Same for me. Not the clearest exit off, but it was pretty straightforward.
Car rental in the UAE (from Avis at the airport) was one of my better experiences internationally. The car was to a good standard, received an upgrade and no hard sell on insurance products.
The only two issues I encountered were:
1. Traffic is heavy in Dubai in the evening, but still better than London or New York.
2. The Al Maha entry road can be a bit of an obstacle course at night with the wildlife. Once when returning just before the security gate 3 camels were partially blocking the road. There is also no lighting given it's a nature reserve.
Despite this, if I was returning to Al Maha, I would not hesitate to use car rental again.
