These terms of use are the ground rules for using DriveCarCost.com and its calculators — read them once and you’ll know exactly where you stand.
Terms of Use
Last updated: 12 September 2026.
By using DriveCarCost.com, you agree to these terms.
Estimates, not guarantees
All calculators on this site produce estimates based on the inputs you provide and publicly available fuel prices, toll rates and tariffs. Actual costs will vary with traffic, route, driving style, vehicle condition and real-world consumption. See our full Disclaimer.
No professional advice
Nothing on this site is financial, legal or automotive-safety advice. For decisions with real financial consequences, verify figures independently and consult a qualified professional where appropriate.
Acceptable use
You may not attempt to disrupt the site, scrape it at high volume, or use it to build a competing product without permission. You may link to any page freely.
Intellectual property
Site design, original written content and our compiled datasets are owned by DriveCarCost.com. Published fuel prices and toll rates are public information and are cited to their original source.
Limitation of liability
DriveCarCost.com is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for decisions made based on calculator results or site content.
Changes
We may update these terms as the site grows; the date above reflects the latest revision.

What these terms of use actually cover
These terms of use exist to set honest expectations, not to bury you in legal language. In short: every calculator on DriveCarCost.com is an estimation tool built from published fuel prices, toll rates and standard cost assumptions — useful for budgeting and comparison, but not a substitute for an official quote from your insurer, dealer, or the RTA. These terms of use make that limitation explicit so nobody mistakes a calculator estimate for a guaranteed figure.
We also expect fair use of the site: scraping content wholesale for republication elsewhere, or attempting to disrupt the calculators for other visitors, falls outside these terms of use. For the federal legal framework these terms of use sit within, see the UAE Government’s own portal at u.ae.
Changes to these terms of use
We update these terms of use only when something material changes about how the site or its calculators work, and the “last updated” date at the top always reflects the current version. If you have questions about anything here, get in touch.
Liability under these terms of use
Because these terms of use make clear that every calculator produces an estimate, DriveCarCost.com isn’t liable for financial decisions made solely on a calculator result — always confirm anything material (a lease, a car purchase, a long commute) against official figures first. These terms of use don’t limit your statutory rights under UAE consumer law; they simply set expectations for a free tool.
Continuing to use the site after these terms of use are updated counts as accepting the new version, which is why the “last updated” date at the top always reflects the current text — there’s no separate re-acceptance step required for a free, no-account tool like this one.
Terms of Use FAQ
Are DriveCarCost.com’s calculator results legally binding?
No — every result is an estimate for planning purposes only, as these terms of use explain. See our calculator methodology and the latest UAE fuel price update for how the underlying numbers are sourced.
Can I link to a calculator from my own site?
Yes, linking to any page is always permitted under these terms of use.
