Car Hire in Kuwait

Before finalising your car hire in Kuwait, make sure to confirm the drop-off location with your provider. This will help you save time and prevent any misunderstandings at the end of your car hire period.

To secure the best rates, book your car hire at least 2 weeks in advance. Generally, December offers the lowest prices for car hires in Kuwait.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Kuwait, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Many car hire deals in Kuwait 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.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

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.

Opt for a compact car for easier parking and navigation through busy streets.

If you're looking for more comfort or features, inquire about upgrade options at the rental desk. Sometimes, upgrades are offered at a discounted rate at pickup.
