Due to the sandy and rocky roads in Jeddah, consider renting 4x4 vehicles to explore the city and its surrounding area comfortably. However, renting a sedan with a 4WD might be a great idea if you are on a tight budget. The sedan is slightly raised off the ground, preventing it from damaging bumps and rocks. Small and less powerful Jeddah car rentals get stuck in the sand easily. Most importantly, get a car with a large fuel tank, as gas stations lie far apart.
