you can obtain a temporary UAE licence until your visas come through.

Very easy, just go to traffic dept with UK licence and passport, pay a few dirhams and obtain temp licence valid for six months.

If you have a UK license, you should be fine using that with a rental car until you get your residency visa, then exchange it for a full UAE license. But it doesn't hurt to get an International Driving Permit also. More here... Dubai driving licence
