What to know before choosing
National’s AUH page names Sanam Rent A Car LLC and the same branch contact as Enterprise. Compare the actual National rate and inclusions; the two brand listings do not establish two independent local operators.
Its policy sets an AED 3,000 deposit plus estimated rental charges, with debit accepted for the final balance only. It permits one-way rentals within the UAE subject to possible charges, but prohibits crossing the UAE border and taking 4x4s off road.

Planning questions
Can I take a National AUH rental to Oman?
The AUH location policy prohibits crossing the UAE border, so this rental should not be booked for an Oman trip.
