Car Rental in Qatar

Research any local driving restrictions, such as tolls, road types, and restricted zones, to avoid fines.

If you are travelling to Qatar and considering hiring a car, choosing an in-terminal car rental supplier can save you time and hassle. Find suppliers with locations right at the airport, allowing you to avoid shuttle buses or meet-and-greet services and ensuring a quicker and more convenient pickup.

When renting a car, especially after travelling by train, allocate extra time for pickup to account for possible delays. Most car rental companies offer a 30-60 minute grace period. Sharing your train number can be helpful, but if you're running late, be sure to contact the car rental provider to let them know.

Always keep your rental agreement, identification, and insurance information easily accessible during your rental period. This can help resolve any issues quickly.

Many car rental deals in Qatar require a credit card for the deposit. If you only have a debit card, use our website's filter to find options that accommodate it or consider getting a credit card. Make sure the main driver’s card is used to prevent any extra charges.

Decide whether to rent a GPS or use your smartphone for navigation; consider data costs if using mobile.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

When renting a car from Qatar, choose a car rental deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Europcar, Sixt, AVIS,Budget, These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.
