Tamara at checkout and may vary by customer and order value.
FAQ's
Do I pay anything extra to use Tamara?
No. Tamara installments are interest-free with no hidden charges when payments are made on time. Late payments may incur fees from Tamara, so we recommend keeping your linked card active.
When is my first installment charged?
Your installment schedule is shown clearly at checkout before you confirm — you'll know exactly what's charged and when, right from day one.
Can I still use my credit card or Apple Pay?
Of course. Tamara is an additional option, not a replacement. Choose whichever payment method works best for you at checkout.
Is my booking confirmed instantly?
Yes. Once Tamara approves your payment plan, your booking is confirmed immediately and your car is on its way to you.
