The link that u provided for Expat Guide is very helpful. Just concerned how old the PDF file is, since The On Arrival for Dubai was close to 200 bucks the last time I went couple of months back.. Otherwise all look good.

Thanks again

You need Sauid Transit via, and if you are not one of the nationality/profession to be granted visa on arrival then you need UAE visa too.

This is what you need for visa. You have to have the right papers for the car. Also check below a guide for expats driving to Dubai..:)
