Top tips for renting a car in Amman

The city boasts iconic attractions and neighborhoods for travelers who love adventure. You can drive to a few places, such as Masada National Park, 59 miles (95km) southwest of Amman, within two hours. Jordan Valley Marriott Dead Sea Resort & Spa is 24 miles (38km) southwest of Amman and takes only one hour when driving a rental car. Also, you can enjoy a road trip 62 miles (99km) north of Amman to the Sea of Galilee within 1h 50min.
- Road conditions in Amman city are excellent, but traffic can be hectic. That's why you should research the best roads to drive and which to avoid before booking a rental vehicle. In addition, roads in the city, such as Rainbow Street, are well-marked and have signposts to warn about the speed limit. However, be cautious when driving your rental car at night because most secondary routes out of town lack streetlights. In addition, Amman car rentals offer various car rental options to choose from depending on which route you prefer in the city, including SUVs and vans.
- Most cheap car rentals in Amman are near Amman Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA). Some are located near South Terminal 1 and others near North Terminal 2. Thus, you can choose where you prefer to pick up and drop off your rental car. You need to cover 18 miles (30km) from the airport to the city. Driving a rental vehicle takes 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the traffic. However, an airport shuttle takes about 45 to 60 minutes to cover the same distance. Some popular car rental companies near the airport include Arena Rent a Car, Ace, and Avis.

Apr. 2018
Cons:
I arrived in Jordan and went to the sixt rental booth to pick up my car. Approaching the desk I immediately noticed a large commotion from a group of about 10 people. Upon entering the group, it became evident that they had overbooked their inventory and were beginning to make people wait upwards of 6 hours for a car. When it was finally my turn in line, I politely told the sales manager my booking reference number for the car. He spends about 20 seconds looking it up on the computer before turning towards me telling me ‘my booking had been cancelled’. After my expected reaction of how?, what?, when?, why?, the sales manager broke eye contact with me and looking at his feet in shame muttered that ‘their office no longer accepts booking from agencies.’ Ok guy, you don’t accept bookings from agencies? You don’t honor kayak bookings? Really? So you cancelled my 2 week prior reservation without any sort of communication and there isn’t anything you can do for me because you over booked your fleet and there are not enough cars to meet resercarions. Dear sixt, Next time you lie to my face. Please look me in the eyes.Europcar
