Interestingly this is how Saudi Arabia legalizes and justifies slavery. They will hold the passports of workers on often remote saudi compounds.

A Dubai legal expert told the newspaper that tourists aren’t often prevented from going home in these cases, and that the rental agency will likely have to file a civil suit to recover the costs for the fines, which would be carried out in the U.K.
Unfortunately he's probably just going to get a new passport and then walk. A civil suit after that would be unlikely to result in a positive number for anyone.
I've dealt first hand with wealthy Saudis temporarily in North America. A couple nice guys, but mostly a bunch of shitheads who believe they are the master race and above our law.

The $250,000 car (guessing) is sitting at the curb, "collecting dust." The rental company doesn't want to collect the car due to $45,000 in fines BUT! has the renter's passport awaiting him to pay the fines so he can leave the country. Interesting situation.
