Car Hire in Saudi Arabia

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

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

Before driving away from Saudi Arabia , thoroughly inspect the car for any damage. Document any existing damage with photos or video to avoid disputes later on.

Make sure you know which type of fuel your rental car uses to avoid costly mistakes at the pump.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

In Saudi Arabia, car hire options are billed on a daily basis. Renting for over 24 hours will incur a charge for an additional day, so be sure to plan your hire duration to avoid extra costs.

If sharing driving responsibilities, check the policies regarding additional drivers. Some companies charge fees for each extra driver, while others may include it for free under certain conditions.
