How does maintenance work with corporate leased cars? Do we take them to specific garages or does the rental company handle everything?

[Konstantin Volkov]

Maintenance is usually handled by the rental company - it's one of the main benefits of leasing vs owning. With Octane Rent, we just notify them when service is due or if something needs repair, they schedule it and provide replacement car during service. All covered in the monthly fee. Some contracts require using specific garages, others let the rental company choose. You shouldn't be dealing with mechanics directly. The process described in https://www.reddit.com/r/DubaiCentral/comments/1pxisd6/corporate_ca... varies by company but good ones make it hassle-free. What to verify in contract: response time for maintenance requests, whether replacement car is provided during service, what constitutes normal wear vs damage you pay for. Keep records of all maintenance requests and completed work in case disputes arise later.
